Roadmap for Carbs

posted on 2020-04-06

-It has been a busy week. 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 There are some outdated posts that -I will be fixing around this week.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 SourceHut?) -

- -

-I feel a little sad for switching, but serving on Github is faster, cheaper, and -hassle-free. -

- -

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. -

- -

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 section. -

- -

-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'. -

- -

Outsources Repository

-I have opened an outsource 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! -

- -

New Tarball

-Finally, I have released a new tarball today, which can be obtained from the -downloads page. -

- -

-I am planning to add more of these update posts as I'm feeling better about the -website structure overall. -
