Why does v2.7.0 not have a pkg.txz ?

[NopIt]

Looking at the index of pfSense_v2_7_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_7_0/Latest/, there is no pkg.txz:

Index of /pfSense_v2_7_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_7_0/Latest/

../
pkg.pkg                                            08-Sep-2023 14:32             9273126
pkg.pkg.sig                                        16-Nov-2023 20:56                 727

Assuming that pkg.txz.sig is some sort of signature for pkg.txz, I wonder why it would be missing.

For pfSense_v2_6_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_6_0/Latest/ for example it is there:

I'm asking because of this error btw:

[2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/root: pkg bootstrap -f

The package system switched to using .pkg some time ago. The pkg binary should check for both files but may only show the error unless if you run it verbose.
