I notice the developer's wiki has been updated and

I am building qt3 from the original 3.3.8b sources and
applying my own patches. That approach worked okay last spring.
I presume any patches applied in the past no longer
are needed because they are included in the Trinity sources.
Problem is I don't see a tarball for the Trinity
sources. I don't know how to use git.
I would appreciate somebody updating the wiki to
provide some guidance. :) Or provide sufficient details here, which later can be added to the wiki.
Thanks.

you definitely need to use the version from git. you are right that we need to make some notes in the wiki about it as well.
What you need to do is "clone" the tde repository:
git clone http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde
that should be all. from there the building is pretty simple. qt3 is in main/dependencies/qt3
If you want to add a note to the Wiki on the how to build page, that would be great :)

I appreciate the response but suddenly I'm knee deep.
Everything becomes "simple" with experience and knowledge. :) I have neither with building qt3 from these new sources.
To where do I save this git repository? Currently I have a segregated build directory where I store Trinity SVN.
If I run the git clone command, how much am I downloading? MBs? GBs?
Am I supposed to be building all packages from git or only qt3?
I would update the wiki (and have several times in the past), but I haven't a clue about what I am doing. This all might be old news to those of you who have been doing this for the several months, but I am clueless about what is happening here. :)
Thanks.
