Nonetheless, there are some important changes that I +want to share in this month&rsquo;s post.</p> + +<h2>INDEX</h2> + +<ul> +<li>Carbs Packaging Tools [1.0]</li> +<li>Docs [2.0]</li> +<li>Re-opening the Carbs Linux server [3.0]</li> +</ul> + + +<h2>[1.0] Carbs Packaging Tools</h2> + +<p>This month I have reworked <code>kiss</code> into a new package manager, now renamed as +<code>cpt</code>. Updating <code>kiss</code> will now bootstrap the new package manager, so you don&rsquo;t +have to manually edit your system. If you don&rsquo;t like the idea of this, you can +look up the <code>post-install</code> script on <code>core/kiss</code> and apply the changes manually.</p> + +<p>You will also need to rename your KISS<em>* variables to CPT</em>*. So, KISS_PATH +becomes CPT_PATH.</p> + +<p>The rework changes the previous commands on the package manager into standalone +tools, and move the package manager functions to a library. This makes it easier +for a user to import functions and variables from the package manager, and +extend the package manager with their own intended way. Previously this required +ugly hacks and workarounds to use the package manager functions. I will be +making use of these changes to re-implement binary package management functions +as well.</p> + +<p>If you want to use the library on your script you can simply do this:</p> + +<p> +&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&ndash;+ + | | + | #!/bin/sh | + | . cpt-lib | + | (&hellip;) | + | | + +&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&ndash;+</p> + +<p>There are obviously some clean-up and simplifications needed in this new +tool-based package management method.</p> + +<h2>[2.0] Docs</h2> + +<p>I have added documentation for the distribution, and finally updated the guide +for installation. It is now <em>almost</em> complete. These docs can be installed to +your system for online viewing. I will also add a documentation crawler similar +to how werc<a href="http://werc.cat-v.org">1</a> works (but as an offline viewer). You can find <code>carbs-docs</code> from +the repository. Currently, the documentation lacks but I will be adding new +stuff. These will solely be distribution specific documentation and will not be +a wiki-like source. If anyone would like to contribute to a wiki-like +documentation source, I would happily re-open the distribution wiki. You can +find the source on https://github.com/CarbsLinux/docs</p> + +<h2>[3.0] Re-opening the Carbs Linux server</h2> + +<p>Back in May, I had shutdown the Carbs Linux server due to financial issues, but +I am slowly reverting to the self-hosted model. Back then, the git repositories +were mirrored to GitHub, and the management was overall much more flexible. The +server used to run Carbs Linux as well (that was fun and horrifying at the same +time). Now, I will be relaunching the git server which will be the upstream +source before the August 5. You can switch your remote, but GitHub will stay as +a remote nonetheless.</p> + June Newspost Wed, 17 Jun 2020 -- cgit v1.2.3
