environment on Slackware. Currently, they build and install MATE 1.7 which is
the development release towards MATE 1.8. For those wanted to install MATE 1.6
which was released on April 2, 2013, please checkout the '1.6' branch (step 2).
Please check the main project website at http://mateslackbuilds.github.com for

the development release towards MATE 1.8. For those who want to install the
latest stable release of MATE 1.6 which was released on April 2, 2013, please
checkout the '1.6' branch (step 2). Please check the main project website at

How to build and install the MATE packages using these scripts:
1. Clone the Git repo or download a tarball/zip of the repo.
2. Read GIT_BRANCHES.TXT to make sure you are on the right branch of the MSB
repo. After cloning the initial Git repo, you will be using 'master' branch
which will build MATE 1.7 and considered development branch. The stable branch
is '1.6'. Checkout that branch using 'git checkout 1.6' to build from the
stable branch.

which will build the development branch of MATE 1.7. Building from the
development branch is not supported and may or may not work at any given
moment. Most users will want to build from the stable branch which is '1.6'.
Checkout that branch using 'git checkout 1.6' to build from the stable MSB
branch.
3. Run the 'mate-build-base.sh' in the msb root directory which will build
and install all the base (required) packages, including necessary dependencies
