Hi folks, as the next release is approaching fast, I thought it would be nice to have MATE 1.24 in. Compared to other desktop environments (hi GNOME) updating is straight forward.
I tested MATE 1.24 in a VM. There are two problems: * MATE suffers from https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/38135, so you can't start any applications from the menu. This is a MAJOR usability bug. The fix for it is in core-updates. * atril requires a newer glib/gio (also in core-updates). I have two branches: https://gitlab.com/jonsger/Guix/-/tree/wip-mate-1.24 based on master https://gitlab.com/jonsger/Guix/-/tree/wip-mate-1.24-co based on core-updates I tried a VM on core-updates, but there are no substitutes. So I can't really built it on my laptop. So I guess we need a core-updates merge before a release, if we wanna have MATE in a "release able" state. ~Jonathan
