This totals over a hundred ports. He recently updated a large number of the base ports on which Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate, and applications for all of them depend. I'm sure that he would really appreciate help, but until he gets it, I imagine that Gnome will e the first priority, Cinnamon second, and Mate bringing up- the rear. As a Mate user, I'd love to see Mate get more attention, but it is beyond my limited coding skills and I'm pretty sure that Gnome and Cinnamon are most popular. I know he is aware of the status of Mate and, now that the base ports (mostly libraries) are updated, I am hoping for an update. Support is almost all from volunteers. The foundation only hires people ot work on the most critical and complex issues and if nobody with the capability can dedicate the time, it simply does not happen. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
