Attempting to install desktop-installer, it errors:

Installing src tree...
/usr/local/sbin/auto-install-base-components: 13.0-RELEASE: not found
Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/amd64/13.0-RELEASE/src.txz...
fetch: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/amd64/13.0-RELEASE/src.txz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

I had filed a bug on the github, it has since been removed, no answer or explaination.
How to get around this, I had used this last month and worked fine.
Thanks

The github repository is a read-only copy. Bugs should be reported here: https://bugs.freebsd.org

Looking at the error, the snapshot directory is for snapshots of -STABLE and -CURRENT. There are no -RELEASE versions stored there, so it's trying to download the files from the wrong location.

Are you referring to https://github.com/outpaddling/desktop-installer/issues/24? What led you to believe it was removed and there was no response? At any rate, this issue was fixed in ports head Jan 30 and merged back to quarterly ports Feb 2.
Best,
