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 jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
