Carbs Linux - a simple busybox linux distribution

+
+

Apr 10 2020

+ +

IRC channel can now be accessed from #carbslinux at freenode!

+ +

Apr 06 2020

+ +

A new rootfs tarball has been released. See the +downloads page

+ +

Apr 05 2020

+ +

Carbs Linux repositories will be hosted only on Github. Commits will be +pushed there, and not the repository. You have until +May 4, 2020 Monday to switch your remotes to https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository. +The git repository will continue to be served until then (without additional +commits).

+ +

You can switch your remote by executing the following command on your +repository directory.

+ +
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository
+
+ +

Feb 18 2020

+ +

A new tarball is released. It can be found on https://dl.carbslinux.org.

+ +

edit: I have removed the tarball because of a bootstrapping issue. +I will be re-adding it later today.

+ +

edit 2: I have added a tarball (20200219) to reflect my recent +changes on Busybox.

+ +

IMPORTANT! Carbs-init update to be released on 17th of February +will require manual intervention. I am holding this update back so +people can see it before they update their system (even though the +update will show the same message as this). The rationale for the +update is explained below the intervention.

+ +
# There is an explanation for each init
+# You only need to follow the instructions
+# for your own init-system
+
+## busybox-init
+# If you did not edit your inittab simply 
+# move inittab.new to inittab
+-> mv /etc/inittab.new /etc/inittab
+
+# If you did edit your inittab you can use
+# a simple sed command to remove the necessary lines
+-> sed -i '/getty/d;/runsvdir/d' /etc/inittab
+
+
+## runit
+# same as busybox-init, if you did not edit
+# /etc/runit/2 move 2.new to 2
+-> mv /etc/runit/2.new /etc/runit/2
+
+# else
+-> vim /etc/runit/2
+# open your 2 file and remove the for loop containing
+# getty commands. If you are using runit, it is recommended
+# to comment out /etc/init/runit.boot
+
+## sinit/minit
+# If you did not edit your {sinit-,}launch-services.boot
+# you can simply remove it.
+-> rm -f /etc/init/launch-services.boot /etc/init/sinit-launch-services.boot
+
+# This should leave you without any issues, and you can safely reboot.
+
+ +

Carbs-init update is to make sure init systems do not clash, and do +not have to use different files. This is a sensible update both for +the user user and for the maintainer side.

+ +

To give an example, before this update busybox-init was managing getty +through inittab, runit was managing through /etc/runit/2, and +minit/sinit were launching from /etc/init/launch-services.boot. This +is a configuration nightmare for everyone, and since I am maintaining +and constantly testing those init providers, a huge nightmare for me. +This is a Quality of Life update.

+ +

Feb 13 2020

+ +

Runit is now released on the core repository! You can now replace +busybox-init with runit-init. You can also replace the busybox runit +utilities with the actual runit. This will reduce the dependency on +busybox greatly.

+ +

Jan 28 2020

+ +

Web Server is now on a Carbs Linux server. It is not complete yet, +but I will be adding a little more for the intended functionality. +Downtimes can be expected.

+ +

UPDATE: ssl is now working.

+ +

UPDATE2: downloads are back again.

+ +

Jan 22 2020

+ +

Expect downtime on Jan 24 2020 22:00 UTC as I will be migrating +this web server to my Carbs Linux server!

+ +

Jan 15 2020

+ +

sinit has been taken to core, and is now officially supported

+ +

Busybox update reqires manual intervention

+ +

The new busybox package conflicts with the pre-update busybox-init. That’s why +you should rebuild and install busybox-init before doing the update.

+ +
# Do a kiss update first (but don't actually update it yet), or manually pull the git repository
+$ kiss u  # Cancel this operation after it asks for you to confirm the update
+
+# Install the busybox-init package
+$ kiss b busybox-init && kiss i busybox-init
+
+# Continue your update as you normally would.
+$ kiss u
+
+ +

I have moved runit and logging utilities from the busybox-init package to the busybox +package, which is the cause of these conflicts.

+ +

Happy new year, everyone! I am back after some long silence. I was unable to commit for a +while, but I have pulled some new updates from the KISS repository, added some of my own. +This week I will be changing/adding some things.

Important things are,
