Time for community-managed infrastructure for TDE stable?
by Mike Bird 04 Aug '19

04 Aug '19

TDE Devs, I hesitate to send this to a do-ocracy when I don't have the time to do it myself but I think this warrants a ping. I rate myself as a software engineer with an excellent track record in (proprietary) database managers, AI, and systems software. I've designed software, lead software teams, and picked up other's failing projects and literally worked and slept in my office to ship on time. But I would never have thought that what Tim did was possible. The solo fork and improvement of TDE was a massive undertaking in which Tim succeeded brilliantly. Whether or not Tim ever touches TDE again I have an enormous respect for his courage, talent, and achievement. But now others have taken up the mantle. The original TDE infrastructure has been broken in various ways for a long time. The stable mirrors have been unable to update for eight months. The trinitydesktop.org domain expires in March and there is no guarantee that the original TDE infrastucture will continue to stumble along even that long. TDE 14.0.7 is currently in PSB. Waiting for 14.0.8 might be too late. I would like to see TDE 14.0.7, either when it goes stable or soon thereafter, on community-managed infrastructure. --Mike

due to unsatisfied /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt for package trinity-tdelibs-14.0.6-1.mga7.x86_64 host big41 Where is this ca-bundle.crt file supposed to come from? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

Bullseye config/update errors
by Felix Miata 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

Are Trinity mirrors not yet adapted to the existence of Bullseye? I'm having no luck finding the instructions page for setting up Debian Testing. :-( All I tried was "sed -i 's/buster/bullseye/g' sources.list" with an old sources list file for Buster. After that generrated 404, I tried switching from bullseye to testing, which gets farther, but not without errors. # apt update Hit:1 http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye InRelease Ign:2 http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb bullseye InRelease Err:3 http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb bullseye Release 404 Not Found [IP: 91.241.23.210 80] Reading package lists...

How to clone with submodules from TDE git mirror?
by Mike Bird 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

With the main git repo often down I decided to try to clone the mirror instead. I used: GIT_ASKPASS=echo git clone --recursive \ https://anonymous@mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde However while it identifies all the submodules from the mirror it tries to fetch the submodules from the main repo and fails (see below). Can anyone tell me the correct magic incantation? Thanks, --Mike Cloning into 'tde'... remote: Counting objects: 96209, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (31922/31922), done. remote: Total 96209 (delta 67543), reused 90043 (delta 62746) Receiving objects: 100% (96209/96209), 33.93 MiB | 1.04 MiB/s, done.

LiveCDs Are Outdated
by Abdurrahman Ayman 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

#1 The List of LiveCDs located at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/LiveCDs are mostly outdated, meaning that they don't contain the latest version of TDE, although the page states "Unless otherwise marked, all of them contain the most recent version of Trinity". If LiveCDs are always gonna be late behind then the previous statement should be removed. #2 Whose working on Ubuntu Releases and Ubuntu Nightly? I'm pretty sure they are not official Ubuntu flavors so they must be community driven, and why are they so late behind with R14.04 version?
