kiss 2.0.0 and Overall Changes

posted on 2020-05-28

+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.

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.
