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. - -You can see the rest of the changelog [here]. - -[here]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md - - -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. - - -[kiss-bin]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss-bin - -That's about it. - -Cheers, -Cem |
