How Trinity is compatible with older apps not ported to tqtinterface? Probably we could combine the Trinity and KDE3 repos in one in

or add all those apps to the Trinity repo? What do you think?
Very close to 100% source compatible.
Whay about binary compatinility? I.e. if one installs Trinity and then adds a KDE3 repo to install some apps from there?
No. The two are NOT binary compatible. kdelibs has changed too much.
I would like to see them in the Trinity SVN and then in the QuickBuild PPA, but I don't have the time right now. Would anyone here like to work on this?
I meant the Trinity repo in OBS. Probably if the apps compatible wi can combine the repos so peple had only to add one.
If you (or another RedHat/OpenSUSE person) want to do that please feel free to do so. Personally I use Ubuntu and Debian and am therefore completely unfamiliar with the RedHat/Fedora/OpenSUSE way of doing things. The only thing I would ask is that the packager please send me a .tar.gz file that compiles against Trinity 3.5.12 so that I may add the new application to SVN.
Thanks!
