<description>&lt;p&gt;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 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository&quot;&gt;https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository&lt;/a&gt;.
The git repository will continue to be served until then (without additional
commits).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can switch your remote by executing the following command on your
repository directory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;git remote set-url origin https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;A new tarball is released. It can be found on &lt;a href=&quot;https://dl.carbslinux.org&quot;&gt;https://dl.carbslinux.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;edit:&lt;/strong&gt; I have removed the tarball because of a bootstrapping issue.
I will be re-adding it later today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;edit 2:&lt;/strong&gt; I have added a tarball (20200219) to reflect my recent
changes on Busybox.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMPORTANT!&lt;/strong&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# 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
-&amp;gt; mv /etc/inittab.new /etc/inittab

# If you did edit your inittab you can use
# a simple sed command to remove the necessary lines
-&amp;gt; sed -i &apos;/getty/d;/runsvdir/d&apos; /etc/inittab


## runit
# same as busybox-init, if you did not edit
# /etc/runit/2 move 2.new to 2
-&amp;gt; mv /etc/runit/2.new /etc/runit/2

# else
-&amp;gt; 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.
-&amp;gt; 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.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To give an example, before this update busybox-init was managing getty
through &lt;code&gt;inittab&lt;/code&gt;, runit was managing through &lt;code&gt;/etc/runit/2&lt;/code&gt;, and
minit/sinit were launching from &lt;code&gt;/etc/init/launch-services.boot&lt;/code&gt;. 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.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Busybox update reqires manual intervention&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new busybox package conflicts with the pre-update busybox-init. That&amp;rsquo;s why
you should rebuild and install &lt;code&gt;busybox-init&lt;/code&gt; before doing the update.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# Do a kiss update first (but don&apos;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 &amp;amp;&amp;amp; kiss i busybox-init

# Continue your update as you normally would.
$ kiss u
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have moved runit and logging utilities from the busybox-init package to the busybox
package, which is the cause of these conflicts.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Important things are,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Carbs-init was updated to 0.3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I will be adding an implementation of suckless.org&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href=&quot;//core.suckless.org/sinit&quot;&gt;sinit&lt;/a&gt; as &lt;code&gt;carbs-sinit&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Carbs Repository was added to &lt;a href=&quot;//repology.org/repository/carbs&quot;&gt;repology.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
