MATE SlackBuilds ================ Here are some SlackBuild scripts to build and install the MATE desktop environment on Slackware. Currently, they build and install MATE 1.6 which is the stable branch released on April, 2013. How to install: 1. Clone the Git repo or download a tarball/zip of the repo. Run the 'mate-build-base.sh' in the msb root directory which will build and install all the base (required) packages. Note, there are also some dependencies in the /deps directory. There are a total of 24 packages and they do not replace any stock Slackware packages. (If you are building on -current, then dconf is already included in Slackware so you do not need the dconf here in the git repo -- see CURRENT.TXT). The SlackBuilds will use wget to download the sources. Or, you can also manually download the sources from: http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/1.6/ and the download locations for each dependency and put each source into the corresponding directory within 'base' and 'deps'. 2. Optionally, build and install any of the extra packages in the /extra directory. If you want to build and install them all, then you can use the 'mate-build-extra.sh' script in the msb root directory. Otherwise, just go into the directory of whatever package you want in /extra and run the SlackBuild. As with 'base', each SlackBuild will download the source. 3. Once the base packages are built and installed, plus any from /extra, you can use 'xwmconfig' to select the mate session. Or, if you use KDM, just log out and select MATE from the KDM session dialog. 4. Check the 'startup applications' because there might be some duplicate or conflicting entries. For example, there will be an entry for polkit-mate and polkit-gnome, the result of which might be duplicate attempts at polkit actions when inserting a usb stick, for example. You may want to disable polkit-gnome and see if polkit-mate works by itself. Also, if you use mate-power-manager from /extra then you might want to disable the Xfce power manager if it is listed. Same with mate-keyring from /extra - if you installed that, you might want to disable the gnome-keyring entries. 5. Enjoy and let me know of any issues. Thanks! 6.
