[opensuse] Tumbleweed with Trinity?
http://en.opensuse.org/Tumbleweed doesn't mention the subject. Is it doable, at least theoretically?

Felix - you are going to be a happy man :) I don't know about the tumbleweed aspect of it, but Ilya Chernykh and Robert Xu (primary packager working Trinity) are working Trinity for OpenSUSE. See: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Abravoall1552%3Atrinit... As you know, Ilya has done a fantastic job keeping KDE3 updated for openSuSE and there effort to bring Trinity packages to openSuSE is well underway. Currently the following KDE3 modules have been ported to cmake and provide a working Trinity desktop (from svn code): tqtinterface (trinity Qt interface - Currently Qt3, but designed for Qt4 use) arts kdelibs kdebase (you can start Trinity after building and installing kdebase) kdevelop kdewebdev (including your favorite Quanta+) The desktop runs very very well. Before building you need to build and install 2 dependencies: Qt3 3.3.8c (patched for TQt: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Developers/Qt3) pyqt3 The main Trinity site is: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/ howtobuild: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild Status on Qt4 conversion: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Developers/TrinityTQtforQt... Also, if you are good with CMake or kde3, then Trinity can use your help. I am currently working on a 'recipe' that will outline conversion of existing kde3 modules to cmake. (I'm still trying to learn cmake, so I don't have details yet) The more help Trinity can get, then the sooner 3.5.13 will be out :) http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists On balance, the Trinity project has made great headway. The group of folks working the project are fun to deal with. There are binaries for Debian, Slackware, Ubuntu built on 3.5.12 and there are binaries from svn (developement packages) for Arch, Mandriva and openSuSE. I have worked Trinity for Arch and have a somewhat more detailed wiki page on Trinity status and what *not* to do when building trinity there: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trinity From all indications, you will have a 'choice' to select ( enlightenment, fluxbox, gnome, *KDE3* [Trinity], KDE4, lxde, etc... ) from the chooser menu for many releases to come. And... that's what Linux is about.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Partly. After seeing you post so much on the Trinity mailing list I assumed there were already Trinity rpms for openSUSE, neglecting to actually examine http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/ before starting this thread.

kdebase (you can start Trinity after building
You can, not me. If I was into building I'd more likely be using Gentoo than openSUSE. I dabbled in building some time back. I have no head for it. My head's into trying what others have built, and looking for breakage and things to improve. So, I went for Tumbleweed without KDE3 or Trinity last night. When public mirrors start showing me Trinity openSUSE rpms, I'll try them too. Even 4.6.1 hasn't fixed the KDE4 bugs that most bother me. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver." Proverbs 16:16 NKJV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
