Hi there,
is there a plan to update Mate in EPEL ?
There was a demand to update to Mate 1.8 years ago but I didn't see
any answer. Mate 1.24 is currently available.
Thanks
I run Mate on both CentOS 7 and CentOS 8.
For CentOS 7, I run Mate 1.20 using RPMs I built myself that are in
turn
derived from the sources in Fedora. I've posted previously about this
build and how others could use it if they want [1].
For CentOS 8, I run Mate 1.22 using the stenstorp copr repo [2].
Both builds of Mate have worked flawlessly. I'd love to see the EPEL
build of Mate upgraded for CentOS 7, and introduced for CentOS 8. I'm
a
Fedora packager and have considered assisting with this, but I believe
the Fedora maintainer is not interested in EPEL builds of this, and I
don't have experience with managing larger groups of packages like
Mate.

Greg,
I should really try to build it myself since I have a problem with HiDPI monitors not properly supported in the available build. I need to review your notes carefully since I have no experience building anything complex - yet...
By "the available build" are you referring to the current 1.16 version
in EPEL 7 ? You should be able to try my 1.20 build by adding a yum repo.
Have you also tried to build the most recent version available?
I think I tried building Mate 1.22 on CentOS 7 but ran into issues where
it needed a newer GCC than CentOS 7 provides, and I wasn't up for the
complexity challenge of building it using a different toolchain... :)
