With previous versions the created packages went into /usr/ ports/packages/All. However the packages directory was not created on a new installation. The packages were being built in the ports top level directory. Before I noticed that, I created a packages directory and the remaining packages are being built in it as before. I didn't find any indications of a change in the various notes with the release. Has there been a change in the package structure?
