Second, adding more of KDE3 to the openSUSE distribution is out of question as long as it is not maintained, and by that I mean the real meaning of the word that includes security fixes and so on, not the mistaken it-builds-so-it-is-fine meaning. Unless Trinity really takes off, KDE3 is not going to make it. You can however create a KDE3 openSUSE spin using the build service.
As of now we established contact with the Trinity team who plays the role of upstream for KDE3 now and take efforts to integrate KDE3 with newer technology such as udisks instead of hal, and modern networkmanager. We exchange patches with them and also we incorporated several security fixes from Red Hat which were not included in openSUSE previously. We are closely monitoring other distributions that include KDE3 such as Alt Linux and Pardus Corporate. We also made some patches ourselves. While packaging Trinity still has a long way to go (mostly because the Trinity project itself in the midst of transition to the cmake build system), it is wrong to say now that KDE3 is unmaintained. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org
