| − | ===What is moonbase?===
| + | |
| − | The moonbase is the complete collection of all the software packages ([[module]]s) that [[Lunar Linux]] offers its users. It is organized in a hierarchical structure of directories and files; usually found on the user's system at <code>/var/lib/lunar/moonbase</code>. Generically speaking, the moonbase is just a directory with stuff (sub-directories and files) inside it.

| − | ===Sections===
| + | |
| − | The moonbase's first level of structure/organization is a [[section]]. A section is a name that serves to classify and organize a group of [[module]]s into logical partitions. Each [[section]] is simply a sub-directory that resides right below the root of the [[moonbase]] or inside another section. Sections can also be nested in other sections.

| − | ===Modules===
| + | |
| − | [[Modules]] sit in a [[section]] directory. A module consists of a directory with specific files and other directories, that are not sections. These sub-directories represent a single module that "belongs" to that section of the moonbase. A module, to be a bit simplistic, is a set of "instructions" to perform a task; Namely, instructions to compile and then install what was compiled onto the user's file-system. So if we had a [[module]] named FooGame that was located in the "games" section of the [[moonbase]], we would find a directory called FooGame at <code>/var/lib/lunar/moonbase/games/FooGame</code>.

| − | To summarize, installable software packages are called modules. The collection of all of the modules is called the moonbase, which is simply a directory containing logical sections (sub-directories) which, in turn, contain the modules directories.
