Is vscode broken ?

The unfortunate news is that VSCode 1.90 was just dropped in ports. The better news: you won't need to rebuild *all* your dependencies to get it.
 
We should have a thread about how to get fast-building hardware cheaply.

Lots of building going on even without -STABLE/-CURRENT.
 
Get RAM and use tmpfs, then add as many cores as you can. My server box with 64GB RAM and a Ryzen 5 3600 builds quite nicely and it has spinning disks for storage. Using tmpfs makes a world of difference.
 
☝️Current comparable is Ryzen 5 5500. That's about $80. You can get an an extra two cores and a 7% boost to single-core for about $160 (Ryzen 7 5700)

If I donate new build machines, though, will FreeBSD build more than one version of electron to solve this problem? Since mixing ports and pkg isn't supported and building everything gets to be ridiculous.

FreshPorts issue reported.

Fixed, albeit not the issue that was originally perceived.

Found now:
  • one package – 1.90.0 for FreeBSD:15:latest on AMD64
  • 2024-05-18 fallout for 140amd64-default (maybe negligible, since the port was updated on 2024-06-07 – I'm not checking the status server, someone else might like to).
