I aim to move Carbs +to an even more suckless path.</p> + +<h2>Sane defaults</h2> + +<p>By default, Carbs Linux comes with busybox for coreutils, runit as the system +supervisor, and sinit as the init, though nothing holds you from changing any +of them.</p> + +<h2>Links</h2> + +<ul> +<li>Reddit - <a href="http://reddit.com/r/carbslinux">/r/carbslinux</a></li> +<li>Matrix - <a href="https://matrix.to/#/#carbs-linux:matrix.org">#carbs-linux:matrix.org</a></li> +</ul> + + +<h2>News</h2> + +<p><a href="/news.xml">RSS Feed</a></p> + +<h3>Apr 05 2020</h3> + +<p>Carbs Linux repositories will be hosted only on Github. Commits will be +pushed there, and not the repository. You have until +May 4, 2020 Monday to switch your remotes to <a href="https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository">https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository</a>. +The git repository will continue to be served until then (without additional +commits).</p> + +<p>You can switch your remote by executing the following command on your +repository directory.</p> + +<pre><code>git remote set-url origin https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository +</code></pre> + +<h3>Feb 18 2020</h3> + +<p>A new tarball is released. It can be found on <a href="https://dl.carbslinux.org">https://dl.carbslinux.org</a>.</p> + +<p><strong>edit:</strong> I have removed the tarball because of a bootstrapping issue. +I will be re-adding it later today.</p> + +<p><strong>edit 2:</strong> I have added a tarball (20200219) to reflect my recent +changes on Busybox.</p> + +<h3>Feb 14 2020</h3> + +<p><strong>IMPORTANT!</strong> 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.</p> + +<pre><code># 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. +</code></pre> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>To give an example, before this update busybox-init was managing getty +through <code>inittab</code>, runit was managing through <code>/etc/runit/2</code>, and +minit/sinit were launching from <code>/etc/init/launch-services.boot</code>. 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.</p> + +<h3>Feb 13 2020</h3> + +<p>Runit is now released on the core repository! You can now replace +busybox-init with runit-init. You can also replace the busybox runit +utilities with the actual runit. This will reduce the dependency on +busybox greatly.</p> + +<h3>Jan 28 2020</h3> + +<p>Web Server is now on a Carbs Linux server. It is not complete yet, +but I will be adding a little more for the intended functionality. +Downtimes can be expected.</p> + +<p>UPDATE: ssl is now working.</p> + +<p>UPDATE2: downloads are back again.</p> + +<h3>Jan 22 2020</h3> + +<p>Expect downtime on Jan 24 2020 22:00 UTC as I will be migrating +this web server to my Carbs Linux server!</p> + +<h3>Jan 15 2020</h3> + +<p>sinit has been taken to <code>core</code>, and is now officially supported</p> + +<h3>Jan 13 2020</h3> + +<p><strong>Busybox update reqires manual intervention</strong></p> + +<p>The new busybox package conflicts with the pre-update busybox-init. That’s why +you should rebuild and install <code>busybox-init</code> before doing the update.</p> + +<pre><code># 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 +</code></pre> + +<p>I have moved runit and logging utilities from the busybox-init package to the busybox +package, which is the cause of these conflicts.</p> + +<h3>Jan 10 2020</h3> + +<p>carbs-rootfs-20200110.tar.xz was <a href="//dl.carbslinux.org/releases">released</a></p> + +<h3>Jan 09 2020</h3> + +<p>Happy new year, everyone!
