Hello all, Warning, this is a very long email and it's incomplete as you can't run MATE yet. I have replied to my own thread too to correct the information way below. Anyway, at first check here: http://www.marcuscom.com/pipermail/marcuscom-devel/2012-July/001863.html I have completed the 10 repocopied ports from GNOME to MATE and it's untest in the runtime. There are still many ports left that need to be repocopied. I have listed that what need to be repocopied in the TODO-mate at: http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ports-experimental/TODO-mate The tarballs are available at: http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/1.2/ I have made some change in the bsd.mate.mk from bsd.gnome.mk following removed the features: -HAVE:Mfoo, A lot of users don't know, hide and lacking OPTIONS stuff. It's not difficult to add autocheck in the Makefile without that HAVE:Mfoo anyway. -foo_USE_GNOME_IMPL, we do not maintain it very well. Also it was not easy to track it down for the other maintainers to figure where the dependencies come from. I think it's best to put a complete dependencies in the ports rather than having IMPL doing it for you. -Remove the gnomeprefix and replace it to something like GCONFPREFIX=--gconf=...., so you can put ${MATECONF_PREFIX} in the Makefile's CONFIGURE_ARGS. There will be no gnomeprefix-like. -Remove the referencehack, yes it works great but it's ugly in the every Makefile. I think that's all. Only a feature that has been added is :build and :run. If anyone have something in mind to improvement or else, let me know and I will see what I can do. I will be away for a week on July 8th to 14th. Feel free to flood in my Inbox relate with the MATE stuff. I will check these emails when I return and continue work on more repocopy ports. If you want to help, feel free to do it too. Keep in mind, you will have to study those MATE ports because there is no document at the moment but you can ask me questions.
