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 +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: carbs-linux-server-going-down +:END: + +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 [[https://github.com/CarbsLinux][Github]]. +The repository and the website is served on Github now. I have also moved the +[[https://github.com/CarbsLinux/wiki/wiki][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 There are some outdated posts that +I will be fixing around this week.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 SourceHut?) + +I feel a little sad for switching, but serving on Github is faster, cheaper, and +hassle-free. + +** Forking KISS +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: forking-kiss +:END: + +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 [[https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss][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. + +** Small Changes on the Website +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: small-changes-on-the-website +:END: + +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 [[https://carbslinux.org/news.xml][news]] section, and the +[[https://carbslinux.org/rss.xml][blog]] section. + +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 +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: outsources-repository +:END: + +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 [[https://github.com/CarbsLinux/outsource][here]]! + +** New Tarball +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: new-tarball +:END: + +Finally, I have released a new tarball today, which can be obtained from the +[[https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases][downloads page]]. + +I am planning to add more of these update posts as I'm feeling better about the +website structure overall. |
