-Switching to New Website
-========================
-
-**Date:** Jan 28 2020
-
-In case you haven't seen it before, this website
-was powered by [werc](http://werc.cat-v.org). And
-even though I liked it really much, it was too
-powerful for a small website like this. 
-
-So I have decided to reimplement this website with 
-my own static generation scripts. The source will
-probably be on <https://carbslinux.org/git/website/log.html>
-when I decide to publish the website.
-
-The generation requires Plan9 programs, although
-I have used them just for my enthusiasm. I have built
-the site with a combination of mk (instead of make), rc, 
-and POSIX sh. I am not yet exactly familiar with rc, 
-but I will replace the shell scripts when I feel like 
-I can.

-Roadmap for Carbs
-=================
-
-It has been a busy week. There are lots of changes in
-direction, and more to come. I want to talk a little
-about all of them.
-
-
-Carbs Linux Server Going Down
------------------------------
-
-It became harder to maintain and pay for the server, and I will be
-shutting it down in May. I am currently in the phase of
-carrying over everything to [Github]. The repository and the
-website is served on Github now. I have also moved the [Wiki]
-to Github and anyone can edit it there. There are some outdated
-posts that I will be fixing around this week.
-
-I am not quite sure where to store the downloads page now. But I
-will be switching that to a new source as well. (Maybe Source Forge?)
-
-I feel a little sad for switching, but serving on Github is faster,
-cheaper, and hassle-free.

-Forking KISS
-------------
-
-I had a personal fork of KISS, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I didn't
-intend to make it the default when I started it, but it has matured
-enough to be so. The package manager can now be found on [this repository].
-See it for the added changes.
-
-This will be a change for the better, as I can develop the package
-manager as it fits my views.
-
-[this repository]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss
-
-
-Small Changes on the Website
-----------------------------
-
-I have made some small changes on the website. The build is not dependent
-on Plan9 utilities anymore. It was fun messing around with `rc` and `mk`,
-but they are quite limited compared to POSIX shell. 
-
-RSS feeds are finally working as intended, both for the [news] section, and
-the [blog] secion.
-
-You can see every page's `.txt` output at the end of the page by clicking
-'View Page Source'. Meanwhile, I will be updating some pages to be a little
-more 'human-readable'.

-Outsources Repository
----------------------
-
-I have opened an `outsource` repository, which I will be pushing this week.
-I will add a new post when I am ready to push it. I think it will be interesting,
-it will also make more sense about the changes I have added to the package
-manager. The now empty repository, can be found [here]!
-
-[here]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/outsource
-
-
-New Tarball
------------
-
-Finally, I have released a new tarball today, which can be obtained from the
-[downloads page].
-
-[downloads page]: https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases
-
-
-I am planning to add more of these update posts as I'm feeling better about
-the website structure overall.

-Outsource Repository Concept
-============================
-
-In April 3rd, I have added submodule support for Carbs
-Linux's fork of `kiss`. Now, from that sentence, it really
-doesn't sound exciting at all. But in reality, it opens a
-path to lots of creative output, and a better way to manage
-multi-user repositories (such as KISS Community).
-
-When managing a repository of submodules, the repository
-maintainer's only job is to deal with adding packages.
-A package maintainer doesn't have to wait for the repository
-maintainer to update their packages, as they are only making
-the changes to their own repositories.
-
-This way, an end-user can also track from their preferred
-maintainers, and do that with the tidyness of a single repository
-in their `KISS_PATH`.
-
-Carbs Linux now has an outsource repository for some packages.
-Firefox and its dependencies have been purged from the main repository,
-but can be found on it.

-The Relation of Carbs and KISS
-==============================
-
-**Date:** May 08 2020
-
-Since I have forked KISS, I have received many questions
-that can be summarized as "Why?". I have realized that I
-never truly answered this question. That's the reason I am
-writing this post, to give some background on Carbs, and
-some differences between KISS Linux and Carbs Linux for
-anyone who may be wondering. Perhaps I could make this a
-"FAQ" page later on.
-
-History
--------
-
-I had the idea of creating my own Linux distribution since
-the May of 2019. Back then, I had my own [Linux from Scratch]
-build, and I wanted to slim it down my own way and replace
-the software (with musl,sbase,etc.). The name Carbs Linux
-was in my mind since then. I wanted to write my own package
-manager, but I wasn't satisfied with anything I had built.
-
-I had written some incomplete package managers (all named `fat`)
-and I quickly threw them into the trash can, where they
-honestly belonged. I would want to share them with you for
-laughs, but my hard-drive got wiped and I have a problem
-of not doing an "initial commit" until a program I write
-is in a usable state.
-
-I have obtained the 'carbslinux.org' domain name in September
-2019, but then life got on the way, and I stopped for a long
-time.
-
-One day on Reddit, I saw Dylan's post on [r/unixporn] about
-KISS, and I really thought that it was interesting. Here is
-my [comment] to Dylan on that post. I checked out the package
-manager and the repository. The packaging system was extremely
-clean and well-thought. I decided to give it a go and fork
-KISS.

