pkgng package was not found in the repositories

[thekeymaker]

Hi all,

I just installed a fresh copy of FreeBSD 9.1 to try out PKGNG. The first thing I did was to log in as root and setup PKGNG with the steps listed in the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pkgng-intro.html

Which for me consists of running the following:
# /usr/sbin/pkg
putting

WITH_PKGNG=	yes

in /etc/make.conf.

Now in the following the examples in the handbook I ran this command:
# pkg install curl

Just to see if it would prompt me if I wanted to install the package and I got the following:

Updating repository catalogue
repo.txz                     100%
pkg: Package 'curl' was not found in the repositories

Am I missing something? Is the repository still down/not rebuilt from the security incident back in November?

I apologize if there is a trivial fix to this and appreciate any responses!

Oh, also I haven't touched /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf. So my PACKAGESITE still points to http://pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest

Hi!

Take a look at the contents of the link you provide for the package site: there's not a lot of them to be found!

They will announce when the packages are ready.

At the moment there is no promise of PKGNG package's availability, you'll have to compile them yourself.

Thanks @Juanitou and @kpa! That was the info I was looking for.
