Hello again, just a quick update. I announced that I've been
working on a new package management system in the previous post.
And I now I'm happy to announce that the new system is ready!
## New projects
Over these few weeks I released 2 different projects:
- [pooler](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/pooler): Simple MPTP server for serving package pools
- [matt](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/matt): The (new) MatterLinux package manager
With these tools, the package management system is complete. But now it's time for the
harder part, migrating all the new packages. I already know that this will take a WHILE. I'm currently
migrating the base packages over on the [new repo](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/base-new). These
are critical base system packages, so I'm manually migrating and updating them, however for the `desktop`
packages, I think I will write a migration script to make my life easier.
So yeah, this is what I've been working on for the last few weeks and hopefully I will be able to
release all of this by the end of the summer with 24.05, no promises though. I will also work on the
wiki and the documentation on my free time, I want to make sure that I've everything well documented before 24.05.
But anyway, that's all for now. See you in the next post.
