MATE 1.6 to 1.8 Upgrade HOWTO <willysr@slackware-id.org>
This document explains how to upgrade from MATE 1.6 to 1.8 in Slackware 14.1.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you begin, I would strongly recommend making a backup of your
system, or, if not the entire system, at least the /etc and your home directory.
You might find that you need to refer to a few things after the upgrade
process is complete. Back it up, or take your chances.
OK, now that everything is safely backed up, let's proceed. :-)
To do this, you'll need the MATE 1.8 packages ready in your local system. Grab it
from official repository at http://www.slackware.org.uk/msb/ or any other mirror sites.
0. log out from MATE Desktop
1. Upgrade/Install all new packages from MATE 1.8
upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/base/*.txz
upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/extra/*.txz
2. Remove obsolete packages
removepkg mate-file-manager-gksu
removepkg mate-file-manager-image-converter
removepkg mate-file-manager-open-terminal
removepkg mate-file-manager-sendto
removepkg mate-keyring
removepkg libmatekeyring
removepkg mate-doc-utils
removepkg libmatewnck
removepkg mate-character-map
3. Remove renamed packages
removepkg mate-file-manager
removepkg mate-window-manager
removepkg mate-document-viewer
removepkg mate-image-viewer
removepkg mate-file-archiver
removepkg mate-menu-editor
removepkg mate-text-editor
You will notice that some of the files are found on other packages and it will not be deleted.
That's fine, since these packages gets a new name on MATE 1.8 (see MATE-1.8-CHANGES.TXT).
At this point you should be running MATE 1.8 on Slackware 14.1. :-)
I wish everyone good luck with this!
