-Carbs Packaging Tools
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Package management toolset for Carbs Linux. Forked from [KISS]. All usage
-information can be obtained from the manual page. For changes please refer to
-the `CHANGELOG.md` file.
-
-[KISS]: https://github.com/kisslinux/kiss
-
-
-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, you will need the following software:
-
-- texinfo (for generating '.info' pages)
-- 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.

-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.
