you've mentioned that link several times now and I actually looked at this URL and also the Portal link <https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:MATE>. To be honest, I find this rather confusing. Here are my observations:
a. <https://news.opensuse.org/2014/07/31/mate-1-8-1-available-on-opensuse/>: "That means that next openSUSE version, 13.2, will include MATE Desktop officially! ... We have changed our repository scheme to avoid people having to change their repositories for each update. Everything is now unified in only one repository, X11:MATE:Current, so you don’t have to go through the repo-changing hassle every release."
and
"To install MATE, visit our Portal and utilise the one click install ymp files (simply click on the icons next to the appropriate version)."
If I read and understand this correctly, a user would have to use the "X11:MATE:Current" repository, and installing Mate as a desktop environment must be done by using the one click ymp files (unless you already know which packages must/should be installed).
On the Portal site then:
b. <https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:MATE>:
There are only ymp files for 12.3, 13.1 and Tumbleweed, but none for Factory (or the upcoming 13.2).
As a user wanting to try out Mate, I now would have to download the ymp file closest to Factory and find out, which packages I should install, but not from the "X11:MATE:Current" repository, instead rather using the Factory (or later the 13.2) repository.
Or is there another way to install it? FWIW, there are no mate related patterns, which I had expected... That means Mate is in official Factory repositories Strange answer since it does not match the question.
Let me tell you another story: I've tried to switch my Factory installation from Gnome to Mate and broke it apparently. I can choose mate from the selection but nothing then it's stuck. There is nothing coming up. Since there is no pattern at all for Mate (why???) I had to choose packages manually and apparently failed. Seems that dependencies are broken. Also tried to find some documentation what I actually need to install but failed again.
Wolfgang Sorry but that s an unwanted effect of using Factory. And Im working on patterns. The issues you mentioned have been fixed.
