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.
