Reading the pkgng page on the wiki:
"As a consequence of the security incident on 11th November 2012, for
the time being pre-compiled packages for pkgng are not available from
any official FreeBSD repository. [...] Target dates for when service may
be resumed have not been released."
Is that still the case? Is pkgng presently a non-starter?
Just to be clear, pkgng is not broken. You can still use it with the
Ports tree or use it to install locally-built packages.
I wasn't clear on that point. Thanks.
No, pkgng integrates perfectly with Ports. I have WITH_PKGNG=yes on
almost all of my systems. I was following up about the package repo,
which is still empty. I do like the speed increase of pkg-version over
pkg_version.
What can the lowly sysadmin do to speed up getting the pkgng package repo?
