I've been reading all the release notes I can find and I'm not understanding why after upgrading to 9.1 I have to compile from source to install stuff now. It takes forever and asks me questions I have no idea what the answer is to. Early today I installed irssi which I had to do with make clean install because just doing pkg_add -r irssi complains about not being able to find the url of it. Should I just reinstall 9.0 and not upgrade, will ports work correctly then?
