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 1.6
Pol, thank you for your reply.
I'm afraid I didn't quite understand what you're proposing. AFAIK, MATE
desktop is /not/ available in the stable (wheezy) repository. It was
only recently packaged for Debian and it's available in jessie and
wheezy-backports only. If I am correct, apt-cache search ^mate should
return nothing (if the stable repos are the only ones enabled in
sources.list). Am I missing something?
following what you wrote you can use mate1.8 and upgrade it from main
debian repository :-)

3. apt-get -t wheezy-backports install mate-desktop-environment-extras
4. Remove repo.mate-desktop.org from sources.list
Is this OK?
yep
