I don't think it is a good idea to continue to call Kde 3.5x kdemod3.
While it is named that for historical reasons, it would be best to
just scratch it and use Trinity instead. Trinity is not the crappy old
3.5.10 its better. using kdemod3 just reminds me of old crap. starting
fresh I think is vital.
For now having kait's Trinity arch mirror is good for now, at least
until the 3.5.13 release. Ideally I think it would be best to host the
packages on our server, but that doesn't have to be the case.
Another important thing I am thinking of just as I type is this: All
PKGBUILDs should be online, available in the Trinity SVN repository.
It will keep us united, orginised and effective.

why are we calling it kde3mod? that is
pointless.
We are rebranding kde3 to Trinity. I don't think we should keep it the
same. that causes confusion.
I have started moving the PKGBUILDs to the AUR, which is fine. (the
independant ones not the entire tree) I can maintain them (seeing as
they do not change often, they are SVN builds.)
I think we need to just wait until 3.5.13 is out completely then
switch over. Its only a few months till then and there is much work
that needs to be done on 3.5.12.

I agree,
The reason it is called kdemod3 is what Albert did was to just replace the kde
3.5.10 source with the Trinity 3.5.12 source and then run the kdemod3 master
build script to build it --> resulting in kdemod3 packages instead of trinity
packages.
To fix this, all we need to do is edit ~ 50 PKGBUILD scripts and simply change
the pkgname and remaining variables from kdemod3 to trinity. (a big sed call or
'perl -p -i -e s/kdemod3/trinity/g'. (monkey on the keyboard stuff)
I would also rather work through the 3.5.13 packages and then make the current
release available to Arch rather than pushing 3.5.12 out. But it really makes no
difference. I have setup all my PKGBUIDs to handle the update from either
kdemod3 or an existing trinity version. If 3.5.12 is good and works fine, it
would sure be better than the old 3.5.10 kdemod3 I'm running with broken cups
printing and broken sftp kio, etc.., etc...
I've got spare boxes to throw the 3.5.12 packages on, so I'll see how that
goes before I can really way in one way or the other on putting 3.5.12 up :)
