Where I represented Trinity?
Not that much. Which functionality has been removed?
(I actually do not want to defend my work here, I even do not want you to use my patch,
write your own, best one).
Then I will puvblicly explain your Trinity's serious problems :-)
Trinity is
KDE3. You did not anything special yet to say Trinity is not
KDE3.
Porting to cmake does not suffice.
Sometime try reading our patch list--it's
right on the TDE homepage under
"Patches". Then come back with specific questions based on your newfound
knowledge. > >

I must ask you officially to stop "representing" the Trinity project when
you are not (and have never been) authorized to do so. You are apparently
doing great damage to this project and if it continues I will be forced to
publicly deal with your incorrect claims.
No need. I will announce myself that Trinity rejected cooperation.
Look, KDE:KDE3
has MUCH more patches than your Trinity has if you are
inclined
to compare and attack us. Trinity still depends on deprecated HAL, for
example.
You "fixed" the HAL dependency by removing much of the functionality that
relied on HAL! That is a terrible way to handle an open source project.
What's next, removing the desktop entirely because it relies on Qt3?!? If KDE:KDE3
does not fulfill the criteria, then Trinity does not fulfill
either.
You are making baseless accusations here. Either stop this behaviour
immediately or I will ban you from these lists with a public explanation
of both your trolling behavior and the KDE:KDE3 repository's serious
problems.
