Is it just me or is Chromium unavailable in latest pgk repo for 12.1-RELEASE-p2?

Just wondering the above. I'm tracking the
Code:
latest
pkg repository, and chromium is unavailable there. Or at least
Code:
pkg search chromium
doesn't turn anything up. Any ideas?
 
shkhln Question: how did you find that build failure? I went to the site trying to locate it myself inductively and couldn't.
 
how did you find that build failure?

Open the status page, click on the icon to the left of "Package Builds", type "121amd64" into the search box, click on the number in the "default" entry (default = latest repo), check all the failed/skipped ports. If there is nothing there, click on the "previous build" link and check failed/skipped ports again.

It's the worst user interface ever.

It's expertly obfuscated, that's all.
 
shkhln So my email to the devs was rejected because I'm not on the mailing list ... I really don't think I should have to join a mailing list - thereby subjecting myself to notifications for issues I'm not interested in - to report a bug, but hey.

Anyway, much appreciate the detailed instructions for the pkg site. Very helpful.

I actually think it's pretty clear once it's explained. Things can be intuitive, documented, both, or neither. Only that last one is absolutely unacceptable. The rest can be worked with depending on the user's time, patience, knowledge, and experience.
 
You can turn that off in the signup area.

Really? I was always of the impression that if you disabled that you'd never get any notifications about replies to your problem. Or is that not the case?

You can also report bugs on bugzilla and not receive email there, too.

This bugzilla? If it is, I didn't know you could report problems with ported packages there. I fully expected to get shot reporting anything that doesn't live inside FreeBSD proper if I tried that.

All bugs are reported there. For ports, for the base, even for errors in the documentation.

Note that build errors are usually automatically sent to the maintainer.
 
FWIW, Chromium is now back in the latest pkg repo for 12.1-RELEASE-p3. Installed just now and it seems to be working well. Be sure to follow the post-installation notes.
