<title>Outsource Repository Concept</title>
<pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2020</pubDate>

<description><h1>Outsource Repository Concept</h1>
<p>In April 3rd, I have added submodule support for Carbs
Linux&rsquo;s fork of <code>kiss</code>. Now, from that sentence, it really
doesn&rsquo;t sound exciting at all. But in reality, it opens a
path to lots of creative output, and a better way to manage
multi-user repositories (such as KISS Community).</p>
<p>When managing a repository of submodules, the repository
maintainer&rsquo;s only job is to deal with adding packages.
A package maintainer doesn&rsquo;t have to wait for the repository
maintainer to update their packages, as they are only making
the changes to their own repositories.</p>
<p>This way, an end-user can also track from their preferred
maintainers, and do that with the tidyness of a single repository
in their <code>KISS_PATH</code>.</p>
<p>Carbs Linux now has an outsource repository for some packages.
Firefox and its dependencies have been purged from the main repository,
but can be found on it.</p>

<title>Roadmap for Carbs</title>
<pubDate>Mon, 06 Apr 2020</pubDate>

<description><p>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.</p>
<h2>Carbs Linux Server Going Down</h2>
<p>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 <a href="https://github.com/CarbsLinux">Github</a>. The repository and the
website is served on Github now. I have also moved the <a href="https://github.com/CarbsLinux/wiki/wiki">Wiki</a>
to Github and anyone can edit it there. There are some outdated
posts that I will be fixing around this week.</p>
<p>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?)</p>
<p>I feel a little sad for switching, but serving on Github is faster,
cheaper, and hassle-free.</p>
<h2>Forking KISS</h2>
<p>I had a personal fork of KISS, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I didn&rsquo;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 <a href="https://github.com/CarbsLinux/kiss">this repository</a>.
See it for the added changes.</p>
<p>This will be a change for the better, as I can develop the package
manager as it fits my views.</p>
<h2>Small Changes on the Website</h2>
<p>I have made some small changes on the website. The build is not dependent
on Plan9 utilities anymore. It was fun messing around with <code>rc</code> and <code>mk</code>,
but they are quite limited compared to POSIX shell.</p>
<p>RSS feeds are finally working as intended, both for the <a href="https://carbslinux.org/news.xml">news</a> section, and
the <a href="https://carbslinux.org/rss.xml">blog</a> secion.</p>
<p>You can see every page&rsquo;s <code>.txt</code> output at the end of the page by clicking
&lsquo;View Page Source&rsquo;. Meanwhile, I will be updating some pages to be a little
more &lsquo;human-readable&rsquo;.</p>
<h2>Outsources Repository</h2>
<p>I have opened an <code>outsource</code> 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 <a href="https://github.com/CarbsLinux/outsource">here</a>!</p>
<h2>New Tarball</h2>
<p>Finally, I have released a new tarball today, which can be obtained from the
<a href="https://dl.carbslinux.org/releases">downloads page</a>.</p>
<p>I am planning to add more of these update posts as I&rsquo;m feeling better about
the website structure overall.</p>

<title>Switching to New Website</title>

<description><h2>Switching to New Website</h2>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> Jan 28 2020</p>
<p>In case you haven&rsquo;t seen it before, this website
was powered by <a href="http://werc.cat-v.org">werc</a>. And
even though I liked it really much, it was too
powerful for a small website like this.</p>
<p>So I have decided to reimplement this website with
my own static generation scripts. The source will
probably be on <a href="https://carbslinux.org/git/website/log.html">https://carbslinux.org/git/website/log.html</a>
when I decide to publish the website.</p>
<p>The generation requires Plan9 programs, although
I have used them just for my enthusiasm. I have built
the site with a combination of mk (instead of make), rc,
and POSIX sh. I am not yet exactly familiar with rc,
but I will replace the shell scripts when I feel like
I can.</p></description>
