Testing version on stable system

Talk status

This discussion is done.

Have removed this paragraph since it's no longer necessary.

"This will install MATE 1.6 if you run a stable system and MATE 1.8 if you run a testing system; if you want MATE 1.8 on a stable system, use these /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords entries and then run the above command."

Not sure if the same site will have relevant info in the future about a testing version, so I'm putting it here for future reference. - dcljr (talk) 09:49, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Builds on ~arm64 (Raspberry Pi3) after keywording the required packages and fixing USE=gnome-keyring being masked. Its not failed yet but so far, testing is fairly minimal.

Mate ebuilds in main repo up to date

Talk status

This discussion is done as of 2023-12-23.

I have removed this paragraph since as of writing this (20.06.2020) the ebuilds in the main repo are on the latest version (1.24) and the overlay mate-de-gentoo contains a package that depends on python 3.6 which creates a blocker in current gentoo as it has moved to 3.7.

"As of end of 2019 most MATE ebuilds in the main repo are outdated, you can use the mate-de-gentoo overlay to get updated ebuild."
