I have just installed 9.1 amd64 on a test machine and wanted

a handy guide how to get started or should I use pkg_add -r?
Is this any different for i386? It used to be that there's
no i386 pkgng repository.
I ran pkg and it fetched and setup pkgng. That was easy.
Is it possible that the November 2012 security incident means
there's still no installable packaged via pkg-install?
I was going to install rsync.
I believe it is still the case that there is no official package
repository. I've gone to using poudriere to maintain a local pkgng
repository. Once set up (not too hard) it's remarkably painless.
I really think a message needs to go out on the announce list (as well
as ports@ and questions@, others as appropriate) about the fact there is
no official pkg repo at the moment. I'm constantly seeing emails about
this on this list.
