Cpak – OCI application package format for Linux desktops, servers and devices
Cpak is a new OCI-based application package format designed for Linux systems, offering features like clear manifests, layer caching, and incremental builds without a container daemon. It aims to provide a decentralized software distribution method that allows users to inspect commands and manage resource access.
