It has been a rather quiet month, mostly dedicated to fixing +some small bugs and working on some features. + +#+TOC: headlines 1 local + +** Fossil support and new repository backend +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: fossil-support +:END: + +In the [[{{< relref "20210415.org#fossil" >}}][previous news post]] I mentioned adding fossil support to the package +manager. Fossil support is now merged to the trunk branch of the package +manager, and I have completely rewritten the repository backend which has +better performance and is easier to extend. There are still some changes to +make, but the feature will be added in the =6.1.0= release. + +** Moving IRC channel +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: moving-irc-channel +:END: + +After the recent controversies surrounding Freenode, we have also switched to +the new Libera IRC network. Since our previous logger =globbot= is also shutting +down, I have set up an IRC logger powered by [[https://git.causal.agency/litterbox][litterbox]]. The IRC logs can be +found on [[https://irclogs.carbslinux.org]]. The website includes both a searchable +web interface, and plaintext dumps of daily logs. Even though the channel is +low-volume, I think logging it is extremely important. + +** New i686 release +:PROPERTIES: +:CUSTOM_ID: new-i686-release +:END: + +I have decided to make an i686 release last week because it was really outdated, +but it will likely be the last one depending on its use on the few following +months. If you are interested in keeping support for the architecture, feel free +to join the IRC channel to let me know. Maintaining i686 isn't really much of a +burdon on me, but there is no point in maintaining an architecture that isn't +used by anyone. + +Compared to the last month, there aren't much news, and there have been other +things that I needed to attend to. I started writing this post on the 13th, and +only had the time to finish it now! + +See you on the next post! -- cgit v1.2.3
