There is also a link to MATE 1.18\nbinary packages for Slackware 14.2 and also older MATE packages for Slackware\n14.0 and 14.1.\n\nPlease read GIT_BRANCHES.TXT to make sure you are on the right branch of\nthe MSB repo before attempting to build from the scripts.\n\nAfter cloning the initial Git repo, you will be using 'master' branch which\nwill build the latest release or development branch for MATE desktop.\nBuilding from the master branch is not supported and may or may not work at\nany given moment. Most users will want to build from the stable branch which\nis MATE version 1.28, released in February 2024.  Checkout that branch using 'git\ncheckout 15.0-mate-1.28' to build from the stable MSB branch.\n\nThe rest of this README.TXT is specific to building from the 'master'\nbranch which will build MATE 1.28, which is the latest stable version of MATE.\n\nHow to build and install the MATE packages using these scripts:\n\n1.  Clone the Git repo or download a tarball/zip of the repo.\n\n2.  Run the 'mate-build-deps.sh' in the msb root directory which will build\nand install all the necessary dependencies in the /deps directory.\nPlease use \"su\" or \"su -\" to build as root instead of using \"sudo\".\n\n3.  Run the 'mate-build-base.sh' in the msb root directory which will build\nand install all the base (required) packages. There are a total of 25 packages\nand they do not replace any stock Slackware packages. The SlackBuilds will use\nwget to download the sources.  Or, you can also manually download the\nsources from: http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/1.28 and the download\nlocations for each dependency and put each source into the corresponding\ndirectory within 'base' and 'deps'.\n\n4.  Optionally, build and install any of the extra packages in the /extra\ndirectory.  If you want to build and install them all, then you can use the\n'mate-build-extra.sh' script in the msb root directory.  Otherwise, just go\ninto the directory of whatever package you want in /extra and run the\nSlackBuild.  As with 'base', each SlackBuild will download the source.\n\n5.  Once the base packages are built and installed, plus any from /extra,\nyou can use 'xwmconfig' to select the mate session.  Or, if you use KDM,\njust log out and select MATE from the KDM session dialog.\n\n6.  Check the 'startup applications' because there might be some duplicate\nor conflicting entries.  For example, there will be an entry for\npolkit-mate and polkit-gnome, the result of which might be duplicate\nattempts at polkit actions when inserting a usb stick, for example.  You\nmay want to disable polkit-gnome and see if polkit-mate works by itself.\nAlso, if you use mate-power-manager then you might want to disable the Xfce\npower manager if it is listed.\n\n7. Check the 'preferred applications' in System \u003e Preferences \u003e Personal \nmenu to make sure you use the correct application. eg. caja for File Manager\ninstead of audacious.\n\n8.  Users running Slackware{64} -current are advised to read CURRENT.TXT.\nIt should also be noted that the target system for MATE SlackBuilds is a\nfull install of the latest official Slackware release.  It might run on a\nless-than-full install and it might run on -current.  Or, it might not.\nNeither of those are our official target systems.\n\n9.  Enjoy and let us know of any issues.  Email is:\nmateslackbuilds@gmail.com.\n\nThanks!\n\n---\nChess Griffin\nWilly Sudiarto Raharjo\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmateslackbuilds%2Fmsb","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmateslackbuilds%2Fmsb","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmateslackbuilds%2Fmsb/lists"}
