+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 [[https://core.suckless.org/sinit][sinit]] as =carbs-sinit=
+- Carbs Repository was added to [[https://repology.org/repository/carbs][repology.org]]
+- 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.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+# 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
+
+#+END_SRC
+
+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.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+# 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.
+#+END_SRC
+
+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.
