Some more people have noted this change
as breaking tool scripts, etc.

And useful meta files are unfortunately now invisible:
packagesite.txz, meta.txz, pkg.txz, pkg.txz.sig

If someone want to block the '/.../All/' dir full of pkgs,
maybe, but do not block any other part of the hier.

Yes, there does not appear to be any docs enumerating all
the available live names for use in PACKAGESITE url.
Reopening the above dirs would be self documenting.

The name for the term in <term> position of /${ABI}/<term>/All/...
might be "REPOSITORY_ROOT" or "repo-path" or simply "repository",
but it does not seem defined for users in pkg or pkg.conf manpages.
"distribution" is unlikely the correct term, "branch" might be
a useful connotation regarding ports source tree.

Those names don't correspond 1:1 to anything on pkg.freebsd.org.

Pkg buildlogs are a separate issue.
They should be available for browsing, same as kernel, base...
