All packages go in the All directory that was mentioned before, EXCEPT if they have a known security issue(s). http://pkgsrc.se/www/firefox Has a vulnerabilites link if you want to know more. The reason for this is that the package builds fine, but you have to make a special effort to install it. This way, you don't add something with a security issue without knowing that you are adding it. In general, the All directory set as PKG_PATH will work for you. If you try to install something and the package isn't found, check that vulnerabilities directory or look at the package's Makefile. If it has something in there about a restricted license, it will be skipped in a bulk build. (Some packages have restrictions on where and how they can be distributed other than as source builds.)
