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.
