Two other issues are: - Distfiles are simply source code, Makefile's, configuration files, & manpages. Packages contain only binaries, configuration files, manpages, & possibly other descriptive text. Source code is not distributed with packages.
- Packages also contain package-specific directives to the package system which are added to the local database upon installation.
