Statically linking the base

+ +

For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to simplify the base and +statically link the core (mostly binaries rather than libraries). I usually see +some people extremely opposed to static linking as I also see the opposite on +people.

+ +

I believe that binaries on the core should always be linked statically. This +ensures that an SONAME bump to libObscure.so will not break the core +functionality of your system, forcing you to use external resources to recover +from such an issue. As long as you can compile, use core utilities, edit text, +and access the web, you can solve any given issue on your system.

+ +

However, I don’t think that removing shared libraries is sensible either. Not +every piece of software out there is good quality enough to be statically +linked.

+ +

Major changes on the core repository

+ +

There have been drastic changes to the core repository and the base rootfs this +month (with more on the way). Right now changes are as follows.

+ +

Removed from Core

+ + + + +

Added to Core

+ + + + +

Statically linked

+ + + + +

Making the wiki available offline

+ +

Soon, all documentation regarding Carbs Linux will be avaialable to be installed +from the core repository in a carbs-docs package along with its own document +crawler. Currently, the documentation regarding the installation process is a +little outdated which will also receive some important updates.

+ +

ISO image for Carbs

+ +

I am thinking of releasing an ISO image in order to provide a standardized +environment for installation along with installation helper tools in the spirit +of arch-install-scripts. Let’s see how that’s going to play out.
