Default FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE unable to get ftp...
Hi

I am new to FreeBSD but not to Linux. I downloaded the newest version of FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE (memstick.iso / i386) and installed it. If I try to get a package with pkg_add -r packagename it says:
Code:
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.1-release/Latest/mc.tbz' by URL
The FreeBSD server doesn't have the folder packages-9.1-release so I am not sure which URL I have to use with setenv.

Maybe packages-9.0-stable or packages-stable?

Any help would be great

From the announcement:
Quote:
Please note that precompiled third-party packages are not available for 9.1-RELEASE at the time of release.

[...]

Due to the security incident reported here:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/2012-compromise.html

only the small third-party package set on the DVD image is available at this time for users who require pre-built packages (just GNOME and KDE windowing systems). The FreeBSD Project's package building infrastructure is undergoing a complete review and redesign. At this time we can not commit to a date the full release package set will become available. A separate announcement will be made when that becomes available. If you wish to install 9.1-RELEASE now you can build your own packages using portsnap(8) to obtain an up to date ports tree and then build the packages. If you require pre-built packages you should wait for the announcement of the full release package set becoming available.

So yes, using the packages-9-stable repository sounds like a good idea.

How about pkgng, are there any usable packages already?
I did not find anything by nosing around on pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org
I get e.g.
# pkg install subversion
pkg: Package 'subversion' was not found in the repositories

Doesn't it use the very same packages as the pkg_* tools? If they aren't there (yet), they aren't there (yet).

PKGNG has a different package format, you can't install the old packages with pkgng tools and vice versa. There are no PKGNG packages yet for 9.1-RELEASE because 9.1 still uses the old pkg tools by default and PKGNG is still an experimental feature for 9.X releases of FreeBSD.

In a similar vein, I saw the release announcement for FreeBSD 9.1 this morning, so I tried to download via FTP.

ftp.au.freebsd.org - no 9.1 directory (under ISO-IMAGES-AMD64)
ftp2.freebsd.org - no 9.1 directory
ftp.freebsd.org - no 9.1 directory

Am I somehow seeing expired cached data, or is it not on the FTP sites yet?

Cheers, figured it out just now.

Looks like there are a bunch of dead/out of date symlinks on the FTP site.

ISO-IMAGES-AMD64 is listed before "releases" and logically looks like where you should find AMD64 ISO images. It links to a directory with subdirectories for 7.x through 8.x.

In that case, forget I said anything.

I've that in /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc # or another similar though. More steps needed to make it more relevant to your question maybe.
