  Contains detailed information about each installed port, e.g. which files belong to the port with corresponding checksums.
 
 `software`
- Contains the installed software itself. If a port is activated its files are hard links in the `${prefix}` folders to the corresponding files here. `port uninstall <port> <version>+<variant>` would remove it from here, but then this port can not be used anymore.
+ Contains the compressed archives of installed software. If a port is activated its files are extracted to the `${prefix}` folders from the compressed files here. `port uninstall <port> <version>+<variant>` would remove it from here, but then this port can not be used anymore.
 
 `sources`
  In the subfolder `rsync.macports.org/release/base` are the MacPorts sources themselves (e.g., for the port(1) command). A `port selfupdate` updates this from the MacPorts rsync server.
