There are lots of changes in +direction, and more to come. I want to talk a little +about all of them. + + +Carbs Linux Server Going Down +----------------------------- + +It became harder to maintain and pay for the server, and I will be +shutting it down in May. I am currently in the phase of +carrying over everything to [Github]. The repository and the +website is served on Github now. I have also moved the [Wiki] +to Github and anyone can edit it there. There are some outdated +posts that I will be fixing around this week. + +I am not quite sure where to store the downloads page now. But I +will be switching that to a new source as well. (Maybe Source Forge?) + +I feel a little sad for switching, but serving on Github is faster, +cheaper, and hassle-free. + +[Github]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux +[Wiki]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/wiki/wiki + + +Forking KISS +------------ + +I had a personal fork of KISS, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I didn't +intend to make it the default when I started it, but it has matured +enough to be so. The package manager can now be found on [this repository]. +See it for the added changes. + +This will be a change for the better, as I can develop the package +manager as it fits my views. + +[this repository]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss + + +Small Changes on the Website +---------------------------- + +I have made some small changes on the website. The build is not dependent +on Plan9 utilities anymore. It was fun messing around with `rc` and `mk`, +but they are quite limited compared to POSIX shell. + +RSS feeds are finally working as intended, both for the [news] section, and +the [blog] secion. + +You can see every page's `.txt` output at the end of the page by clicking +'View Page Source'. Meanwhile, I will be updating some pages to be a little +more 'human-readable'. + +[news]: https://carbslinux.org/news.xml +[blog]: https://carbslinux.org/rss.xml + + +Outsources Repository +--------------------- + +I have opened an `outsources` repository, which I will be pushing this week. +I will add a new post when I am ready to push it. I think it will be interesting, +it will also make more sense about the changes I have added to the package +manager. The now empty repository, can be found [here]! + +[here]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/outsources + + +I am planning to add more of these update posts as I'm feeling better about +the website structure overall. + +\- Cem |
