I was asked why I was exasperated with iocage:

I also recall git was added as a run-time dependency. This changes in requirements was not added to the
FreeBSD port.This broke stuff. https://github.com/iocage/iocage/issues/894 (this issue is listed above).
This affects the systems I run. It has taken FreshPorts offline. Yesterday it took a DNS server offline and it’s not back yet. On occasion, it has stopped all jails from running. It’s annoying. It’s frustrating.
I would prefer to do the work instead of getting ready to do the work. Instead, I am spending days on tasks which should take minutes.
The last release of iocage was in January 2019.
The last release of iocage-devel was in March 2019.
In order to have functioning jails, I am rolling my own packages based on head.
EDIT: re https://twitter.com/DLangille/status/1159867448763584512
The vnet issue I had with iocage was fixed with this commit. My thanks to
for their help in getting this IPv6 stuff sorted out.
Thank you.
