math/vtk9 and math/octave disappeared from FreeBSD 14 pkg

[niconiconi]

I use FreeBSD for development. Today I noticed that my build server has stopped working:

pkg: No packages available to install matching 'vtk9' have been found in the repositories
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'octave' have been found in the repositories
Tearing down VM
Error: The process '/usr/bin/ssh' failed with exit code 1

Checking FreshPorts, indeed their amd64 versions have disappeared. Does it mean that the build server is still working on this package, or does it mean that the build has failed due to a bug? Does it mean that a FreeBSD pkg can randomly disappear at any moment during an upgrade? Is it a common occurrence, or a rare outage?

Sorry, I should've checked the existing posts before making a new thread. It appears to be a known outage, affecting a ton of packages, so we just need to wait and see.

It's about a week now for me https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/pkg-1-21-3-2-1-0-packages-to-be-removed.97458/post-697424 which feels odd.

The 'quarterly' didn't come as a surprise, did it?

You can ZFS rollback …

the way back isn't my problem - I didn't do the update yet. I am curious about the way forward.