-
-
-Differences between KISS and Carbs
-----------------------------------
-
-Now, I still baffle when people ask me this question. My
-intention was never to create a distribution with specific
-differences between KISS. My intention was being my own
-BDFL of a distribution I maintain. There are lots of
-differences between the main repositories, but they are subtle
-and not worth talking about. I personally never even installed
-KISS Linux on my system. So Carbs, isn't something like a
-downstream fork of KISS, it is just a distribution that was
-initially based on KISS.
-
-I try to contribute as much as I can to KISS Linux. I think
-that it is a brilliant distribution, and it was a great starting
-point for Carbs. I am really grateful to Dylan and all the
-other contributors.
-
-
-What I'm working on now
------------------------
-
-Currently I have a few projects that I'm working on for Carbs.
-These are,
-
-A BSD port for Carbs. For a while, I have been working on BSD
-compatibility on my fork of the [package manager]. I have tested,
-without any more issues, on OpenBSD and FreeBSD. The biggest
-issues remaining are choosing a vendor for BSD, packaging the
-BSD source, and providing a minimal base (like busybox for BSD).
-If you aren't familiar with BSD, it has a single source code
-for all of the utilities (kernel, command line programs, etc.).
-Contributions (even chipping in ideas) are very welcome.
-
-Adding binary package distribution support natively to the package
-manager. Biggest issue in small/old computers are compile times.
-This feature is for the bigger packages such as webkit, clang,
-llvm that take a considerable amount of time. Some computers
-with low memories cannot even compile firefox/webkit.
-
-Adding rsync repository support to the package manager. This
-is not a current issue, but rather a futureproofing. As time
-passes, distribution repositories grow larger. KISS and Carbs
-are young distributions without this problem right now. But
-in something like 5 years, this size will presumably increase
-to hundreds of megabytes. At that point it will be pointless
-to have the repository sources unless you specifically need them.
-
-
-[package manager]: https://github.com/carbslinux/kiss
-
-
-What's up with all the init/service daemons?
---------------------------------------------
-
-If you have ever checked the [repository], you may have noticed
-that there are lots of init/service related packages. I have had
-my fair share of time with all of them, and it is an area that I
-am really interested in. I have even written my own [init daemon]
-and [service supervisor]. I maintain all those packages on KISS
-Community Repository as well with the exception of busybox. Those
-are, `busybox init/runit`, `runit`, `sinit`, and `sysmgr`. I would
-definitely recommend checking out `shinit` and `sysmgr`.
-
-[repository]:         https://github.com/carbslinux/repository
-[init daemon]:        https://github.com/cemkeylan/shinit
-[service supervisor]: https://github.com/cemkeylan/sysmgr
-
-
-Why I don't publicize Carbs
----------------------------
-
-There are a couple of reasons I don't publicize Carbs a lot.
-
-KISS is the better alternative in terms of support and community.
-I work on maintaining this distribution just as hard as Dylan,
-but in the end, Carbs is based on his original hard work, and I
-believe that he deserves the recognition more than I do.
-
-Since I cannot answer questions like "What is the difference?", I
-prefer staying as the silent sibling project of KISS Linux. Plus,
-there is no point in dividing the newly-emerging community in half.
-
-That's not because I don't have ideas for the future of Carbs, I
-do. I just think that I will deserve the recognition once those
-above lists are checked.
-
-
-I think that's about it, if you have questions you can send me a
-mail, ping me on IRC (my handle is `merakor`), and I will be happy
-to answer. Maybe your question fits this post, and I can update it
-to thoroughly give an explanation.
-
-Cheers,
-Cem

