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

<p>
You can switch your remote by executing the following command on your repository
directory.

<b><b>IMPORTANT!</b></b> 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.

<p>
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. 
</p>

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