 	<h2>1 - Introduction</h2>
 	<p>Glacier is the package management system for Glacier. All users should be familiar with how it works.</p>
-	<h2>2 - Terminology</h2>
+	<h2>2 - Package Indexes</h2>
-	<p>In this case, the word 'merge' and 'install' mean the same thing.</p>
+	<p>On an Everest system, packages are stored in an "index", of which there are two, the <i>system</i> index and the <i>user</i> index.</p>
-	<p>A package index is a list of all installed packages on any given Everest system.</p>
+	<p>The system index is located in <cil>/glacier/index</cil>, and the user index is localed in <cil>/usr/glacier/index</cil>.</p>
-	<p>The local index is managed by all users on the system, and is located in /usr/glacier/index.</p>
+	<p>When you merge a package from a repository, <cil>gpkg</cil> will retrieve the file, execute the relevant instruction sets, and store the package in the user index. <cil>syspkg</cil> will operate on the system index instead. On update, <cil>gpkg</cil> will retrieve the package from the user index and execute the relevant instruction sets. The package will then be moved back into the user index. On removal, the package will be moved to <cil>/tmp</cil> oncde the removal instructions have been executed.</p>
-	<p>The global index is managed by Git, and is located in /glacier/index.</p>
+	<h2>3 - Repositories</h2>
-	<p>A system profile describes your base system, including C library, architecture, SELinux support, multilib support, etc.</p>
+	<p>Unlike most distributions, Everest installations include a copy of the package repository on the local system. Rather than downloading packages from a remote server, Glacier clones a package from the local repository.</p>
-	<h2>3 - Included programs</h2>
+	<p>This presents some advantages:</p>
+	<ul>
+		<li><p>Package modifications can be done easily</p></li>
+		<li><p>In the result of connection loss, Glacier can still be used</p></li>
+	</ul>
+	<p>And also some disadvantages:</p>
+	<ul>
+		<li><p>Security risks may surface if the repository is not kept updated or an unauthorized party makes changes to packages</p></li>
+	</ul>
+	<p>The <cil>glacier-update-pkgdb</cil> program can be used to update the local repository. This should be done regularly (at least once a week) to ensure the newest and most secure packages are available.</p>
+	<h2>4 - The System Profile</h2>
+	<p>An Everest installation includes a system profile. In simple terms, this is a series of environment variables and configurations that tell Glacier which packages it can install. The system profile should not change unless the user intends to migrate profiles.</p>
+	<p>The following environment variables are defined by the system profile:</p>
+	<ul>
+		<li><p><cil>GLACIER_REPO</cil> - The repository which will be downloaded by <cil>glacier-update-pkgdb</cil></p></li>
+		<li><p><cil>GLACIER_ARCH</cil> - The CPU's architecture</p></li>
+		<li><p><cil>GLACIER_TARGET</cil> - The compilation triplet</p></li>
+		<li><p><cil>GLACIER_SYSTEM_PROFILE</cil> - The name of the system profile</p></li>
+	</ul>
+	<p>The following system profiles are available:</p>
+	<ul>
+		<li><p><cil>x86_64-musl</cil></p></li>
+	</ul>
+	<p>The following system profiles are planned for the future:</p>
+	<ul>
+		<li><p><cil>x86_64-glibc</cil></p></li>
+		<li><p><cil>x86_64-musl-nomultilib</cil></p></li>

+	<h2>1 - Introduction</h2>
+	<p><cil>libglacier</cil> is the backend library for Glacier. It simplifies many functions and allows users to extend Glacier's functionality.</p>
+	<h2>2 - Installation</h2>
+	<p>In order to install <cil>libglacier</cil>, the following libraries must be installed:</p>
+	<ul>
+		<li><p>libcolor</p></li>
+		<li><p>libconfig</p></li>
+	</ul>
+	<p>Once these libraries are installed, clone the <cil>libglacier</cil> repository:</p>
+	<p><code>$ git clone https://git.everestlinux.org/EverestLinux/libglacier</code></p>
+	<p>Enter the repository and edit the make configuration file:</p>
+	<p><code>$ cd libglacier</code></p>
+	<p><code>$ ${EDITOR} config.mk</code></p>
+	<cautionhead><strong>CAUTION</strong></cautionhead>
+	<div class="caution">
+		<p>Before proceeding with ANY other step, make sure you define <cil-inv>PREFIX</cil-inv> in config.mk.</p>
+		<p>By default this variable is not defined. Results will be unexpected if the library is compiled without <cil-inv>PREFIX</cil-inv> defined.</p>
+	</div>
+	<p>Build the library:</p>
+	<p><code>$ make lib</code></p>
+	<notehead><strong>NOTE</strong></notehead>
+	<div class="note">
+		<p><cil-inv>libglacier</cil-inv> is provided as a static library only.</p>
+		<p>If you wish to compile a shared library instead, you must edit the Makefile</p>
