-August 2020 News Post
-================================================================================
-
-We are having some stalls during this summer, as I am currently working on
-university-related stuff. Nonetheless, there are some important changes that I
-want to share in this month's post.

-Carbs Packaging Tools
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This month I have reworked `kiss` into a new package manager, now renamed as
-`cpt`. Updating `kiss` will now bootstrap the new package manager, so you don't
-have to manually edit your system. If you don't like the idea of this, you can
-look up the `post-install` script on `core/kiss` and apply the changes manually.
-
-You will also need to rename your KISS_* variables to CPT_*. So, KISS_PATH
-becomes CPT_PATH.
-
-The rework changes the previous commands on the package manager into standalone
-tools, and move the package manager functions to a library. This makes it easier
-for a user to import functions and variables from the package manager, and
-extend the package manager with their own intended way. Previously this required
-ugly hacks and workarounds to use the package manager functions. I will be
-making use of these changes to re-implement binary package management functions
-as well.
-
-If you want to use the library on your script you can simply do this:
-
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | |
- | #!/bin/sh |
- | . cpt-lib |
- | (...) |
- | |
- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-There are obviously some clean-up and simplifications needed in this new
-tool-based package management method.
-
-
-Docs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-I have added documentation for the distribution, and finally updated the guide
-for installation. It is now _almost_ complete. These docs can be installed to
-your system for online viewing. I will also add a documentation crawler similar
-to how werc[^1] works (but as an offline viewer). You can find `carbs-docs` from
-the repository. Currently, the documentation lacks but I will be adding new
-stuff. These will solely be distribution specific documentation and will not be
-a wiki-like source. If anyone would like to contribute to a wiki-like
-documentation source, I would happily re-open the distribution wiki. You can
-find the source on https://github.com/CarbsLinux/docs
-
-
-Re-opening the Carbs Linux server
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Back in May, I had shutdown the Carbs Linux server due to financial issues, but
-I am slowly reverting to the self-hosted model. Back then, the git repositories
-were mirrored to GitHub, and the management was overall much more flexible. The
-server used to run Carbs Linux as well (that was fun and horrifying at the same
-time). Now, I will be relaunching the git server which will be the upstream
-source before August 5. You can switch your remote, but GitHub will stay as a
-remote nonetheless.
-
-EDIT: The git-server is up!
