"The next version of #CentOS is being released September 24 and will be announced in all the usual places."
I'm wondering about the status of the Mate Desktop.
Looking under M here:

I don't see anything about Mate. Which leads me to ask, what's its status then? I hope it hasn't died since that's what I use for all of my computers.

This is more of a question for the EPEL lists versus here. The current status is that desktops are harder to package up in EL8 and only a less feature version is available at the moment. At the moment the only one I know of is KDE is half implemented in EPEL Playground and will be reimplemented as a module when EPEL gains the ability to do modules. At that point interested people can also do the work to make Mate/Cinnamon/etc available.

For Centos 7, I use Mate from the epel repo. I assume it'll eventually appear there for C8 as well.

I hope we can get the latest version of Mate compiled for C 7.

yes, that'd be nice. but in the meantime the version we have is at least a ton better than the default desktop, which I've never figured out how to use beyond getting epel configured and Mate installed.

Yes, those are previous posts of mine. I was hoping we would get the latest version of Mate available on Centos 7.

I have successfuly built and run 1.20, based on EPEL 1.16. Upgrading those to 1.22 was not successful, while everything builds, most desktop components just crash.

I would very much like to see the latest version - as well as versions to come - available for CentOS7 (and 8 eventually.) Is there anything I/we can do to help you identify and track down bugs?
