QuickBuild update
by Timothy Pearson 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

All, I have put a significant amount of work into the QuickBuild system over the past week in an attempt to stabilize it and increase performance. While I am aware that there were some outages in random components (most notably the PPA mirror redirects) while I was doing this, all issues should be resolved at this point. As of this writing four build machines are online, one for each architecture. As we have reached the chiller fund goal (see prior messages) the remaining x86/amd64 build machines will be brought back online over the next couple weeks. Please let me know what you think, and definitely let me know if anything is still malfunctioning! Tim

R14 hard freeze for RC1
by Timothy Pearson 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, As you can probably see from the activity on the trinity-commits list there have been multiple updates to both the common cmake/admin modules and the icons across the entire tree over the past week or so. This ongoing activity has forced essentially a full archive rebuild for Debian/Ubuntu, our primary supported distributions. I am announcing a ***hard freeze*** for R14 to allow the Debian/Ubuntu rebuild to start generating our RC1 package sets. There are currently three open bug reports blocking Bug 2014; patches that do not relate to those three reports must be discussed on this list and approved by me before being committed to GIT. Additionally, only patches that do not affect the common cmake/admin modules will even be considered at this time. After the RC1 rebuilds are complete this soft freeze will thaw to accept patches for bugs discovered before and during RC1 testing. This thaw will be short lived to allow time for RC2 rebuilds, so all patches should be ready within a week after RC1 release. Each rebuild cycle takes around 2-3 weeks due to the multitude of distributions supported. If no common cmake/admin modules are updated for RC2 the resultant rebuild will take less time. Onwards to the much-fabled R14 release! :-) Tim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iFYEARELAAYFAlQ9WJAACgkQLaxZSoRZrGEBQgDdFjmryG8MwYCFIAb+KP5tpzPQ AnbFoau0HP5VAgDfY+1PLlqolGwxLrYhrr06lSQuKbViZ0VpD5vMHg== =GzuQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

TDE R14 RC2 press release -- Help Needed!
by Timothy Pearson 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, With TDE R14.0.0 RC2 just around the corner I need some assistance with the press release: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/37 Making sure the list of news outlets is up to date (and providing Email addresses) would also be helpful. I am not one who typically consumes open source news so I'm not sure what the best outlets to submit this to would be. I would recommend staying away from Phoronix though as they have a strong pro- Wayland/tablet/phone and anti- traditional desktop computing viewpoint. Historically I seem to end up tied up with release-related tasks and have not been able to get a proper news release out on time (or even at all), so any help with this is much appreciated! Thanks!

tdepim upgrade conflicts
by Michele Calgaro 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Tim, I made a new rebuild yesterday night (everything except the applications folder) and update the system this morning. I encountered dependency conflicts in tdepim. For example: libkcal2b-trinity conflicts with libtdepim1-trinity-dev I can resolve those by removing 3 packages: - kipi-plugins-trinity - libkcal2-trinity-dev - libkcal2b-trinity Until 6 days ago (my previous build) no conflicts whatsoever. Just thought I would let you know. Is it something to be expect due to some recent changes made in between RC1 and RC2? Cheers Michele

TDE R14 RC2 merge window
by Timothy Pearson 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, The merge window for TDE R14 RC2 is now CLOSED. Builds for RC2 are underway and RC2 should be released sometime next week. I still need to repair a recent FTBFS in the Debian/Ubuntu packaging files for tdevelop, so there will be one last commit to the tde-packaging repository soon. I need a list of news sites to submit the RC2 press release to; also any help I could get with writing/editing the press release would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

impressions on exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi all! Just wanted to post my impression of exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso: Everything works as expected - again very good work :-) The only problem I had was that grub did not want to boot if the root-partition is ext4. ext3 works fine, as expected.

tdegraphics dependency on kmrml-trinity seems too strong/unappropriate
by Michele Calgaro 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

All, I noticed today that tdegraphics depends on kmrml-trinity. Is the dependency strictly required or can we remove it and instead add a "suggestion" for kmrml-trinity in tdegraphics? The reason for asking is that kmrml-trinity installs a control module in "system administration" that comes up with a "Cannot find executables gift and/or gift-add-collection.pl in the PATH. Please install the GNU Image Finding Tool" error message is GnuIFT is not installed. I do not use Gift and do no see any need to use it, and the same is true for the associated control module. So I would like to be able to remove the package, but do not want to sacrifice tdegraphics for that. Comments are welcomed. I can take care of the changes if you agree. Cheers Michele
