Debian and Ubuntu package repositories removed from mate-desktop.org

Martin Wimpress — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 11:34:36 GMT

Thanks to the efforts of the MATE package maintainers for Debian MATE 1.8.1 is available in Debian Jessie (testing) and also Debian backports for Wheezy.

As a result of MATE 1.8.1 hitting the Debian testing repositories earlier this year, MATE 1.8.1 is also in the official archive for Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn. The Ubuntu MATE team have recently created a MATE 1.8.1 PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr at the request of the Ubuntu Technical Board and also a MATE 1.8.1 PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin

If you require MATE packages for Debian or Ubuntu then the package repositories above are the official repositories to use.

We've removed the package repositories hosted on mate-desktop.org because some were unsigned and others have not been maintained for many months. Therefore, as of now, the Debian and Ubuntu package repositories hosted on mate-desktop.org have been removed.

Debian MATE Packaging Team

The MATE Team is very happy to say hello to the new Debian MATE Packaging Team, that is working hard to get MATE included into the next release of Debian.

First packages are already in the repositories and there are many others in ftp-master NEW queue.

A big thanks to:

If you want to join the team, please reach the members on IRC in the #debian-mate channel @ OFTC.

New wiki and other info

Steve Zesch — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 21:58:49 GMT

We've recently switched from a wiki at GitHub to a our own available from wiki.mate-desktop.org. Please reference this wiki from now on. Naturally, anyone is welcome to contribute.

For those of you who aren't already aware, you can report issues on github. At the moment, this is all we have in terms of bug reporting, but we do have a bugtracker in the works. We'll announce it here when it's ready.

We also have future plans for a Mate forum, but that is at a very early stage.

For those of you using Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint, you can access the 1.1.x development branch of our packages using the tridex repository. Check out the download page on the wiki for more info. Linux Mint also has our 1.0.x release packages in their repository. If anyone is still using Amanas' PPA, it is no longer supported. The rest of our 1.1.x releases will be hosted on the tridex repositories. Future releases (eg. 1.2.0) will be hosted here.

We are proud to announce that packing for openSUSE has begun. Once we have more information we will add it to our wiki and make an announcement.

Lastly, we have had several individuals join our IRC channel and ask about Gentoo ebuilds for MATE. With that being said, we are looking for people who are willing to set these up.

Happy Holidays from the Mate team.

Introducing MATE Desktop

Clement Lefebvre — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 12:00:30 GMT

Добре дошли в настолната среда MATE!

Gnome 2 беше най-популярната Линукс десктоп среда, но вече не е наличнa... MATE е тук, за да ви предостави същия работен плот :)

Първоначално Perberos разклони Gnome 2 и нарече проекта MATE. Потребителите и разработчиците успешно пуснаха MATE на [Arch Linux] (https://www.archlinux.org) и поради популярното търсене, Perberos улесни компилирането на MATE под Debian.

Stefano Karapetsas и Clement Lefebvre след това се присъедини към проекта и го пакетира за Debian и Linux Mint. Десктопът MATE беше представен в Linux Mint 12 и сега бързо набира скорост.

Нашият основен приоритет е да подобрим MATE и той да бъде равен по отношение на характеристиките и стабилност, с Gnome 2.32. Ще пренесем теми, аплети и приложения, които са разработени за Gnome 2 и помагат на разработчиците да прехвърлят приложенията си към този нов работен плот.
