-#  - Accepted protocols for remote repositories: ftp, http or https.
-#  - Repositories are added in the order in which are specified (top->bottom).

-## VIRTUAL PACKAGES
-#
-# Virtual package overrides. You can set your own list of preferred virtual
-# packages in your system. This expects two arguments separated by a colon:
-#  <vpkgver>:<realpkgname>.
-#
-# - <vpkgver> means "virtual package name" and "version/revision"
-#   separated by a dash, i.e 'foo-1.0_1".
-# - <realpkgname> means a real package name (without any version).
-#
-# By default we prefer the `dcron` package as default cron daemon.
-#virtualpkg=cron-daemon-0_1:dcron
-
-# Sets the virtual package directory looking for .vpkg files with
-# virtual package settings (by using the `virtualpkg' keyword).
-#
-# If starts with / it's an absolute path, otherwise it's relative to rootdir.
-# By default it's set to <rootdir>/etc/xbps/virtualpkg.d.
-#virtualpkgdir=etc/xbps/virtualpkg.d
-
-# You can also include additional files by using the "include" keyword.
-# This expects an absolute path to a file.
-#include=/path/to/another/file.conf
-#
-# Alternative repos
-include=/etc/xbps/repos/alternative.conf
-
-# Local repos
-include=/etc/xbps/repos/local.conf
-
-# Remote repos
-include=/etc/xbps/repos/remote.conf
