Thanks, Laurent. Problem is not in the packaging itself; I want to
have ability to migrate KDE3 users to something better (read:
something that's not dead upstream), either TDE or KDE4. If the
profiles could be easily migrated from KDE3 to TDE (preferrably with
no more changes than ~/.kde => ~/.tde), it's what I'm searching for. I
don't care about binary or ever source compatibility with KDE3, while
all apps needed are ported to TDE. But I care about existing setups. I
need to know, what can/should be done for seamless migrate from
(possibly heavily tweaked) KDE3 profile to TDE.
I also want to make KDE4 packages co-exist with KDE3/TDE ones. I
already got that it is a work-in-progress. Brief looking at the recent
commits gives me impression that it's already moving fast - cool. :)

WBR,

Anyway, I've seen that
Trinity does not allow easy migration from KDE3, so one of the main
points to port it here is gone.
What's the difficulties you are expecting with the migration? Just do it!
* You need cmake
(http://openports.se/devel/cmake)
* As a beginning, you need to build and install:
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/trinity/releases/3.5.13/dependencies/qt3-3…
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/trinity/releases/3.5.13/dependencies/tqtin…

http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/trinity/releases/3.5.13/kdebase-3.5.13.tar…
* You must copy the content of the kde3 home directory to the new trinity
home directory if you want to preserve personal settings
Take a look at:
