Hi All,<br>
<br>
So I may have chosen a bad day for it, but I've had need to wrap my hands around pkg(NG) in FreeBSD 9.1 today.<br>
<br>
Question:<br>
Is it me, or are the remote pkg servers offline or something? I've been following the handbook docs, and can't 'search' or then 'install' anything with it- and I mean anything.<br>

hey .ike - the old school pkg_add repositories are offline due to break-in on <a href="http://freebsd.org" target="_blank">freebsd.org</a> servers last year.<br>
</blockquote>
Gotcha, I need to read more,<br>

Sad to say I barely noticed, been prepping a migration from an old bleeding-edge Ubuntu shop, by building a gnarly stack up from sources. All I've been using is gcc and dtach (on machines built prior to the advisory dates).<br>

regarding pkgng repo's i've been building 91amd64 repo's on a server and using that to deploy packages on all my machines/jails etc. feel free to use it - and let me know if you'd like anything added:<br>

things are working as expected on my end with this config:<br>

Dude, that's quite sweet of you, I just gnabbed gcc (and related bits) from your box, which should be all I need to get me through the day!<br>
<br>
And, if this pkg server does not belong to the pete@nomadlogic that I know and love, but instead belongs to some random stranger which hijack my box for it's own fun and profit, well, the box will be nuked soon enough- feel free to fun while it lasts.<br>

lol no worries, and it is indeed the traitorous pete wright who left nyc for lax!<br>
<br>
sounds like you got a lot of fun going on over there there, and i can def. empathize - i've just finished rebuilding most of CPAN for RHEL5+perl-5.16.2 custom environment - so i'm glad i could help take a bit of the frustration out of your day since i've recently been in an equally painful situation :)<div class="im">
