The Garden

A workspace for downloading/installing/developing packages is called a garden. All packages belong to a single garden.

A garden has a specific directory structure:

  • dyd/type - a sentinel file indicating a garden. This file is managed by dryad, and should contain the string garden.
  • dyd/heap - a directory for build artifacts. This directory is managed by dryad.
  • dyd/roots - a directory for package sources. This directory is unmanaged.
  • dyd/shed - a configuration directory. This directory is managed by dryad.
  • dyd/sprouts - an output directory for built packages. This directory is managed by dryad.
