Nonetheless, there are some important changes that I -want to share in this month's post. - -INDEX --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- [Carbs Packaging Tools](#carbs-packaging-tools) -- [Docs](#docs) -- [Re-opening the Carbs Linux server](#re-opening-the-carbs-linux-server) - - -Carbs Packaging Tools --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -This month I have reworked `kiss` into a new package manager, now renamed as -`cpt`. Updating `kiss` will now bootstrap the new package manager, so you don't -have to manually edit your system. If you don't like the idea of this, you can -look up the `post-install` script on `core/kiss` and apply the changes manually. - -You will also need to rename your KISS_* variables to CPT_*. So, KISS_PATH -becomes CPT_PATH. - -The rework changes the previous commands on the package manager into standalone -tools, and move the package manager functions to a library. This makes it easier -for a user to import functions and variables from the package manager, and -extend the package manager with their own intended way. Previously this required -ugly hacks and workarounds to use the package manager functions. I will be -making use of these changes to re-implement binary package management functions -as well. - -If you want to use the library on your script you can simply do this: - - +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ - | | - | #!/bin/sh | - | . cpt-lib | - | (...) | - | | - +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ - -There are obviously some clean-up and simplifications needed in this new -tool-based package management method. - - -Docs --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -I have added documentation for the distribution, and finally updated the guide -for installation. It is now _almost_ complete. These docs can be installed to -your system for online viewing. I will also add a documentation crawler similar -to how werc[^1] works (but as an offline viewer). You can find `carbs-docs` from -the repository. Currently, the documentation lacks but I will be adding new -stuff. These will solely be distribution specific documentation and will not be -a wiki-like source. If anyone would like to contribute to a wiki-like -documentation source, I would happily re-open the distribution wiki. You can -find the source on https://github.com/CarbsLinux/docs - - -Re-opening the Carbs Linux server --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Back in May, I had shutdown the Carbs Linux server due to financial issues, but -I am slowly reverting to the self-hosted model. Back then, the git repositories -were mirrored to GitHub, and the management was overall much more flexible. The -server used to run Carbs Linux as well (that was fun and horrifying at the same -time). Now, I will be relaunching the git server which will be the upstream -source before August 5. You can switch your remote, but GitHub will stay as a -remote nonetheless. - -EDIT: The git-server is up! - - -[^1]: http://werc.cat-v.org |
