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 + +[1]: https://github.com/kisslinux/kiss +[2]: https://fossil.carbslinux.org/cpt/log +[3]: https://carbslinux.org/docs/cpt |
