Archive Format

The archives are in the format of bzip2-compressed tarballs, and they each extract into a directory of their own, named according to the particular product and software version number.Each archive contains source code organized by software license, then by package. Every package is distributed with a tarball of its original source code, and, in some cases, an additional patch which describes any modifications made by Garmin. For example:
