MATE 1.12 to 1.14 Upgrade HOWTO
|
|
<mateslackbuilds@gmail.com>
|
|
|
|
This document explains how to upgrade from MATE 1.12 on Slackware 14.1 to
|
|
MATE 1.14 on Slackware Linux 14.2.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
This procedure assumes you are upgrading from Slackware 14.1 to Slackware 14.2.
|
|
If you install Slackware 14.2 using a clean installation procedure, simply
|
|
use installpkg to install all packages in deps, base, and extra directory.
|
|
|
|
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 1.14 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 1.14 has new and obsoleted
|
|
packages.
|
|
|
|
0. Reboot after upgrading your Slackware 14.1 -> Slackware 14.2
|
|
|
|
1. Upgrade and install all new MATE 1.14 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 obsolete packages:
|
|
|
|
removepkg mate-netspeed perl-xml-twig perl-net-dbus system-tools-backends
|
|
removepkg liboobs mate-system-tools gnome-main-menu
|
|
|
|
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 1.14
|
|
|
|
At this point you should be running MATE 1.14 on Slackware 14.2. :-) If
|
|
you have installed everything from /base and /extra (which will include
|
|
packages from the /deps directory) then you should have a total of 51
|
|
packages:
|
|
|
|
$ ls /var/log/packages | grep _msb | wc -l
|
|
51
|
|
|
|
We wish everyone good luck with this! Please report any issues to
