RPI3 12 Fresh install freebsd-update fetch issue

[hulleyrob]

Getting the following message which I'm not getting on an my other AMD64 machine:

root@generic:/home/freebsd # freebsd-update -v debug fetch
src component not installed, skipped
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update1.freebsd.org... fetch: http://update1.freebsd.org/12.0-RELEASE/arm64/pub.ssl: Not Found
failed.
Fetching public key from update4.freebsd.org... fetch: http://update4.freebsd.org/12.0-RELEASE/arm64/pub.ssl: Not Found
failed.

Is this just because the servers haven't propagated for ARM64 yet or an am I missing something as that URL does indeed not seem to exist?

Thanks
Rob

ARM/ARM64 are a Tier 2 architecture.

Tier 2 platforms are not supported by the security officer and release engineering teams.

Thanks wasn’t aware of this.

Yes, what this basically means is that freebsd-update(8) may or may not work. There's no guarantee. That said, previous versions did work so I do expect this will be fixed at some point. As you said, it might just be a propagation issue.
