Readme updated today:
This repository is no longer actively maintained.
The TrueNAS build system previously hosted here has been moved to an internal infrastructure. This transition was necessary to meet new security requirements, including support for Secure Boot and related platform integrity features that require tighter control over the build and signing pipeline.
No further updates, pull requests, or issues will be accepted. Existing content is preserved here for historical reference only.

Wondering if this is just the first step towards doing a minio in the future.
I found a post on the forum:

This is only their old build system which they weren’t using themselves, the rest of the OS will remain open source. However they also said some worrying stuff about including “proprietary pieces of the OS”.
According to their own documentation: https://github.com/truenas/scale-build
The TrueNAS build system previously hosted here has been moved to an internal infrastructure.This doesn’t sound like they are no longer using the build tool, they are simply not open-sourcing it anymore.
@Ek-Hou-Van-Braai @SteveTech So are they hosting the source code outside of github on their own platform or is it not going to be available at all?
Afaik they are hosting their code on their own closed source internal system.
So it will no longer be Open-Source
@Ek-Hou-Van-Braai That sucks. So where does that leave us opensource advocates? What opensource Nas options do we have now?
In a years time will the public be able to build trueNAS for themselves without developing their own build tools?
If not then the TrueNAS is no longer Open Source as people can’t practically build it for themselves
(or verify that during the build some code wasn’t injected)
