<title>~ Planned Site and Repo Switch</title>

Sometime down the road, this book will no longer be updated on this
|
|
site (<ulink url="https://zeckmathederg.github.io/glfs"/>) and its
|
|
current repo (<ulink url="https://github.com/Zeckmathederg/glfs"/>).

</para>

<para>
|

Development will switch over to the repo
|
|
<ulink url="https://github.com/glfs-book/glfs"/> after all the
|
|
<ulink url="https://github.com/Zeckmathederg/glfs/issues">current
|
|
issues</ulink> in the current repo are completed, so it may take a
|
|
while before this switch will happen. Please make new issues on the
|
|
<ulink url="https://github.com/glfs-book/glfs">new repo</ulink> and
|
|
they will be dealt with afterwards.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
As for the site, it will be decided when the time is ready and this
|
|
book will display where the updated one is.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
This is all done to make things more professional and to separate the
|
|
project from my account. I also have plans that will make things more
|
|
interesting.

I will be going on an indefinite hiatus. Disappointed and
|
|
bummed out. The subsection of <xref linkend="sdchapter"/>
|
|
named "Drivers" is shotty and current instructions don't
|
|
always work. Read issue
|
|
(<ulink url="https://github.com/Zeckmathederg/glfs/issues/6">
|
|
#6</ulink>) on which issues are present.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
I don't have an estimate for how long I will be out. I
|
|
just need time away from this project and not have to worry
|
|
about LLVM, Rust, and Meson. I may accept pull requests.

<title>~ Removal of Package Information</title>
|
|
<para>June 4th, 2024</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In each page involving packages and their installation,
|
|
there is a section called "Package Information," including
|
|
various information such as the download link(s), download
|
|
size, and estimated build time.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Over the next few days, this section will be removed from
|
|
every page. The download links will remain in each page.
|
|
"Download size," "Download MD5 Sum," "Estimated disk space
|
|
required," and "Estimated build time" will be removed.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
When packages are updated, all this information has to be
|
|
checked, measured, and updated, demanding a lot of work to
|
|
maintain everything. The removal of the "Package Information"
|
|
section will make things much more manageable. Not to mention,
|
|
I am terrible at maintaining projects as it is. SBUs are also
|
|
good to know for each package but it can take a lot of time to
|
|
measure and calculate the SBUs for each package. I cannot
|
|
provide accurate SBU timing at this time. On a Ryzen 5 1600
|
|
(has 6 cores and 12 threads), when typing and copy+pasting
|
|
commands, going through the entire book took me 35 hours.
|
|
If you have an application or script that can parse GLFS and
|
|
run the commands automatically, the time will be comparable
|
|
to Gentoo.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Not the best of announcements, not the best of news. Sorry
|
|
but this will help me maintain this book better.

<para>
|
|
This was made in anticipation for a few updates to come out, making
|
|
changes that might be seen as weird or controversial. This offers as
|
|
a section to explain those changes. <xref linkend="changelog"/> doesn't
|
|
provide a good format to explain why commits and changes are being made,
|
|
but rather just what changes were made.
