Glacier functions a lot like Gentoo's 'portage', and while 'glacier' is not as feature-rich, it should satisfy the needs of most users.

2.2 Repositories

The 'GREPO' variable, defined in '/etc/glacier.conf', is where Glacier will download packages to. This is tied into your system profile, and should not be changed.

There are 8 subcategories:

-
    -
  1. world - system software
    2. -
  2. galaxy - copyleft-licensed software
    3. -
  3. universe - permissive-licensed software
    4. -
  4. multiverse - proprietary (binary-redistributable or EULA) software
    5. -
  5. Testing counterparts
    6. -

In addition to the subcategory system, whitelisted licenses can be changed in '/etc/glacier.conf'.

2.3 Packages

+

Everest does not provide many packages. Thus, it is up to the user to package their own software.

3 - Boot process

3.1 Microcode

All users of AMD and Intel CPUs should install their corresponding microcode update package.

2 - Glibc

2.1 Pros

-

Glibc supports most programs on linux, including proprietary ones.

-

2.1 Cons

+

Glibc is the de-facto standard C library in Linux, and as a result supports most programs, including proprietary ones.

+

2.2 Cons

Glibc is very bloated and heavy on resources for what it does.

+

2.3 Who should use Glibc

+

Users who wish to use proprietary programs, play Steam games, or have hardware that is incompatible with musl should use Glibc.

+

2.4 Who shouldn't use Glibc

+

Users running an embedded, or otherwise resource-constrained system should not use Glibc.

+

3 - Changing the C library

+

3.1 Prerequisites

+

Changing the C library on an existing Everest system is known as migrating.

+ WARNING: +
+

Migration requires rebuilding most, if not all of the system. It may also present other issues. Continue at your own risk.

+
+

3.2 Preparations

+

First, change the system profile, corresponding to the C library you are switching to:

+ (root)# glacier-mkprofile -u SYSTEM_PROFILE +

Next, update the local package database:

+ (root)# glacier-update-pkgdb +

Finally, change branches on / and pull in the new files:

+ (user)$ cd / +

+ (root)# git checkout SYSTEM_PROFILE +

+ (root)# git pull +

+ WARNING +
+

Pulling in a new root filesystem requires a substantial amount of time. Ensure your system continuously stays connected to the network and doesn't loose power.

+

Your system may become corrupted if something interrupts this process.
