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. + + +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 diff --git a/src/blog/index.md b/src/blog/index.md index 49fa3ca..2dda301 100644 --- a/src/blog/index.md +++ b/src/blog/index.md @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ here.
