Everything's changed, so read carefully.
- The network is breaching. The infamous Hoon 151 is one of the things
coming in on this breach.
- The project has been refactored into multiple repositories. There are
about five now, by my count.
- The main repositories have been rewritten. Your copies and forks are all
useless now, sorry, you'll have to reclone, but:
- The main urbit repository will be a reasonable 5MB download to clone,
rather than pushing 1GB. This is because:
- urbit.pill versions are still stored, but they're now stored on
bootstrap.urbit.org.
You'll need to `curl -o urbit.pill http://bootstrap.urbit.org/latest.pill`
or similar.
Right now it just looks for a file named urbit.pill in the current
directory, but this will be automated a bit more very soon.
- It might not actually be a reasonable 5MB yet, because we're hosted on
GitHub and there's no way to force them to GC. Workaround if this happens:
mkdir urbit
cd urbit
git init
git pull https://github.com/urbit/urbit master
git remote add origin https://github.com/urbit/urbit
git fetch
git branch -u origin/master
- If you're a contributor or carrier pilot, you'll also want to clone the
arvo repository. Just clone it right inside your urbit repo.
They're intended to nest. Carriers will be looking in arvo/ rather than
urb/zod/ for their files now.
Git will, shockingly, manage to do the right thing. This one's a
reasonable 12MB on the wire.
- If you're a web frontend contributor, the coffeescript and scss sources
for each frontend (talk, tree) are in their own repositories.
- If you're a contributor to the docs - that's in its own repository (docs)
too.
Keep your eyes on your email for notice on when you can start using the
network again. Please send any problems in by the usual channels.
Yours,
