Summary:

Where is the (U.S.) pkg(ng) repository for amd64 9.2-RELEASE (i.e.,
what's the right URI for PACKAGESITE in pkg.conf)?


Things I tried that didn't work:

* pkg_add -r pkg  didn't create /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf

* pkg.conf.sample suggests "http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest",
  but the host name pkg.freebsd.org does not DNS resolve for me.

* URLs using pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org didn't work, and
  http://pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org/  itself says
  "Currently this site only contains pkg bootstrap files!"

Thanks!
