Nonetheless, there are some important changes that I -want to share in this month's post. - -#+TOC: headlines 1 local - -** Carbs Packaging Tools -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: carbs-packaging-tools -:END: - -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: - -#+BEGIN_SRC sh -#!/bin/sh -. cpt-lib -(...) -#+END_SRC - -There are obviously some clean-up and simplifications needed in this new -tool-based package management method. - -** Docs -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: docs -:END: - -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 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 -:PROPERTIES: -:CUSTOM_ID: re-opening-the-carbs-linux-server -:END: - -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! |
