Serpent OS
This is a progress log of the effort to rewrite `moss` (Serpent OS package manager) to rustlang 🦀.
**This summary is generated by ChatGPT 3.5 and edited by me** The end of February update from Serpent OS brings several exciting developments. Firstly, the packaging build tool, `boulder`, has been upgraded with Rust integration, allowing for more efficient deployment and use of async features. Triggers have been integrated into the `moss` package manager, facilitating actions during package management operations. In pursuit of a stateless philosophy, Serpent OS now utilizes `systemd` mechanisms for managing system users, simplifying account cleanup. The GNOME 45 Desktop has been packaged successfully, alongside ongoing work on tooling and recipe organization. Additionally, the team has performed a rebootstrap using updated tool versions. Plans include releasing a pre-alpha image for testing and focusing on bare-metal functionality in the future. Future updates will cover further enhancements to `moss` and progress on bare-metal testing.
