Hi all,
After discussions with the core development team, I have realised
that I owe everybody a long overdue update regarding Trinity.
I apologise for the relatively long term silence on these mailing
lists. Like most people, I have to work in order to keep the lights
on and the servers humming, and these commitments have taken time
away from TDE. In particular over the past several months I have not
had any spare time to dedicate to TDE, which is why most development
(other than Slavek's tireless patching) had appeared to grind to a
halt.
I am somewhat confused on how Trinity dev works. I have been using the
14.0 nightlies with Debian Wheezy for quite a few months now. There
always seems to quite a few packages updated. Just yesterday the
following:
'29 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not
upgraded.'
From my experience with Debian, the release of new packages stops, and a
good period of time to test the release. I am a little nervous about
the number of new packages. What triggers new packages?
Packages are updated whenever I manually run the "nightly" autobuild
script; this is *typically* done when I think the GIT tree is in a usable
state and that the resultant packages should work. This should be
automated to run every night (hence the name), but the TDE archive grew
too large for that to be feasible some time ago. I am working on
upgrading the build system to provide a true nightly build, but this is
slow work due to TDE's almost nonexistent financial support. ;-)
