What is this? Just curious

Has anyone tried this? What will it do (besides break things)?

@anon42388993,

looks like it is for Ubuntu MATE Experimental software, as it states, don’t use it unless you really know what you are doing!. :smiley:

Right now, it contains “bleeding edge” packages for ubuntu-mate-welcome, ubuntu-mate-artwork and ubuntu-mate-settings.

@Wimpy suggested to me to add it to check it out the latest changes in 16.04. Of course, that was done in a test virtual machine. :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t add it on your main machines, just in case anything “experiential” (breakable) gets put in there… :wink:

Got a VM for that kind of stuff :slight_smile: But ..

it sounds like no further testing needed for now.

Thanks guys

I can personally guarantee I break that PPA every so often. Anything stable from there will get promoted to one of the “MATE for…” PPAs.
