Introducing docs.obarun.org — automated, centralized documentation
Dear Obarun Community,
Documentation for every Obarun program now lives under a single dedicated domain: docs.obarun.org. More importantly, it now updates itself.
apkg — new pipeline tooling for Obarun packages
Dear Obarun Community,
The build and deployment pipeline behind every Obarun package — [obcore], [obextra], [observice]
and [obcommunity] — has been rebuilt from the ground up. The new tool is called apkg. It
replaces the legacy apkg-*.sh bash scripts that have been quietly orchestrating Obarun package
releases for more than 3 years. This post explains what changed, what it means for maintainers, and — most
importantly — why contributing a package to [obcommunity] is now drastically easier than it used
to be.
