Package management toolset for Carbs Linux. Forked from KISS. All usage information can be obtained from the manual page. Refer to the ChangeLog 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
  • 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:

./configure
make
make 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, 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
