# A tiny GNU/Linux distribution
|

## Details

||||
MatterLinux is a tiny, independent, [free/libre](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) and
|
||||
[open source](https://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source) GNU/Linux distribution
|
||||
for `amd64` systems. It has its own package management system and its own package repos.

## Goals & Status
|

The project aims to create a tiny and simple yet still usable GNU/Linux system from the

scratch. So the project is not based on any other distribution, nor it's package ecosystem.

version numbering.
|

|

## Release Cycle
|
||||
MatterLinux will make a new release once a year. A new release means every package will be updated
|
||||
to a more recent version. Packages will replace the old ones,
|
||||
meaning old packages will no longer be available and support for the old release will end.
|
||||
If you are using an old release, you will able to update to the latest one by running a
|
||||
full update using the [MatterLinux Package Manager](/wiki/package_man).
|
||||
|
||||
During the testing of the new release, repos for the new release will be located
|
||||
at [next.matterlinux.xyz](https://next.matterlinux.xyz).
|
||||
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 two once a month.
|
||||
|
||||
### Package Updates
|
||||
Packages usually won't be updated to a more recent version during the life of a MatterLinux release,
|
||||
however sometimes packages may be updated for bug fixes, security issues and minor improvements.
|
||||
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 repo,
|
||||
[next.matterlinux.xyz](https://next.matterlinux.xyz) before they get pushed into the main repos.
|
||||
This way we can maintain a stable experience.

author and the public key used to sign the packages.

|

This metadata can be found in the `repo` file at the root of the repo. For example

the repo metadata for `https://24.matterlinux.xyz/base` is located at

### Package List
|
||||
A list containing all packages and all the package metadata can be found in an

archive file named after the repo. For example the package list for

`https://24.matterlinux.xyz/base` is located at `https://24.matterlinux.xyz/base/base.tar.gz`.

`https://pkgs.matterlinux.xyz/base` is located at `https://pkgs.matterlinux.xyz/base/base.tar.gz`.

This archive file contains a file named `pkgs`, which contains repo package list in the

`INI` format. It contains the package names, descriptions, versions, sums and dependencies.
