As an user or a developer, reporting the bugs you find is really important
for development of the project. On this page you will find information about how you can report
bugs to the project.
## Package bugs/issues
If you are having issues with a package/software, identify the repo contains the package.
You can use the `mp-query` command for this.
After identifying the repo, visit the issue tracker for that specific repo:
- [issue tracker for the `base` repo](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/base/issues)
- [issue tracker for the `desktop` repo](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/desktop/issues)
Using the search feature of the issue tracker, make sure that the issue has not been already reported.
There is no point at reporting the issue, if it has been already reported. Duplicate issues will be closed.
If the issue has not been already reported, follow the "Registering to Gitea" section of the [contributing page](/wiki/contribute)
in order to create an account. Using this account you can create an issue, fill out all the required information,
and patiently wait for a response. You should provide additional details about the bug/issue when requested.
## Tool bugs/issues
You may have issues using MatterLinux tools such as the MatterLinux Package Manager (`mp`). This issues should be reported
to the related issue tracker over on [Gitea](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter).
## Translation mistakes, spelling mistakes etc.
You do not need to create an issue for small issues such as little translation mistakes. Just contact maintainer/developers
on [XMPP](/wiki/chat).

Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
decisions when appropriate.

If you want to contribute to MatterLinux, please first read the
[code of conduct](/wiki/conduct).
## Registering to Gitea
All of the development is done using the [git version control system](https://git-scm.com/).
And all the git repos are managed using [Gitea](https://about.gitea.com/), so if you want to
contribute, you should register an account first. To prevent mass account creation, registration
page of Gitea is disabled. So in order to register an account, send a email to the
[maintainer](mailto:ngn@ngn.tf) with the subject `Gitea Account`. Specify **at least** two usernames
for your account (second one will be used for registration if the first one is unavailable). Then
wait for a reply containing further instructions. You can also contact the maintainer over on [XMPP](/wiki/chat).
> **Important**
>
> Do not use the Gitea instance for hosting your own projects/repositories, personal
> repositories (A.K.A. repositories not forked for PRs) will be deleted. If you insist on creating
> personal repositories your account will be deleted.
## Issues
To report a bug, to ask questions or to request a feature, first find the related repository.
Then head over to the issue tab. Label your issue and explain it with a simple title. Write a
detailed description for the issue. Finally create the issue and patiently wait for a response.
To get more information about reporting bugs, check out [this wiki page](/wiki/bugs).
## Pull Requests
If you want to make changes and merge them to the project, first fork the related repository.
Then clone the forked repository and make the changes you want.
> **Important**
>
> Do not make multiple changes in one commit, for example adding a feature and fixing a bug
> in the same commit is a bad idea. Separate different changes to different commits
**Make sure to use correct indenting!**. MatterLinux projects uses **2 spaces** for indenting.
Configure your editor so it uses the same indenting. Here is an example configuration for the
`vim` editor:
```
set tabstop=2
set softtabstop=0
set expandtab
set shiftwidth=2
set smarttab
```
And here is a more extended configuration for general usage:
```
set tabstop=2
set softtabstop=0
set expandtab
set shiftwidth=2
set smarttab
set fileencoding="utf-8"
set hlsearch
set ignorecase
set mouse=a
set smartcase
set smartindent
set noswapfile
set pumheight=10
set undofile
set scrolloff=8
set sidescrolloff=8
set number
set relativenumber
set backspace=indent,eol,start
if !isdirectory("/tmp/undos")
call mkdir("/tmp/undos", "", 0700)
endif
set undodir=/tmp/undos
set undofile
syntax on
```
After making the changes, commit them using the following format:
```
<fix/feature/new/remove/update>: <description>
```
Do not use long commit messages, instead add a description to your commit if needed. **Make sure the email you are
using for signing the commit matches with your Gitea account email.**
After pushing your changes create a pull request (PR) to the original project. Write a
detailed description for the PR, explain the changes you have made, explain why you made
these changes and link any related issues.
## Discussion
Join the [chat rooms](/wiki/chat) to discuss with the other developers, especially for larger
changes and PRs.

On this page, you will find information about MatterLinux release cycle and
version numbering.
## Release cycle
The release cycle is pretty simple, if there are enough package updates and changes,
then you get a new release. So its expected to have a release or once a month.
### Package updates
MatterLinux follows a slow rolling release cycle for all the packages. Packages update every
once in a while, generally to fix security issues. Packages get tested on a development pool,
[next.matterlinux.xyz](https://next.matterlinux.xyz) before they get pushed into the main pools.
This way we can maintain a stable experience.
### ISOs and release archives
With each release, project releases two new files, an **ISO** and a **Release Archive**:
- **ISO**: A bootable disk image
- **Release Archive**: An archive used during the installation of a release
With new release, a new ISO and a release archive will be published. This way
the packages in these ISO and archive files will always be up-to-date.
### Learn the version you are using
You can learn the MatterLinux release version you are using by printing
out the `/etc/os-release` file:
```
# cat /etc/os-release
```
## Version numbering
MatterLinux and all it's projects are version numbered after the year.
For example MatterLinux release for the year 2024 is versioned "*MatterLinux 24*".
Minor numbers may be added for other releases. For example the 2nd release of the
MatterLinux 24 ISO would be named "*MatterLinux 24.01*".
Similarly 15th release of the MatterLinux package manager for the year 2024
is versioned "*24.14*".
## Building releases
You can build an up-to-date ISO and a release archives using [`mtsc`](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/matter/mtsc).
`mtsc` can be found the in the [`base` pool](/wiki/pools), and can be installed using
the [package manager](/wiki/matt).
> **Important**
>
> You should be on a MatterLinux system for a proper build!
### Building the release archive
To build a release archive, you can use the `matter-base` tool. This tool will create a temporary directory,
install all the required base packages into it and then it will archive it all up for the final archive.
All you need to do is to specify a name for the archive, for example:
```
# matter-base matterlinux_example-build
```
### Building the ISOs
Official ISOs are built using the `matter-iso` tool. By providing a release archive and a configuration
directory to this tool, you can create an ISO image.
> **Note**
>
> ISO image is created using `grub-mkrescue`, so you should install `libisoburn` before proceeding.
As the configuration directory, you can clone the [official ISO configuration](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/iso).
Or you can use your own custom configuration.
To build the ISO with the release archive that we created on the previous example, using the configuration
directory located at `./iso`:
```
# matter-iso matterlinux_example-build.tar.gz iso
```
The final ISO should be available at `./iso/dist/<name_version>.iso` after the build.
