Hi, Martin, thank you for willing to offer help. > We'd be interested in finding out why forking all those components is > required and if we can do something in MATE to reduce that effort.

Ukui-panel is utilized to fit the layout for ukui-menu. Mate-utils and mate-power-manager are dependent on mate-panel, so we had to fork them. What is more, a desktop environment must have it's own session-manager, so we forked mate-session-manager. Maybe we can cut mate-utils and mate-power-manager with your help. :)
> what did you fork from exactly? We forked from the debian source packages in Ubuntu yakkety archive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1663477 Title: [needs-packaging] UKUI desktop environment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntukylin/+bug/1663477/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
