MATE 1.26 to 1.28 Upgrade HOWTO
<mateslackbuilds@gmail.com>
This document explains how to upgrade from MATE 1.26 on MATE 1.28 on
Slackware Linux 15.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 1.28 packages available on your local system. Grab
them from the official repository at https://www.slackware.uk/msb/ or
any of the mirror sites. Please note that MATE 1.28 has one package and no removed packages.
1. Upgrade and install all new MATE 1.28 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. 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 1.28
At this point you should be running MATE 1.28 on Slackware 15.0. :-)
We wish everyone good luck with this! Please report any issues to
mateslackbuilds@gmail.com.
