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. |
