According to Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/CentOSProject/status/1173652996305170432 "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: https://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/fedora/epel/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/m/ 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. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

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. -- Stephen J Smoogen.

I assume it'll eventually appear there for C8 as well. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ---------------------------- Do you not know? Have you not heard?
