After longs hours of improvements and testing latter, the first release is finally here.
|
|
There was also bunch of other development in this 12 day period. So lets go over it.
|
|
|
|
## MatterLinux 24.00
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the 24.00 release, MatterLinux now has an official ISO and a release archive.
|
|
I also published the installation guide over on the wiki. This means you can install
|
|
MatterLinux right now! Of course, as of now, the repos are really limited, so it's
|
|
not ready for daily usage, not quite yet.
|
|
|
|
## Package Tracker
|
|
MatterLinux now has a [custom package tracker](https://tracker.matterlinux.xyz/)!
|
|
It's written in Go, like the web server. It doesn't have a lot of functionality,
|
|
but it provides an easy interface for finding and tracking packages.
|
|
|
|
## New tools!
|
|
The [tools](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/tools) repository is extended with
|
|
the addition of the `matter-iso` script, which just a simple script that you can use
|
|
to build custom ISO images. The configuration for the official ISO images can be
|
|
find in the [iso](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/iso) repository. It actually took
|
|
surprisingly long time to get the ISO to work, kernel was somehow unable to find
|
|
the `init` program. I tried fixing that by supplying the `init=` parameter, which
|
|
didn't work so I just went ahead with the lazy option and `init` over to `/`.
|
|
|
|
## Little Improvements
|
|
Apart from these, I also made quite a few improvements to the website, packages, infrastructure
|
|
and to the package manager:
|
|
|
|
- I reworked the CSS for the website (especially for the markdown content). I think
|
|
it's now easier to read and overall looks cleaner.
|
|
- I added the `mp-query` command to the package manager, which lets you get information
|
|
about a specific package in a nicely formatted way.
|
|
- Fixed compile flags for few packages, including `grub`, which was really unstable as
|
|
it was being compiled with optimization flags.
|
|
- XMPP room moved from jabbers.one to a self hosted server (located at matterlinux.xyz)
|
|
- Git server moved from [Gogs](https://gogs.io/) to [Gitea](https://about.gitea.com/)
|
|
|
|
## What's Next?
|
|
I will be on a vacation for a couple of weeks and I also have other projects to work
|
|
on so I will be taking a break from the project. When I come back I will be extending the
|
|
`desktop` repo, and hopefully when I make the next post, there will be working
|
|
display server in the repo.
|
|
|
|
That will be all for now, see you in the next post!
