NuTyX 23.07.0 available with cards 2.6.99

Spiky and me are happy to announce the new version of NuTyX 23.07.0 and cards 2.6.99 .

What's new

With the invaluable help of Dan (MiyoLinux), we're offering a new custom ISO JWM with a new theme implemented by Dan.

The flcards tool has been refreshed and now offers an even simpler interface.

The packagekit package has been added, and a backend for cards have been added and is under development. Means soon it will be possible to install, remove, upgrade NuTyX packages from the discover/gnome-packagekit applications.

The mybld -s command now requires a package/collection as an argument.
