FreeBSD 15.0-RC2 (package based), using pkg v. 2.4.2_1

1) pkg-fetch does not use the All directory relative to the=20
specified output directory, it uses the Hashed directory=20
when a package is in the FreeBSD-base repository.
This is not documented in the pkg-fetch man page:

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported by pkg fetch:
   [...]
    -o destdir, --output destdir
                   Place files in a sub-directory called All of the specifi=
ed
                   directory.  In this mode, packages are fetched for
                   distribution instead of placing them into the internal
                   cache.
