Some pictures of a big heavy lifting vessel that's been shuttling feet for new turbines out from Leith to a new windfarm in the North Sea for a little while, now. The scale of it is really quite something.

For anyone who are failing builds with #FreeBSD #ports graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod{-devel} on 13.5-RELEASE, 14.3-RELEASE or stable/13:

Does the patch at review D56214 fix your issue?
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D56214

Note that the newer patch at Bug 294096 is technically the same one.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294096

If it doesn't work, older patch at Bug 294096 should work (but overkill for unaffected 15.4-RELEASE, stable/15 and main).

⚙ D56214 graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod*: Fix build for 13.5, 14.3 and 15.0

Yes. Release Highlights for 580.142 comments about it.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/265444/

If you need legacy 580 series (currently at 580.142) for old GPUs on #FreeBSD you can use:
x11/nvidia-kmod-580
x11/nvidia-driver-580

And if you prefer DRM/KMS interface, one of
graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod-580
that matches your base FreeBSD version is needed additionally.

If you need #NVIDIA #Linux libraries, you additionally need:
x11/linux-nvidia-libs-580

Note that, as "-devel" variants of NVIDIA #GPU drivers on FreeBSD #ports tracks whichever newer one of New Feature Branch (NFB) or Production Branch (PB), "-devel" variants are currently at 595.58.03, too. Both 580.142 and 595.58.03 are released this month (Mar., 2026).

Beta drivers are just triggers for us to start investigating for upcoming NFB or PB, thus, FreeBSD ports should never been bumped for them (although supports for testing could appear earlier with upgrades for PB, NFB or legacy drivers).

I have a #FreeBSD #ports related question - If I manually add a git repo using MASTER_SITES and add that file to DISTFILES, how can I specify where that tarball/archive should be extracted?
Im trying to manually add a git repo as a submodule which is not on github/gitlab, so I cant use the GH_/GL_ helpers. The Porters Handbook also didnt really help me with that.
