Hi all,
This implies that we will not be able to create or update jails with binary packages installed after the switch date. While it is possible to run an 11.2 jail on an 11.3 kernel/system, it is not the other way round.
We had the same situation with the switch from 11.1 to 11.2 ...
Kind regards,
Patrick

Subject: [HEADS UP] Binary packages for FreeBSD 11 to require 11.3 soon
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2019 04:19:07 +0200
Message-ID: <sgo1-gx5w-wny@FreeBSD.org>
FreeBSD 11.3 was released on 2019-07-09. After adding 3 months support
overlap it'd be 2019-10-09 (yesterday). Given 11.2 is EOL the package
cluster will upgrade from 11.2 to 11.3 [*] while the ports tree would
adjust ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM knob and drop 11.2-specific workarouds.
Once packages for 11.3 are built (from 2 to 4 days + few hours to mirror)
/quarterly and /latest won't be usable on 11.2 anymore. /release_2 from
2018-06-05 should still work.
So, upgrade to FreeBSD 11.3 or backup 11.2 packages. If you're on
FreeBSD 11.3 already beware some packages may disappear due to broken
build e.g., from base Clang/libc++ 8 upgrade.

[*] Look for 113amd64 and 113i386 jails on https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/
May not be visible until build starts e.g., on Tue/Thu/Sat at 01:00 UTC.
