Appendix B. Layout of the FTP server's package archive

Layout for precompiled binary packages on ftp.netbsd.org:

/pub/NetBSD/packages/
	README
        distfiles/
	pkgsrc -> /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/pkgsrc
        1.3/
        	i386/
                        All/
                        archivers/
                                foo -> ../All/foo
                        ...
                m68k/
                        All/
                        archivers/
                                foo -> ../All/foo
                        ...
                amiga -> m68k
                atari -> m68k
                ...
  

To create:

• ``cd /usr/pkgsrc ; make install ; make package''

• upload /usr/pkgsrc/packages to ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/`uname -r`/`sysctl -n hw.machine_arch`

• if necessary, create appropriate symlinks for architectures sharing the same packages: ``ln -s `sysctl -n hw.machine` `sysctl -n hw.machine_arch`''

Disk space needed: approx. 1.3GB for one architecture (as of Jul 2000).
