What is the recommended way for switching to wheezy-backports and MATE 1.8? This is what I'm thinking:
using: # wheezy stable deb http://ip/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb http://ip/debian-security stable/updates main contrib non-free apt-get update apt-cache search ^mate you can use mate 1.6following what you wrote you can use mate1.8 and upgrade it from main debian repository :-)
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main 2. apt-get update 3. apt-get -t wheezy-backports install mate-desktop-environment-extras 4. Remove repo.mate-desktop.org from sources.list Is this OK?
yep Pol
