Freebsd 15.1. -p1 dirty ???

[mer]

The dirty comes from git and means changes that are not commited. Seems like someone or the build script just applied the patch against the git revision for 15.1 and then compiles, without doing a git commit. It's harmless but feels... dirty.

Yes, Re: 15.1-RELEASE-p1 has dirty tag set?:

It is the unfortunate result of operator error when submitting the
patches to the freebsd-update build server.  Since only the metadata is
affected, and only for amd64, we will most likely just leave it be until
the next set of advisories.

This is not quite true:
