TDE metapackages location updated
by Michele Calgaro 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Quick note for developers/packagers. Meta packages in TDE code were located in two subfolders (defaultsettings and metapackages). They have now been consolidated into the metapackages folder. "defaultsettings" does not exist any longer. Cheers Michele

[suse] why does trinity-tdelibs require wicked?
by Felix Miata 29 Jul '21

29 Jul '21

Wicked and NetworkManager are both unnecessary when using systemd-networkd, which I do in all Tumbleweed and 15.3 installations. Most TDE packages will not install without wicked installed, which seems to be hung on libtdecore.so* from trinity-tdelibs requiring wicked. What's so special about wicked that systemd-networkd isn't good enough network support to enable basic TDE/TDM packages to install? After re-installing wicked I was able to get another 69 Trinity packages installed. Afterward I force removed wicked, before starting TDM or a TDE session. Zypper -v produces no complaint about missing wicked. Rpm -q -R trinity-tdelibs output does not include wicked in output. TDM and TDE are apparently working as expected. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

Status of TDE ARK timestamp for files in ZIP archive.
by Alec Destry 28 Jul '21

28 Jul '21

Unzip (unzip-5.52-77.x86_64.rpm), some years ago, when listing files in an archive, showed the timestamp for those files in the format of MM-DD-YY. The latest versions of unzip (unzip-6.00-89.1.x86_64.rpm), when listing files in an archive, shows the timestamp for those files in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. This change in how unzip shows timestamps has caused KDE3.5.10 ARK to show a messed up timestamp when viewing a ZIP archive using the latest versions of unzip. Rolling back to the older version of unzip gets rid of the problem. However, that could create other problems. Has this been fixed in TDE? Does TDE ARK show a valid timestamp when viewing a ZIP archive using the latest versions of unzip?

TDE with Debian Bullseye
by Mike Bird 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

Debian Bullseye is in deep freeze and scheduled for release 08/14. Often I wait until after release but this happened to be a good weekend for me to start testing Bullseye. The non-TDE parts went much smoother than usual. The only minor difficulty thus far was switching routing from Quagga to FRR. I see there's a TDE Bullseye version in trinity-sb. However if I test this I'd like to get back onto TDE stable as soon as possible. Any thoughts please on if I try trinity-sb/bullseye how much time or how difficult will it be to get back to TDE stable with Bullseye? Thanks, --Mike

[mageia] bad/invalid signatures
by Felix Miata 21 Jul '21

21 Jul '21

I'm not sure whether all packages suffer this, or just most, but it's annoying for updating to keep getting interrupted. This has been going on for weeks, if not months. Current instance is on host gx280 32bit Mageia 7. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

[mageia] bad trinity-tdelibs-14.0.10-1.mga8.x86_64.rpm
by Felix Miata 17 Jul '21

17 Jul '21

http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_… refuses to install via urpmi, which claims bad MD5SUM file for both x86_64 and noarch. Fetched with wget, rpm had no problem upgrading from the installed mga7 version. While on the subject of Mageia, when installing or upgrading, screen output during installation or upgrading is quite different for TDE packages vs. packages from other repos. Standard package fetch and install are accompanied by no blank lines output. With TDE packages around 5 out of 8 output lines are blanks, so roughly 2/3 of visual output is blank lines. This has been happening too long to remember, but for certain back into last year if not before. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
