Thanks. Not yet packaged for Tier 1 ARM64.
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/ampere5/build.html?mastername=150arm64-default&build=89a804c19f17#queued – 150arm64-default:
- version 0.2.2 is queued.
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/ampere2/build.html?mastername=main-arm64-default&build=pea4da10cbbca_sbeab2fe9245#queued – main-arm64-default (for CURRENT):
- not queued
- this build began a few days ago (Saturday 2026-03-28).

Basically, Quarterly, the default for *-RELEASE, gets security upgrades, build fixes and fixes for anything stopped working to work again only.
And Quarterly branches from main (aka latest) every quarter (early Jan., Apr., Jul. and Oct.).
Next one (2026Q2) would be branched in early April (soonish).
If you want to use anything new but running supported *-RELEASE, you need to manually switch default pkg repo to latest.
But as it means there could be more breakages on latest, (re-)read Chapter 4 of the handbook, especially Chapter 4.4.2, before trying and decide whether to switch or not.

You can install it with `pkg install sylve`, or build it from ports: `cd /usr/ports/sysutils/sylve && make install clean`
Really happy to see this land; thanks to @dch for all his help porting this!
LOL. That means now I have to refactor my ansible installer playbook for Sylve...Though this makes it a lot easier than it was...
