Its aim is to +provide a stable, powerful, and easily used library for package management that +complements the tools that come with it. It has the following features: + +- **POSIX shell library** - with its shell library, it is really easy to create + advanced scripts that wrap around the package manager and extend its + functionality. + +- **Powerful, but simple** - even with the multitudes of functionalities that + CPT provides, the tools provided aim to be as "low-interaction" as possible + and get out of your way. No user should spend countless hours on wiki pages + just to understand the proper way of installing a "masked" package. If the + user seeks to modify the build of a package, easy tools should be provided, + but those tools should not be required for basic functionality. + +- **Simple packaging system** - CPT has a easy to understand, simple, and static + packaging system, that makes it really easy to write and maintain packages. + Instead of complex `PKGBUILD` scripts or weird templates, packages are formed + of multiple little files that are easily written and easily parsed, even + without needing the help of the package manager itself. + +- **Easy Repository Management** - CPT makes it easy to create or use multiple + repositories at the same time. Repositories are added and prioritised by the + `$CPT_PATH` variable, an environment value that is already familiar to many + users with the `$PATH` variable. + +- **Serve repositories with your method** - Package repositories can be served + in a variety of formats, they can be either local, served with Git, Mercurial, + or through the `rsync` method, with Fossil integration to be added soon. + +<hr> + +### Latest Release: 6.0.3 ([2021-05-10](/timeline?c=6.0.3)) + +- [Download](/uvlist?byage=1) +- [Changelog](/doc/trunk/CHANGELOG.md) +- [User Manual](https://carbslinux.org/docs/cpt) |
