oasis is a small linux system

Principles

• Binaries should be linked statically. This is made possible by lightweight system components like musl libc, and a central source repository to keep track of system-wide dependencies.
• Software components should be built in a generic way that allows the user to easily customize and/or modify as needed.
• Sources can be referenced through a URL or git submodule, but not included directly in the oasis repository. This way, users only need to download the sources they are interested in.
• /etc directory should be simple enough for system administrators to understand in its entirety and customize appropriately.
