Good job and thanks, but I won't add anything that overwrites EPEL.
Can help with hosting it in a separate repo if you wish, though.

Not broken, but full of bugs that will never get fixed.

I did a while back rebuild the EPEL rpms for 1.20. There are spec files I could make available but I can't find the build environemnt setup now. It involves mock, a custom local repo to receive the fresh builds as you don't want to pull in the rpms from EPEL, and a build script that defines the order, among other things. If I have time next week I can try and locate everything.

I have done the hard lifting and rebuilt mate 1.22 on CentOS 7. It's
not without quirks, and I haven't actually installed and tested, but
I'm willing to make the srpms available - without any commitments.
This might make a good addition to Nux :)
