Carbs Linux - a simple busybox linux distribution

+
+

Carbs Linux kiss version 2.0.0 has been released which introduces +rsync repositories.

+ +

Git is no longer a mandatory dependency for the package manager, +every git source on the core repository has been replaced with +https sources (sbase, sinit), and rootfs tarballs will no longer +ship with git. 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.

+ +

That’s about it.

+ +

Cheers, +Cem
