In fact, yes, pkg_add and the other pkg_tools commands are being phased out in favour of pkgng. However it is early days yet, and the problem you're seeing has nothing to do with that process. pkgng won't become the default in 9.x until the next release: until then the status quo ante persists. > This path does not exist on ftp.freebsd.org. Quite so. It's because of this: http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html As a consequence, large parts of the package building infrastructure are quarantined, pending reinstallation. Also there is a lot of work going into revising the software used to build the packages with security enhancements in mind. So there simply aren't packages available yet to go with 9.1-RELEASE.
