<title>Where to get pkgsrc and how to keep it up-to-date</title>
- <para>The most common location where pkgsrc is installed is
- <filename>/usr/pkgsrc</filename> for the <quote>package
- sources</quote> and <filename>/usr/pkg</filename> for the
- installed binary packages. You are though free to install the
- sources and binary packages wherever you want in your
- filesystem, provided that both paths do not contain white-space
- or other characters that are interpreted specially by the shell
- and some other programs. A safe bet is to use only letters,
- digits, underscores and dashes in the names.</para>
