2.1.14 Architecture sections
Within each of the major directory trees (dists/stable/main,
dists/stable/contrib, dists/stable/non-free,
dists/unstable/main, etc.), the binary package entries reside in
subdirectories whose names indicate the chip architecture for which they were
compiled.
-
binary-all/, for packages which are architecture-independent.
These include, for example, Perl scripts, or pure documentation.
Please note that the actual binary packages for testing and
unstable no longer reside in these directories, but in the
top-level pool directory. The index files (Packages
and Packages.gz) have been kept, though, for backwards
compatibility.
For the actual binary architectures supported, see the Release Notes for each
distribution. They can be located at the Release Notes sites for stable and
testing.
