+Carbs Packaging Tools
+=====================
+
+Package management toolset for Carbs Linux. Forked from KISS[1]. All usage
+information can be obtained from the manual page. Refer to the ChangeLog[2] to
+learn what's new.
+
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+To build and use cpt, you need the following software:
+
+- rsync
+- curl
+- POSIX base utilities [coreutils, busybox, sbase, etc.]
+- pax or tar [GNU tar, busybox, toybox, libarchive, etc.]
+- Common compression utilities such as `gzip`, `bzip2`, `xz`, etc.
+
+
+In order to build the documentation from source, you will need the following
+software:
+
+- GNU Texinfo (for generating `.info` pages)
+- GNU Emacs (for generating `.texi` and `.txt` pages)
+
+However, distributed tarballs come with info pages, and `.texi` and `.txt` files
+are committed directly into the repository, meaning that you don't need Texinfo
+if you are using a tarball, and you don't need Emacs as long as you don't edit
+the documentation.
+
+You can also completely disable the build/installation of the documentation by
+either passing `DOCS=no` to `make` or editing `config.mk` to disable it.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+In order to install CPT, you can run the following with `make`:
+
+ make
+ make PREFIX=/usr install
+
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+The documentation for each tool along with some examples can be found on
+manpages installed with the package manager. User manual of CPT can be found
+online[3], or installed as both plain-text and as info pages. Without any
+changes to the Makefile configuration those files can be found at:
+
+- /usr/local/share/docs/cpt/cpt.txt
+- /usr/local/share/info/cpt.info

-Directory Structure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- / -- README, LICENSE, CHANGELOG
- contrib/ -- for Shell scripts that wrap around cpt.
- docs/ -- for documentation.
- man/ -- for manual pages.
- src/ -- for the tools that make up the package manager.
-
-
-Defining Base
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Tools such as cpt-orphans and cpt-reset define the base from the file
-`/etc/cpt-base`. An example cpt-base file can be found from the root directory
-of the repository, which is the default base for Carbs Linux. A user can modify
-this file to fit their needs and redefine their base for the system. For
-example, a user can decide that they want `sbase` instead of `busybox` for their
-base, so if they reset their system, busybox will be removed instead of sbase.
-
-This file is used to ship a predefined base, while leaving the base to a user's
-choice. However, it isn't installed by the Makefile so that the packagers may
-define their own base, or so that a user can install cpt without using it as
-their main package manager.
