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.
|
|
We also prioritize free/libre software over open source software.
|
|
|
|
**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**Packaged software should be secure**: Outdated software that has critical vulnerabilities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 pull requests 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`, `runit` etc.)
|
|
- Non-libre Linux kernel
|
|
- Other third-party package managers (apt, dnf, pacman etc.), however containerized package managers can
|
|
be packaged, except for snap (I don't like snap)
