Summary

For kernel modules which only work when installed with a kernel of a specific minor release (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241101), ensure that packages of this module are available for each such release (primarily useful only when multiple minor releases are currently supported).

Example

make -C /usr/ports/graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod FLAVOR=fbsd1201 package
make -C /usr/ports/graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod FLAVOR=fbsd1200 package

/usr/ports/devel/freebsd-kernel-src/Makefile
50	The port should not be dynamically creating its plist. Instead a static pkg-plist should be generated by a script each time the port is updated for a new source release.

10	11.2 and 12.0 are end-of-life, so no point in building for those.

10	You'll have to use a real email address here, you cannot just make up a FreeBSD one.
