+Title: 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.
+
+
+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.

+
+That's about it.
+
+Cheers,
+Cem
