August 2024 update

2024-08-30

Work has begun on file management. A basic implementation for a file merging strategy by mirroring the root of the file system from ~/.config/tori/base is already functional. This is better explained in the docs.

After this strategy is finished, particularly with handling backups before overwriting files, imperative commands for package management are likely to be worked on before file management is tackled again.

You can follow development on the file-copy branch.

The website has gained a few more pages, namely Discover, Get Started and Support Matrix.

The intention with the first two is to give someone who just discovered tori a chance to quickly know what it is about and then the minimal set of instructions needed to install and run it.

The Support Matrix is where users can refer to in order to know if their operating system is supported and to what extent. It’s linked to from Get Started in its first step – checking compatibility.

Unrelated to support matrices, a Matrix room (as in the protocol) was created for users to ask questions or just talk about tori. If you are interested in joining, you can just use the room link or lookup #tori:bsd.cafe from your client.

One more minor change to the website was moving the Git repositories links to a dedicated code page to make space for the new pages in the navigation menu.
