Solved Disappearing pkg packages? Trying to install flang (Fortran compiler)

P

Preetpal

I basically wanted to install https://www.freshports.org/devel/flang/ but it appears to be unavailable although it appeared once via pkg search flang? Any suggestions (other than installing from ports (I currently am only using binary packages on this system)) would be welcome.

Code: 
ps@myhostname [00:45:48 Mon Feb 05] (0)
/usr/home/ps ruby@2.5.0 $ pkg search flang
flang-5.0.20171019_2           Fortran compiler targeting LLVM
flang-clang-5.0.20171019_1     Fortran compiler targeting LLVM (modified clang part)

ps@myhostname [01:41:27 Mon Feb 05] (0)
/usr/home/ps ruby@2.5.0 $ sudo pkg install flang

Unfortunately devel/flang-clang currently fails to build [1] [2] on the quarterly branch. An update to devel/llvm50 was merged to it on 2018-02-02 without checking if packages fail to build because of it. IMHO this shouldn't have been done. I've notified the maintainer and responsible committer and hopefully the package will be available again soon.

You could switch to using latest packages in the meantime. [3] explains how.

Was this done via a public observable channel (like https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/)? I wondering this in case I want to report issues in the future.
