+<title>Directory layout of the pkgsrc FTP server</title>
+ <para>As in other big projects, the directory layout of pkgsrc
+ is quite complex for newbies. This chapter explains where you
+ find things on the FTP server. The base directory on
+ <filename>ftp.NetBSD.org</filename> is <ulink
+ url="ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc"><filename>/pub/pkgsrc</filename></ulink>.
+ This directory contains some subdirectories, which are explained
+ below.</para>
+
+<sect1 id="ftp-bootstrap">
+<title><filename>bootstrap-pkgsrc</filename>: Bootstrap kits</title>
+
+ <para>For those who only want to manage binary packages on
+ systems other than NetBSD, we provide the package management
+ tools in a separate, small tar file.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+<sect1 id="ftp-distfiles">
+<title><filename>distfiles</filename>: The distributed source files</title>
+
+ <para>The directory <filename>distfiles</filename> contains lots
+ of archive files from all pkgsrc packages, which are mirrored
+ here. The subdirectories are called after their package names
+ and are used when the distributed files have names that don't
+ explicitly contain a version number or are otherwise too generic
+ (for example <filename>release.tar.gz</filename>).</para>
+
+</sect1>
+<sect1 id="ftp-iso">
+<title><filename>iso</filename>: Currently empty</title>
+
+ <para>This directory is currently not in use.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+<sect1 id="ftp-misc">
+<title><filename>misc</filename>: Miscellaneous things</title>
+
+ <para>This directory contains things that individual pkgsrc
+ developers find worth publishing.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+<sect1 id="ftp-packages">
+<title><filename>packages*</filename>: Binary packages</title>
+
+ <para>These directories contain binary packages. Those
+ directories that have a branch name
+ (200<replaceable>x</replaceable>Q<replaceable>y</replaceable>)
+ contain packages from that particular branch. The directory
+ <filename>packages</filename> contains binary packages from
+ pkgsrc-current. (However, this does not necessarily mean that
+ the packages are still current anymore.)</para>
+
+ <para>Below the <filename>packages*</filename> directories are
+ directories that distinguish the packages by operating system
+ and version, the next directory level specifies the hardware
+ architecture.</para>
+
+ <para>In each of the platform-specific directories, there is a
+ whole binary packages collection. It has a directory called
+ <filename>All</filename> which contains all binary packages.
+ Besides that, there are various category directories that
+ contain symbolic links to the real binary packages.</para>
+
+</sect1>
+<sect1 id="ftp-source">
+<title><filename>current</filename>,
+<filename>200<replaceable>x</replaceable>Q<replaceable>y</replaceable></filename>:
+source packages</title>
+
+ <para>These directories contain the <quote>real</quote> pkgsrc,
+ that is the files that define how to create binary packages from
+ source archives.</para>
+
+ <para>The directory <filename>pkgsrc</filename> contains a
+ snapshot of the CVS repository, which is updated on a regularly
+ basis. The file <filename>pkgsrc.tar.gz</filename> contains the
+ same as the directory, ready to be downloaded as a whole.</para>
+
+ <para>In the directories for the quarterly branches, there is an
+ additional file called
+ <filename>pkgsrc-200<replaceable>x</replaceable>Q<replaceable>y</replaceable>.tar.gz</filename>,
+ which contains the state of pkgsrc when it was branched.</para>
