-In Th, RPMs can always be found under ''​th/​$treename/​$architecture/​RPMS/​'' ​directoryCurrently "​PLD" ​and "​test"​ trees will be used (most users will probably want to stay away from the latter) and "​upgrades-*" trees **might** be used after Th's official releaseDo note, that the "​ready"​ tree known from PLD 2.0 will **not** be used in any way that would make it usable ​to users (assuming ​it will be used at all)+In PLD Th introduces debuginfo packages (detached debug info for gdb and friends). In Th all package debuginfo are kept under paths corresponding to their target architectures as ''​debuginfo''​. ​This allows smaller poldek indexes meaning poldek likely works faster ​and perhaps happier mirror maintainers.
