Hello, I'm an user of Debian since ... a long time especially the Unstable branch. Mate 1.28.x is released 1 year ago and it's still not in Sid. Any reason of that ? Mate is abandonned on Debian ? Thanks for your answer, Cheers,
The problem is indeed an ENOTIME (haven't had time for it) early enough before the trixie freeze.
I started packaging stuff, but noticed two problems:
* mate-desktop (libmate-desktop-...) removed symbols without an
SOVERSION_MAJOR bump. I started bringing back the removed symbols
but that was not a trivial task and I ended up discouraged as
this is a major upstream flaw of the 1.28 version of libmate-desktop
and it needs to be fixed there.
* mate-settings-daemon's behaviour on DBus is broken, breaking e.g.
arctica-greeter
So, Trixie will come with MATE 1.26 and I will put some effort into
bumping it to 1.28 after the trixie release.
Unless someone else steps up and pushes MATE 1.28 in (but please resolve the above issues sanely). If it needs more feedback and details, I can provide them.
