#+TITLE: May 2021 News Post
#+DATE: <2021-05-25 Tue>
#+AUTHOR: Cem Keylan
Welcome to May! It has been a rather quiet month, mostly dedicated to fixing
some small bugs and working on some features.
#+TOC: headlines 1 local
** Fossil support and new repository backend
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: fossil-support
:END:
In the [[file:20210415.org::#fossil][previous news post]] I mentioned adding fossil support to the package
manager. Fossil support is now merged to the trunk branch of the package
manager, and I have completely rewritten the repository backend which has
better performance and is easier to extend. There are still some changes to
make, but the feature will be added in the =6.1.0= release.
** Moving IRC channel
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: moving-irc-channel
:END:
After the recent controversies surrounding Freenode, we have also switched to
the new Libera IRC network. Since our previous logger =globbot= is also shutting
down, I have set up an IRC logger powered by [[https://git.causal.agency/litterbox][litterbox]]. The IRC logs can be
found on [[https://irclogs.carbslinux.org]]. The website includes both a searchable
web interface, and plaintext dumps of daily logs. Even though the channel is
low-volume, I think logging it is extremely important.
** New i686 release
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: new-i686-release
:END:
I have decided to make an i686 release last week because it was really outdated,
but it will likely be the last one depending on its use on the few following
months. If you are interested in keeping support for the architecture, feel free
to join the IRC channel to let me know. Maintaining i686 isn't really much of a
burdon on me, but there is no point in maintaining an architecture that isn't
used by anyone.
Compared to the last month, there aren't much news, and there have been other
things that I needed to attend to. I started writing this post on the 13th, and
only had the time to finish it now!
See you on the next post!
