Packages in the official MatterLinux pools (should) follow these guidelines:
- Packaged software should be free or/and open source: Proprietary software won't be included to the pools. No exceptions. If you find a proprietary software package in the official pools, please create an issue or a pull request on the related Git repository to remove the package.
- Packaged software should be stable: Software known to be unstable will not packaged, if the stability is related to the version of the software, we may package a different/patched version of the software.
- Packaged software should be secure: Outdated software that has critical vulnerabilities will not be packaged.
- Packaged software should be (somewhat) popular: No, we are not gonna package some random window manager that only has 3 users and was last updated in 1993.
The following software packages will NOT be added, so do not waste your time with PRs or issues:
- DWM or other Suckless tools that are configured using header files
- Any Wayland only window managers ("compositors"), status bars, terminals etc. We only have Weston which used for testing the Wayland environment
- Other init systems (
dinit,runitetc.) - Non-libre kernel
- Other third-party package managers (apt, dnf, pacman etc.), however containerized package managers can be packaged (except for snap, f*%#! snap)
