 6// Optionally set installroot.
 7//
 8// Installroot is set to '/' when we're working with the system, but we can set
 9// it to a different location. The Base instance will then work with the
10// installroot directory tree as its root for the rest of its lifetime.
11base.get_config().get_installroot_option().set(installroot);

13// Optionally - Prevent loading libdnf5 plugins.
14// Plugins are loaded by default from the host

17// Optionally load configuration from the config files.

19// The Base's config is initialized with default values, one of which is
20// "config_file_path". This contains the default path to the config file
21// ("/etc/dnf/dnf.conf"). If the file does not exist the distribution config file
22// is loaded. Function also loads configuration files from distribution and
23// user ("/etc/dnf/libdnf5.conf.d") drop-in directories.
24// Optionally set a custom value to "config_file_path" before calling this method
25// to load configuration from a another configuration file.
26base.load_config();

28// Load vars and do other initialization (of libsolv pool, etc.) based on the
29// configuration.  Locks the installroot and varsdir configuration values so
30// that they can't be changed.
