=head1 COLLECTED PACKAGE FILES
+These files reside in F<$PDIR/.collected> (subject to change).
+
+The directory is somewhat similar to F<~/bin> - it is automatically populated
+by pkg. However, this one does not contain symlinks.
+
+Currently, it only contains the directory F<man/>, which holds the "compiled"
+manual pages from the packages (both extracted from F<bin/> and F<man/>).
+This way, yuo can put F<.../.collected/man> into you MANPATH to access manuals
+provided by packages.

B<pkg> uses git(1) as backend for storing and syncing package information.
