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.
