Hi all,
Chromium on my machine suddenly began to open PDF files in the GV. I began to
wonder why and found that they follow entries in the file /etc/mailcap. It is
generated automatically by update-mime using files in /usr/lib/mime. But some
files are installed into /opt/trinity/lib/mime.
I think we should fix that instead of /opt/trinity/lib/mime were all installed
in /usr/lib/mime. What do you think?

Hello, a little message to inform you that TDE 3.5.13 (+some updates) is
successfully compiled and packaged for Fedora 17 (gcc 4.7), i386 and x86_64.
Now some work for Tim or anyone with sufficient access :-)
Can you please:
- Add Fedora 16 and Fedora 17 on the main page:
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/
- Add Fedora 17 to the download instructions page:
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#redhat (copy/paste Fedora
16, replace f16 with f17 ...)
- Enable the replication of the "f17" folder from my server to the TDE
mirrors.
I hope that we freeze a TDE 3.5.13.1 very soon so that I can build a
Fedora 17 liveCD with the latest stable TDE version.
Thanks
François
Looking for confirmation:
When I change the icon theme (KControl->Appearance & Themes->Icons), most of the icons change immediately but not all. I have to restart Trinity to force all icons on the desktop to update to the new theme.
The kwikdisk icon is particularly persnickety at not changing without a Trinity restart.
I do not have sessions enabled during this testing. I delete the ksycoca cache each time before restarting Trinity.
Rarely (I can't repeat) Konqueror icons do not always immediately change either (I have the Konqueror preload option enabled, if that makes a difference). Although almost all of the time the konqueror icons do update immediately.

Darrell,
I think your push is still trickling into the servers. I pulled 804 deltas a
couple of hours ago assuming that was the complete patch set, but I just checked
again and there is another 38 deltas in this pull. I don't know how long a patch
set takes to find its final place of rest, but I guess I'll give it another pull
in the morning to make sure.

We have a small team. Keeping Trinity moving forward is a challenge. Yet I believe we have a committed and dedicated team, small or not, and somehow we keep moving forward.
I don't expect people to give up their day jobs to support Trinity, but I found this article interesting:
http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Independent-software-developers-go-f…
I don't know what fund raising ideas we can use. Selling shirts and coffee cups requires serious overhead and personnel. Yet sometimes I wonder what we could do to keep Trinity moving at a nice speed.
Another idea I had today came from an RSS feed title:
"KDE SC 4.8.4 delivers monthly stabilization update"
After we release R14.0.0, I'm wondering whether we could do something similar. Every month or so we release a point release for Trinity that includes bug fixes and possibly one enhancement request.
Even if we push only two or three bug fixes, this monthly release would show the project is alive and well. A monthly stablization release also is great public relations because the various news people publish those press releases.
A monthly release does not mean a complete overhaul of the mirrors, etc. We would need only resync those packages that change. At three or four bug resolutions that likely would mean only a package or two changes.
A monthly stablization release will be much easier to manage after R14 than trying to backport patches for 3.5.13 because much changed between R14 and 3.5.13. After R14 we should be quite stable (ABI/API) and monthly bug patches should be easy to coordinate among packagers.
Just ideas and thoughts.

Would somebody please confirm that the icons used in k9copy are unreadable?
You do not have to have k9copy installed. Use your local GIT sources and try to view the icons:
applications/k9copy/tree/src/icons
I am unable to view the icons.
In the installed version of k9copy, the icons in the Settings menu are blank, which is how I discovered the problem.
I can view all of the icons from the original 1.2.4 sources.
I think somehow the images in the GIT tree have become corrupted. Comparing file sizes between the two source sets shows the files are not the same size.
Fixing the problem is as easy as copying the images from the original sources. I have tested by rebuilding k9copy with the original image files and the Settings images were fine.
I just want confirmation before pushing anything to GIT.
Thanks!
Darrell
