Hi everyone, There's been discussions in the past about updating MATE RPMs in EPEL-7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1436260 https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2019-August/173154.html (and lots of others...) As a proof-of-concept, I've written some scripts that clone specific commits from the Fedora master branches, and then runs a tool to re-apply RPM scriptlets

Hi, OT for this list, but maybe I can get some pointers - how hard is it to get some packages updated in EPEL? The project web site sends you from link to link, and the ML web interface is horrible. No interest here to become a package maintainer or regular contributor. I have taken it upon myself to rebuild MATE from Fedora 29, seeing that the current EPEL-7 packages are four revisions behind.

We're using mate-terminal (1.16.3) from EPEL on CentOS 7.4 with the Mate desktop, but mate-terminal crashes when we do the following: Start mate-terminal, open a tab (File -> Open Tab) then with the left mouse button drag a tab and drop it in the same terminal window - and the terminal window crashes ... I did a bit of Googling, and found this issue reported in earlier releases of

That may be, but in view of the fact that you can even get a version of CDE that works (very well) on Centos 7 (https://github.com/dcantrell/cderpm if you're interested), I find it

My wife bought a new Thinkpad, on which we had the shop install CentOS 7 (I *think* it's 7.3.) Alas!, I didn't think to specify NOT Gnome, in thunder. So of course I got it. I've tried several times to force myself to accommodate Gnome3, always with no joy. How do I get Mate or Xfce instead? Related problem: when I become root and tell it "yum update," it figures out
