MATE 1.20 to 1.22 Upgrade HOWTO This document explains how to upgrade from MATE 1.20 on MATE 1.22 on Slackware Linux Current ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before you begin, we 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. :-) You will need the MATE 1.22 packages available on your local system. Grab them from the official repository at http://www.slackware.uk/msb/ or any of the mirror sites. Please note that MATE 1.22 has no new package, but two packages need to be removed as it no longer built on -current and dropped from upstream project. 1. Upgrade and install all new MATE 1.22 packages: upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/deps/*.txz upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/base/*.txz upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /path/to/extra/*.txz 2. Remove deprecated packages removepkg caja-actions mate-icon-theme-faenza 3. Run xwmconfig and select xinitrc.mate-session. This ensures you get the latest copy of xinitrc.mate-session due to changes in mate-session- manager. ALWAYS run this command for both new installations or upgrades from MATE 1.20 At this point you should be running MATE 1.22 on Slackware Current. :-) We wish everyone good luck with this!