-kiss 2.0.0 and overall changes
-====================================================================
-
-Carbs Linux kiss version 2.0.0 has been released which introduces
-rsync repositories.
-
-Git is no longer a mandatory dependency for the package manager,
-every git source on the core repository has been replaced with
-https sources (sbase, sinit), and rootfs tarballs will no longer
-ship with git. Repositories in the upcoming tarball will be rsync
-repositories.
-
-Git is now on the `extra` repository and is still (optionally)
-used in the package manager.
-
-The idea behind this change is size reductions and increased
-speed with rsync. As I said on the previous post, git repositories
-get larger and larger over the time span. Currently my personal
-copy of the git repository is around 77MB and I have forked KISS
-Linux (as a shallow copy) around December. Obviously, I have commits
-that I ommitted. I tend to create commits I dislike, which I change
-with 'git reset --soft HEAD^', which doesn't actually remove the
-commits, etc. A user will have a repository much smaller than mine.
-
-This is a precaution with the added bonuses of speed and dropping a
-mandatory dependency.
-
-You can see the rest of the changelog [here].
-
-[here]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
-
-
-Binary Repositories
--------------------
-
-A few days ago, I have also published [kiss-bin], a first version
-for managing binary repositories. Currently, there are some caveats
-that I'll be fixing along the way. I decided not to include this
-in the package manager natively as managing the source based and
-binary based packages together adds levels of complexity that we
-do not want. Instead, this is an extension for kiss which sources
-the package manager as a library. I hope to see it being adopted
-by others interested on the matter as well.
-
-
-[kiss-bin]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss-bin

-That's about it.

-June Newspost
-================================================================================
-
-This will be an active month for Carbs as major changes to the base and the
-package manager will be coming up.
-
-
-Statically linking the base
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to simplify the base and
-statically link the core (mostly binaries rather than libraries). I usually see
-some people extremely opposed to static linking as I also see the opposite on
-people.
-
-I believe that binaries on the core should always be linked statically. This
-ensures that an SONAME bump to `libObscure.so` will not break the core
-functionality of your system, forcing you to use external resources to recover
-from such an issue. As long as you can compile, use core utilities, edit text,
-and access the web, you can solve any given issue on your system.
-
-However, I don't think that removing shared libraries is sensible either. Not
-every piece of software out there is good quality enough to be statically
-linked.
-
-
-Major changes on the core repository
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-There have been drastic changes to the core repository and the base rootfs this
-month (with more on the way). Right now changes are as follows.
-
-### Removed from Core
-- `git`
-- `libressl`
-- `grub`
-- `bison`
-- `dhcpcd`
-- `ubase`
-
-### Added to Core
-- `bearssl`, as a `libressl` replacement
-- `byacc`, as a `bison` replacement
-
-### Statically linked
-- `kiss`
-- `neatvi`
-- `mandoc`
-- `byacc`
-- `m4`
-- `e2fsprogs`
-- `make`
-- `pkgconf`
-- `sbase`
-- `libnl`
-- `wpa_supplicant`
-- `bearssl`
-
-
-Making the wiki available offline
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Soon, all documentation regarding Carbs Linux will be avaialable to be installed
-from the core repository in a `carbs-docs` package along with its own document
-crawler. Currently, the documentation regarding the installation process is a
-little outdated which will also receive some important updates.
-
-
-ISO image for Carbs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-I am thinking of releasing an ISO image in order to provide a standardized
-environment for installation along with installation helper tools in the spirit
-of `arch-install-scripts`. Let's see how that's going to play out.

-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!

-First Year of Carbs Linux
-================================================================================
-
-December 10, 2020 marks the first year after the initial release of Carbs
-Linux. When I forked the KISS Linux repository on the 9th of December, I was
-fairly new to package management. Carbs Linux used to be almost identical to
-KISS Linux. A lot has changed since then:
-
-- [2020 Jan 13] Replaced default init system to `sinit`
-- [2020 Jan 15] Packaged `WebKit2GTK`
-- [2020 May 17] Added `bearssl` on the testing repository
-- [2020 May 28] Added `rsync` repository support to kiss
-- [2020 Jun 03] Replaced `bison` with `byacc`
-- [2020 Jun 11] Replaced `libressl` with `bearssl`
-- [2020 Jun 24] Replaced `kiss` with `cpt`
-
-I have really enjoyed maintaining and developing this distribution, and I want
-to thank everyone who was involved in some way or another. While I have slowed
-down in development due to college workload, I am still actively maintaining all
-the packages on the repository. I do have some ideas that I am thinking of
-implementing during the semester break. Hope to see you all in January.
