|
|
|
|
|
lbpkgs use the file extension `.lbpkg`, all files in the package
|
|
|
|
|
are contained within a`tar`, compressed using `xz`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have chosen to use `xz` over the over pupular compression algorithms
|
|
|
|
|
as we currently need packages to be small to save disk space and
|
|
|
|
|
bandwidth, which for a small linux distribution is something which is
|
|
|
|
|
very valuable. We may support lighter compressed packages later on which
|
|
|
|
|
are fast at decompressing allowing for high speed installation, provided
|
|
|
|
|
the bandwidth is there to support it.

## Package layout
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike other package formats, lbpkg's do not use directories to define
|
|
|
|
|
the path to install packages to, instead there is a `LBMANIFEST` in
|
|
|
|
|
