Repositories in the upcoming tarball will be rsync +repositories.</p> + +<p>Git is now on the <code>extra</code> repository and is still (optionally) +used in the package manager.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>This is a precaution with the added bonuses of speed and dropping a +mandatory dependency.</p> + +<h2>Binary Repositories</h2> + +<p>A few days ago, I have also published <a href="https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss-bin">kiss-bin</a>, 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.</p> + +<p>That’s about it.</p> + +<p>Cheers, +Cem</p> +<a href="/blog/20200528.txt">View Page Source</a><div class=border></div> +<p class=footer>Linux® is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds</p> +<p class=footer>Copyright © 2019-2020 Cem Keylan</p> +</body> +</html> |
