Wrong souce packages

[kolya]

After default installation of Ubuntu Mate 14.10 there is no way to get source packages for Ubuntu mate. Attempting to do 'apt-get source mate-terminal' returns wrong package (probably from ubuntu itself).

This makes debugging and bugreporting more difficult that it should.

Expected behaviour: there should be easy way to get right sources by default.

Thanks!

This will be addressed for 15.04 as we progress to being an official flavour built entirely from the official Ubuntu archive.

Workaround: add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra-ppas.list:

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate-dev/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate-dev/trusty-mate/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/accessibility-dev/ppa/ubuntu trusty main

This is fixed in Ubuntu MATE 15.04.

To be clear, this will be fixed in Ubuntu MATE 15.04 providing we acheive official status. I will not be applying the work around described above in 14.04 or 14.10 but will document the work around in the 14.04 and 14.10 release notes.

Fixed in Ubuntu MATE 15.04 Beta 1.
