Commits will be pushed there, and not the repository. You have until May 4, 2020 Monday to switch your remotes to . 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 . **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. Feb 14 2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **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 Jan 13 2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **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.
