+# sigendpkg file format
+
+The signedpkg file format defines a deployment archive, which contains:
+
+- distribution archive in a file named DIST.A
+- distribution key in a file named DIST.KEY
+- distribution signature in a file named DIST.SIG
+
+To use a signedpkg the user needs:
+
+- deployment key
+- provisioning key
+
+## distribution archive
+
+The distribution archive contains a file and folder structure of files being
+deployed. In the main directory there are be only folders. The folder names
+in the main directory mark symbolic installation locations, which are user
+dependent.
+
+In the p≡p project there are two such installation locations:
+
+- PER_USER_DIRECTORY
+- PER_SYSTEM_DIRECTORY
