This is my strong objection to mentioning KDE 3 in our 12.1 marketing and release notes. SUSE has a long and undistinguished history of letting noisy tails wag the whole dog, but there is no need for the openSUSE project to continue this.
Martin Gräßlin approaches the problems facing the Trinity fork of KDE 3 in this article at freiesmagazin [1] (German), but to apply his analysis to the KDE:KDE3 packages and our distribution, and for those who don't read German or trust machine translation, my objection comes down to 2 major things.
And I read the article finally in machine translation. The author just criticizes Trinity for instability caused by the translation to tqtinterface and advises to use Debian Lenny with the original KDE 3.5.10 and security fixes. I can agree with the author on this issue: Trinity is indeed quite unstable now that's why I would not recommend including the current Trinity release in openSUSE. In this blog a user describes that he installed himself openSUSE just to test how it works with KDE3, and found it working very well. He admits that Debian's Trinity is less stable, but says he is more accustomed with Debian: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=ru&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fstav-2.livejournal.com%2F24497.html He proposed himself as a translator to Russian and Esperanto to the Trinity team. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
