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

Codebase formatting discussion
by Timothy Pearson 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, This is a follow-up on point #5 from my post earlier this month entitled "TDE GIT thaw, build farm status, and future direction". > Codebase formatting. While this is not a major problem for the users > I have been tripped up more than once by the fact that some portions of > the codebase (twin among others) use a vastly different style of > indentation and bracing, one that is (IMHO) extremely hard to read and/or > modify. This in turn has therefore contributed to many "fix up prior > commit" commits and/or outright regressions in GIT. I greatly prefer > Stroustrup style formatting with hard tab indentation (no space or > combined space/tab indents) and indented public/protected/private blocks. > This style is highly legible, emphasizes the control flow, and produces a > minimal number of non-whitespace difference lines when an if/else block is > modified. All of the new code (thousands and thousands of lines of it) > that I have contributed to TDE have been in this style. I have been > toying with reformatting the entire TDE codebase in one large commit; if > there are no objections I think this step could greatly improve both our > development speed and the overall quality of the codebase; comments and > discussion are welcome. I would like to start converting over the codebase ASAP. I have an automated tool that will do this, but would like some feedback on the style to convert into as reformatting like this is a one-time operation that will not be repeated for the life of the TDE project. As mentioned above I strongly prefer a modified Stroustrup style formatting. Is this acceptable to the other developers, and if not, what would you rather use and why? Thanks!

Tde R14.0.0 packages for PCLinuxOS
by Alexandre 03 Jan '15

03 Jan '15

Hi, I would like to evaluate the possibility of using TDE R14.0.0 on my PCLinuxOS TDE remaster. Are the PCLInuxOS TDE packages ready? I would also like if it is possible to still keep the 3.5.13.2 packages until the next TDE release, since they are ultra stable. Thank you for your hard work on TDE! -Alexandre

Package renames and autoremove
by Mike Bird 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

The upgrade from 3.5.13.2 to R14 includes a lot of package "renames". After a clean i386 Wheezy 3.5.13.2 install of kde-trinity is upgraded to R14 RC2, an "apt-get autoremove" removes 48 transitional dummy packages. This is good. However there are still (roughly) 15 transitional dummy packages whose descriptions say they can be safely uninstalled. All that is preventing them from being uninstalled is two meta packages - kde-trinity and kde-core-trinity. And so the conscientious sysadmin removes the two unnecessary meta packages and the (roughly) 15 remaining transitional dummy packages. And the next "apt-get autoremove" eats 290 packages which is most of Trinity. If you had less than a normal kde-trinity installation of 3.5.13.2 this problem hits you much sooner and without uninstalling any meta packages. What to do? Something in the release notes? --Mike

New mascot for TDE, or no?
by Alexandre 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Hi, Some months ago, a discussion about finding a new mascot for TDE has bee going on. Recently, I bought an HP 620lx palmtop (er, Handheld PC, for non-Psion users) and I installed Jornada Linux Mobility Edition, available at jlime.com I thought that a modified version of their logo could be interesting as a TDE mascot, but I am not sure about the legal aspect of it. Also, what is you opinion on it? I made a quick mockup of what it could be. Have a great Christmas time! -Alexandre

Can't install Fedora 21 R14 packages
by Darrell 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

The wiki is not yet updated for downloading the F21 repo rpm. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/FedoraInstall I was able to figure out the location of the F21 R14 repo rpm. The trinity web site redirect takes me to tde-mirror.yosemite.net, which seems fully populated. Unfortunately, the mirrors list does not include tde-mirror.yosemite.net and yum fails. http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f21 redirects to: http://tde-mirror.yosemite.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f21/ Mirror list: http://tde-mirror.yosemite.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f21/trinity-r14-x86_64.l… None of the sites listed in the mirrors list have Fedora 21 R14 packages. If the mirrors list included tde-mirror.yosemite.net then yum would be able to download packages. Darrell

Small quick in KPersonalizer
by Michele Calgaro 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Tim, when updating to R14.0.0, after the first login KPersonalizer is run. I noticed that it still says "R14.0.0 [DEVELOPMENT]", although Control Center says "R14.0.0" only. I guess the KPersonalizer package was probably carried over from RC2, so it still says "development". Any chance you can rebuild the package with the proper string? After all it is the first thing a new user would see after the first login.

Idea - A simplified TDE install for Debian/Ubuntu
by Alexandre 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Hi, I see that many users has problems while installing TDE on Debian/Ubuntu base system. I wonder if it would be a good idea to create, just as DraftSight CAD does, one big package with a typical TDE install. The user could download the .deb file and just install it, without much complications. -Alexandre

Rules for commit patches to r14.0.x branch
by Slávek Banko 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Hi all, while working on v3.5.13.x was a rule that the patches have always been first pushed to the master branch and then cherry-picked to v3.5.13-sru branch (with necessary modifications). Directly to v3.5.13-sru patches were pushed very rarely - if they were specific to v3.5.13.x. As an example, the current patch for setting the target release in tdelibs. I suppose for r14.0.x branch I will not be alone, who will incorporate patches into this maintenance branch, so I would like to determine, whether we will work also on r14.0.x branch under these rules? Michele, what is your opinion? -- Slávek
