The packages-9.0-release/Latest/ subdirectory does NOT exists?

It looks like ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.0-release/Latest (or packages-9-stable) does exist any more. What's wrong?

pkg_add -r math/lp_solve
Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/Latest/math/lp_solve.tbz:

I think it's a problem with the mirror. Even ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ is completely empty.

It's true, I've run into multiple problems with ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable in the last day or two. I'm using other mirrors.


pkg_add -r math/lp_solve

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/Latest/math/ isn't a valid path, correct? Don't you want `pkg_add -r lp_solve` instead of `pkg_add -r math/lp_solve`?
