That's nice to hear!
1. Are there any apps that have not been converted to cmake?
The majority have NOT been converted, but the automake build system has
been repaired for the remaining apps and therefore works perfectly with
the latest versions of Autotools. The main ones that are production ready
are:
tqtinterface
arts
kdelibs
kdebase
Others have been converted but I am not using the CMake versions of them
in the Debian/Ubuntu builds, so I cannot vouch for
completeness/correctness of the build files.
I can vouch however. I have almost exclusively been building with
cmake and it has worked like a charm! :) there may be some small
problems with it, but I have not noticed any. In fact we recently just
got a patch in for kdeartwork from Fat-Zer, so there is still active
progress on it.
Well the how to build page should provide good guidance.
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild. The
section on cmake should be accurate, just make sure to double check
your paths. It is key to keep everything together, so I suggest using
our standard /opt/trinity as install prefix.
Excited for the release,

2. Has the
wiki been updated/reviewed so newcomers don't get lost building
packages? (I have been out of the loop for a long time and I would like to
try to build packages soon.)
Calvin, how is our Wiki on this subject? Do you mind putting up some
pointers?
