-June Newspost
-================================================================================
-
-This will be an active month for Carbs as major changes to the base and the
-package manager will be coming up.
-
-
-Statically linking the base
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to simplify the base and
-statically link the core (mostly binaries rather than libraries). I usually see
-some people extremely opposed to static linking as I also see the opposite on
-people.
-
-I believe that binaries on the core should always be linked statically. This
-ensures that an SONAME bump to `libObscure.so` will not break the core
-functionality of your system, forcing you to use external resources to recover
-from such an issue. As long as you can compile, use core utilities, edit text,
-and access the web, you can solve any given issue on your system.
-
-However, I don't think that removing shared libraries is sensible either. Not
-every piece of software out there is good quality enough to be statically
-linked.
-
-
-Major changes on the core repository
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-There have been drastic changes to the core repository and the base rootfs this
-month (with more on the way). Right now changes are as follows.
-
-### Removed from Core
-- `git`
-- `libressl`
-- `grub`
-- `bison`
-- `dhcpcd`
-- `ubase`
-
-### Added to Core
-- `bearssl`, as a `libressl` replacement
-- `byacc`, as a `bison` replacement
-
-### Statically linked
-- `kiss`
-- `neatvi`
-- `mandoc`
-- `byacc`
-- `m4`
-- `e2fsprogs`
-- `make`
-- `pkgconf`
-- `sbase`
-- `libnl`
-- `wpa_supplicant`
-- `bearssl`
-
-
-Making the wiki available offline
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Soon, all documentation regarding Carbs Linux will be avaialable to be installed
-from the core repository in a `carbs-docs` package along with its own document
-crawler. Currently, the documentation regarding the installation process is a
-little outdated which will also receive some important updates.
-
-
-ISO image for Carbs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-I am thinking of releasing an ISO image in order to provide a standardized
-environment for installation along with installation helper tools in the spirit
-of `arch-install-scripts`. Let's see how that's going to play out.
