+<p>Carbs Linux is an in-development Linux® distribution with a suckless mindset.
+The system will consist of only the necessary programs to create a Linux
+distribution.</p>
+
+<h2>Package Manager</h2>
+
+<p>Carbs Linux is built upon the world&rsquo;s best Linux distribution
+<a href="https://getkiss.org">KISS Linux</a> and uses <a href="https://github.com/kisslinux/kiss">kiss</a>
+as its package manager, which has proven to be extremely flexible. 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>

+<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
+-&gt; mv /etc/inittab.new /etc/inittab
+
+# If you did edit your inittab you can use
+# a simple sed command to remove the necessary lines
+-&gt; 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
+-&gt; mv /etc/runit/2.new /etc/runit/2
+
+# else
+-&gt; 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.
+-&gt; 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&rsquo;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 &amp;&amp; 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>
