Summary

  • The official FreeBSD ports package (pkg install net/unpoller) is no longer published, which is what unpoller/unpoller#1085 reported.
  • Update the FreeBSD install guide to use the goreleaser tarballs from GitHub Releases (unpoller_<version>_freebsd_{amd64,arm64,armv7}.tar.xz), including the service account, extract into /usr/local, and a non-destructive up.conf copy.
  • Replace the old ports compile steps with a go build source-install fallback.

Test plan

  • Open /docs/install/freebsd and confirm pkg install net/unpoller is no longer the primary install method
  • Confirm the GitHub Releases link opens and the listed asset names match a current release
  • Confirm Getting Started and Installation Overview still link to the FreeBSD page
  • Confirm the example fetch/tar commands match the archive layout (/usr/local/bin/unpoller, rc.d script, up.conf.example)

Made with Cursor

The official net/unpoller port is gone, so document the goreleaser tarball and a source-build fallback instead of pkg install.
