Package: tasksel Version: 3.24 Tag: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-mate-t...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi Joey,SynrG on IRC made me aware of MATE not pulling in any display manager when installed via a MATE-flavoured livebuild.
As the MATE pkg-team doesn't want to attach a display manager to close to the mate meta packages (a desktop environment does not necessarily require a display manager to be usable -> e.g. when used via X2Go or VNC, nor does it require a local X11), we'd appreciate it if the display manager (preferably lightdm) could be pulled in via tasksel (task-mate-desktop).
I hope the attached patch is ok. (Does tasksel allow "x-display-manager | lightdm" in Recommends: field?).
