Trinity 3.5.12 has been released!
Those who are not signed up to the trinity-announce mailing list may want
to read the 3.5.12 release announcement here:
http://trinity-announce.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::5
Developers: this means the SVN has been thawed and all types of source
patches are now accepted again.
We need to set a direction for the Trinity project and the next release.
I have put some suggestions on the project road map here:
http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Developers/RoadMap
Over the next couple of weeks we should hash out what is important to the
next release and what is not. The bug repairs are non-negotiable for
3.5.13; I would like everyone here to chip in some and help get those bugs
under control if possible. Anyone can access a list of all bugs via this
link:
http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL
Everything else is up for grabs, so be sure to weigh in on what you think
is important to see in Trinity over the next 6 months!
Developers who do not yet have write access to the Wiki should contact me
with their username and I will grant them write access.
When patching bugs, please assign the bug to yourself before starting work
on it. This will avoid duplication of effort caused by multiple
developers working on the same bug while not knowing of the others'
efforts.
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered; with any luck this will be the
best release of Trinity to date!

The package builds and seems to contain the expected files. Package installs and appears in KControl. Yet many warning messages.
Log attached.
===========================================================
-- WARNING: you are using the obsolete 'PKGCONFIG' macro use FindPkgConfig
Is this warning important? Is there anything I can do about this warning?
===========================================================
-- PKGCONFIG() indicates that libbonoboui-2.0 is not installed (install the package which contains libbonoboui-2.0.pc if you want to support this feature)
-- bonoboui not found. Some features of the theme engine will not work as intended.
There is a non-stock build script available for libbonoboui. The dependency chain includes libgnome, libbonobo, libgnomecanvas, gnome-vfs, GConf2, gnome-mime-data, avahi, ORBit2. Possibly more. To many Slackers that is considered a lot of cruft. Therefore, exactly what features are lost by not having libbonoboui installed when building gtk-qt-engine?
===========================================================
There are many "warning: unused parameter" messages.
===========================================================
/dev/shm/applications/gtk-qt-engine/src/qt_qt_wrapper.cpp: In function 'void drawArrow(GdkWindow*, GtkStyle*, GtkStateType, GtkArrowType, int, int, int, int)':
/dev/shm/applications/gtk-qt-engine/src/qt_qt_wrapper.cpp:1698: warning: 'element' may be used uninitialized in this function
[I built the package in tmpfs, hence the reference to /dev/shm. I am focusing on the warning messages.]

The "My Documents" device icon dialog box was broken but partially repaired in SVN 1176545.
The dialog box no longer appears, but when the $HOME/Documents directory does not exist then Konqueror opens with an error message.
The Konqueror error message indirectly reveals the solution to competant computer users, but might not be obvious to the less technically inclined.
Similar behavior is found when selecting "Documents Folder" from the K-Menu, which results in an error message that the $HOME/Documents does not exist.
A more elegant solution for both would be to provide a Yes/No/Cancel dialog box stating the directory does not exist and asking permission to create the directory.
I think $HOME/Documents is specified somewhere as a default, but any associated dialog box should provide a text box allowing more technically inclined users to change the location of that path.

Hi,
So, with Trinity 3.5.12 nearing, it's time for me to update the BLFS
books with Trinity
and create RPM spec files from them.
So, what configure options did everyone use? I know I mentioned it
before, but it's probably easier to have one central place
so we can compare what options and why.
(Here. :D )

After updating my build scripts to support the tarball naming and compression scheme, I started another build run.
kdebase-3.5.12.tar.gz FTBFS.
My apologies for incorrectly referencing kdelibs in a previous post.
I can include a big log, but I think the error is clear:
make[4]: Entering directory `/dev/shm/kdebase/kcontrol/energy/pics'
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `energybig.png', needed by `all-am'. Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/kdebase/kcontrol/energy/pics'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/kdebase/kcontrol/energy'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/kdebase/kcontrol'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/dev/shm/kdebase'
make: *** [all] Error 2
The energybig.png pic is in SVN but not the 3.5.12 tarball. I downloaded that earlier file today. Just to be sure, I again downloaded the tarball a couple of minutes ago and there is no such png file.

I have created a set of pre-release source tarballs for Trinity 3.5.12.
They are currently publishing to the mirror, and should be available
within 48 hours from this link:
http://ppa2.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/redirect.php?file=releases/3.5.…
If no issues are found in the next four days, there is a very good chance
these files will become the final release.
Please keep this information on this list for now; I am releasing the
files early for testing purposes only, not for general consumption.
Thanks!
Tim
