Manage packages on an Everest Linux system

+-----------------------+
| [?] About Glacier [?] |
+-----------------------+

Glacier's main goal is to combine the power of
source based packaging with the simplicity of
binary based packaging.

Glacier downloads source code from
https://git.everestlinux.org/EverestLinux/glacier-pkgs
and compiles it locally on your system.

+----------------------+
| [!] Dependencies [!] |
+----------------------+

Glacier requires the following programs to function:

	- sh
	- wget/curl (any program that can download files)
	- tar
	- make
	- a c compiler (tested with gcc, although others should work)
	- python (for integrity checking)

+----------------------------+
| [🠗] Installing Glacier [🠗] |
+----------------------------+

Obtain the source code:

	$ git clone https://git.everestlinux.org/EverestLinux/glacier
	$ cd glacier

Copy install.conf.def to install.conf

	$ mv install.conf.def install.conf

Make necessary adjustments to install.conf, then run
build.sh as root.

	# ./build.sh install # for first time installations
	# ./build.sh update # for existing installations

	- 11/3/22 - Changing how packages are uninstalled
	In Glacier's current state, it needs to download the package archive in order to remove it.
	This is highly inefficient and presents its own risks.
	In an upcoming update, the removal script will be retained on the system.
	This method will be space efficient because:
		a) Instruction scripts are mere kilobytes
		b) For larger scripts, you will have the option of compressing them.
	This feature is expected around 3.2.0.
