I'd also like to find out what the status of this is. The packages at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/ Are still circa October 2012 -- that's 4-5 months ago. While I truly and deeply understand that proper engineering design and infrastructure changes take time, there has been absolutely no communication presented to the community as to what has (or hasn't) transpired, if there is (or isn't) a plan, or if people are simply waiting until future in-person BSD* events to work things out. freebsd-ops-announce has been silent on this matter as well: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ops-announce At this point users and administrators do not know if newer packages will be made available or if they should stick to building purely from source. Deep down I'm worried that this will solicit a response of "switch to ports-mgmt/pkg and ports-mgmt/poudriere". While I'm not opposed to the tools themselves, I'm strongly opposed to that kind of response as I'm tired of seeing the security incident being used as a opportunistic crutch (as it was for the sudden cvsup/csup deprecation). -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administratorhttp://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Mountain View, CA, US| | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Unchanged so far. No official pkgng packages yet. However, an end to the wait is apparently in sight. There has been mention of work on pkgng building systems.

[HEADS UP] pkgng binary packages regression in 1.0.9. Fixed in 1.0.9_1
This only affects binary-packages-only users. pkg 1.0.9 had a regression with 'pkg update' that will prevent updating your repository. Please skip this version and use 1.0.9_1. This version was only in ports for 7 hours. Due to the security incident, there are still no official FreeBSD packages. If you are using an unofficial mirror, it is unlikely it would have upgraded to 1.0.9 in the time it was in the tree. If you are building your own packages and managed to get onto 1.0.9 you can upgrade to 1.0.9_1 as follows: # cp /usr/local/sbin/pkgs-static . # pkg delete -f pkg # ./pkg-static add URL-TO-YOUR-PACKAGESITE/All/pkg-1.0.9_1.txz #optional # rm pkg-static As for how this managed to get released. We did do a functional test of this before releasing, but due to the nature of 'pkg update' using a cache, it was not immediately obvious that it was broken. We do need your help with adding more automated tests. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pkg/2013-March/16.html has our call for help on this front and more information.
