Hi,

I just rented a 9.1-release VPS and was trying to install some packages.
This however does not work as there is no directory "packages-9.1-release" on 
the ftp server (ftp.freebsd.org). Why is this?

ftp> pwd
Remote directory: /pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64
ftp> ls
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||40379|).
150 Here comes the directory listing.

There was a security issue and therefor there are no packages for 9.1


Due to the security incident reported here:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/2012-compromise.html

only the small third-party package set on the DVD image is available at this time for users who require pre-built packages (just GNOME and KDE windowing systems). The FreeBSD Project's package building infrastructure is undergoing a complete review and redesign. At this time we can not commit to a date the full release package set will become available. A separate announcement will be made when that becomes available. If you wish to install 9.1-RELEASE now you can build your own packages using portsnap(8) to obtain an up to date ports tree and then build the packages. If you require pre-built packages you should wait for the announcement of the full release package set becoming available.

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from several vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 9.1-based products is:

Johan
