+Happy new year, everyone! I am back after some long silence. I was unable to commit for a
+while, but I have pulled some new updates from the KISS repository, added some of my own.
+This week I will be changing/adding some things.
+
+Important things are,
+
+* Carbs-init was updated to 0.3.
+* I will be adding an implementation of suckless.org's [sinit](//core.suckless.org/sinit) as `carbs-sinit`
+* Carbs Repository was added to [repology.org](//repology.org/repository/carbs)
+* A new rootfs tarball will be coming up tomorrow.

+**Busybox update reqires manual intervention**
+
+The new busybox package conflicts with the pre-update busybox-init. That's why
+you should rebuild and install `busybox-init` before doing the update.
+
+    # Do a kiss update first (but don't actually update it yet), or manually pull the git repository
+    $ kiss u  # Cancel this operation after it asks for you to confirm the update
+    
+    # Install the busybox-init package
+    $ kiss b busybox-init && kiss i busybox-init
+    
+    # Continue your update as you normally would.
+    $ kiss u
+
+I have moved runit and logging utilities from the busybox-init package to the busybox
+package, which is the cause of these conflicts.

+**IMPORTANT!** Carbs-init update to be released on 17th of February
+will require manual intervention. I am holding this update back so
+people can see it before they update their system (even though the
+update will show the same message as this). The rationale for the
+update is explained below the intervention.
+
+    # There is an explanation for each init
+    # You only need to follow the instructions
+    # for your own init-system
+
+    ## busybox-init
+    # If you did not edit your inittab simply 
+    # move inittab.new to inittab
+    -> mv /etc/inittab.new /etc/inittab
+
+    # If you did edit your inittab you can use
+    # a simple sed command to remove the necessary lines
+    -> sed -i '/getty/d;/runsvdir/d' /etc/inittab
+
+
+    ## runit
+    # same as busybox-init, if you did not edit
+    # /etc/runit/2 move 2.new to 2
+    -> mv /etc/runit/2.new /etc/runit/2
+
+    # else
+    -> vim /etc/runit/2
+    # open your 2 file and remove the for loop containing
+    # getty commands. If you are using runit, it is recommended
+    # to comment out /etc/init/runit.boot
+
+    ## sinit/minit
+    # If you did not edit your {sinit-,}launch-services.boot
+    # you can simply remove it.
+    -> rm -f /etc/init/launch-services.boot /etc/init/sinit-launch-services.boot
+
+    # This should leave you without any issues, and you can safely reboot.
+
+Carbs-init update is to make sure init systems do not clash, and do
+not have to use different files. This is a sensible update both for
+the user user and for the maintainer side. 
+
+To give an example, before this update busybox-init was managing getty
+through `inittab`, runit was managing through `/etc/runit/2`, and
+minit/sinit were launching from `/etc/init/launch-services.boot`. This
+is a configuration nightmare for everyone, and since I am maintaining
+and constantly testing those init providers, a huge nightmare for me. 
+This is a Quality of Life update.

+Carbs Linux is an in-development Linux® distribution with a suckless mindset.
+The system will consist of only the necessary programs to create a Linux
+distribution.
+
+Package Manager
+---------------
+
+Carbs Linux is built upon the world's best Linux distribution 
+[KISS Linux](https://getkiss.org) and uses [kiss](https://github.com/kisslinux/kiss)
+as its package manager, which has proven to be extremely flexible. I aim to move Carbs
+to an even more suckless path.
+
+
+Sane defaults
+-------------
+
+By default, Carbs Linux comes with busybox for coreutils, runit as the system 
+supervisor, and sinit as the init, though nothing holds you from changing any
+of them.
