    Are MATE Custom Builds Still Possible...

    now that mate-desktop.org has removed the Debian repos? I tried it with the Debian Backports repo enabled on a VM install of 1.0.9, but the build failed with libgnutls28 dependency errors. The only documentation or example I've seen utilize the old mate-desktop.org repos. Any insight is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I just checked the debian repos (wheezy-backports and sid)

    It's in both. Replace instances of "deb http://repo.mate-desktop.org/debian wheezy main" with "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main" in your guides and give that a try.

    That's what I tried to do initially when I got the libgnutls28 dependency errors. IIRC, it seemed like the build failed because it was trying to use the newer libgnutls28 from Debian Backports but trying to satisfy the deps with older packages from the default Kali repos.

    I've since built and installed a custom version with KDE but intend to keep trying for a MATE build. Still open to advice...
    Thanks,
