It's been a long while. I spent long hours trying to fix the kernel configuration just to the drivers working for Xorg... and I have done it, I got Xorg working on MatterLinux!

160 packages in the desktop repo!

Previously desktop had around 30 packages, and now its 160! I packaged lots of stuff for xorg, and I also packaged some unrelated general libraries.

I packaged all the stuff you need to get xorg working in a package named, well, xorg. It has all the libraries, fonts and all the other fun stuff as a dependency.

I also packaged bspwm, I will packaging more window manager related stuff in the future as well.

New mp-list command

The new mp command, which ships with mp version 24.16, lets users list all the installed packages. Also MP_QGREP option has been renamed to MP_GREP and now it's also used to get grep-able output from mp-list.

Other little updates

• mp-repo now has a new little script named mp-temp that lets you create package templates, to make it easier to create packages
• New neofetch package now displays package information
• New linux package, which is built with the new kernel configuration, has graphics support for general graphics

What is next?

Next, I will probably package networkmanager and a browser (probably vimb). I will also package general window manager stuff such as nitrogen, polybar etc. Hopefully it will all go well.
