It has been a busy week. There are lots of changes in direction, and more to come. I want to talk a little about all of them. Carbs Linux Server Going Down ----------------------------- It became harder to maintain and pay for the server, and I will be shutting it down in May. I am currently in the phase of carrying over everything to [Github]. The repository and the website is served on Github now. I have also moved the [Wiki] to Github and anyone can edit it there. There are some outdated posts that I will be fixing around this week. I am not quite sure where to store the downloads page now. But I will be switching that to a new source as well. (Maybe Source Forge?) I feel a little sad for switching, but serving on Github is faster, cheaper, and hassle-free. [Github]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux [Wiki]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/wiki/wiki Forking KISS ------------ I had a personal fork of KISS, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I didn't intend to make it the default when I started it, but it has matured enough to be so. The package manager can now be found on [this repository]. See it for the added changes. This will be a change for the better, as I can develop the package manager as it fits my views. [this repository]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss Small Changes on the Website ---------------------------- I have made some small changes on the website. The build is not dependent on Plan9 utilities anymore. It was fun messing around with `rc` and `mk`, but they are quite limited compared to POSIX shell. RSS feeds are finally working as intended, both for the [news] section, and the [blog] secion. You can see every page's `.txt` output at the end of the page by clicking 'View Page Source'. Meanwhile, I will be updating some pages to be a little more 'human-readable'. [news]: https://carbslinux.org/news.xml [blog]: https://carbslinux.org/rss.xml Outsources Repository --------------------- I have opened an `outsource` repository, which I will be pushing this week. I will add a new post when I am ready to push it. I think it will be interesting, it will also make more sense about the changes I have added to the package manager. The now empty repository, can be found [here]! [here]: https://github.com/CarbsLinux/outsource New Tarball ----------- Finally, I have released a new tarball today, which can be obtained from the [downloads page]. [downloads page]: https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases I am planning to add more of these update posts as I'm feeling better about the website structure overall. \- Cem
