[2023-10-04T03:15:59Z] <sewn> hi sad_plan [2023-10-04T03:16:37Z] <sewn> vova: no who is wael [2023-10-04T03:16:43Z] <sad_plan> hi sewn [2023-10-04T03:17:02Z] <sad_plan> whyd you switch to alpine though? [2023-10-04T03:26:18Z] <sewn> I was using kiss for a year and heard so many things about alpine during that period [2023-10-04T03:26:44Z] <sewn> what got me to switch is simply the packaging format being the beat format I've ever seen in a distro by far [2023-10-04T03:27:16Z] <sewn> also the init scripts are ones I wish I had on kiss (like uevent/udhcpc) [2023-10-04T03:29:04Z] <sewn> also its cool to try out new things, my next target is glaucus [2023-10-04T03:33:34Z] <sad_plan> I see. I also like alpine. although Ive never tried it. but if I were to switch to a new binary distro, aside from me already using artix on my desktop, alpine might be a choice for me [2023-10-04T03:33:41Z] <sad_plan> also, yeah glacious seems interesting. [2023-10-04T03:34:36Z] <sad_plan> developement seems to be rather slow though [2023-10-04T11:36:51Z] <sewn> sad_plan: that's because the primary developer doesn't have much time to work on the project [2023-10-04T11:37:28Z] <sewn> it seems promising as the project is aimed to be as performant as humanly possible, the live iso/img boots near instantly [2023-10-04T12:07:23Z] <vova> btw [2023-10-04T12:07:34Z] <vova> Why not switch from busybox to toybox on kiss ? [2023-10-04T12:08:00Z] <vova> IIRC Dylin did it, but why not doing officialy [2023-10-04T12:08:24Z] <vova> Like removing busybox package and providing toybox instead [2023-10-04T12:12:58Z] <illiliti> because toybox requires bash at build time [2023-10-04T12:13:07Z] <vova> Oh [2023-10-04T12:13:11Z] <vova> That's sad [2023-10-04T13:41:21Z] <sewn> vova: I used toybox on kiss anyway and a lot of things were just missing [2023-10-04T13:42:22Z] <sewn> and when I wanted to add missing features, toybox's code was unreadable, hence why I patched sbase and ubase instead (which was still lacking features, but at least I really like the project and its code in general) [2023-10-04T13:59:58Z] <vova> Ok I see [2023-10-04T14:00:10Z] <vova> Busybox is better atm I guess [2023-10-04T14:00:35Z] <vova> also do any of you continued to work on the "virtual" packages ? [2023-10-04T14:00:40Z] <vova> also do any of you continued to work on the "virtual" packages support ? [2023-10-04T14:19:34Z] <illiliti> afaik no [2023-10-04T14:38:36Z] <sewn> vova: do you mean the provides system? [2023-10-04T15:56:03Z] <vova> idk how it's called but like the virtual packages in gentoo [2023-10-04T20:27:02Z] <sad_plan> hi [2023-10-04T20:29:52Z] <sad_plan> sewn: sure. iirc, he works on this project alone aswell.
