hi all,
I'm a newcomer to trinity, so I might be using the wrong channel for my question. First of all, let me state that I had grown dissapointed by the trend current linux is going, but I installed the trinity repos just to have the old rosegarden easily installed on my wheezy systems and I just can't believe how lightweight and featureful TDE is. It seems to perform better than the good old KDE3.5
To the point:
Is anybody mantaining the rosegarden version shipping in trinity's repos? I mean, is it expected to report stability bugs on it?
Why did you ship with version 1.7.0 instead of the latest 1.7.x series, 1.7.3 (as per rosegarden's sourceforge)?
I tried compiling Rosegarden 1.7.3 just to see if it was easily achievable, but I got only as far as to point cmake to the tqt3 libs. It fails searching for KDE3's kcfg and whatnot. If this indeed is the correct channel I will provide debugging info.
In a somewhat unrelated topic:
Is it still possible to build KDE3.5 minded applications on trinity? Is there a guide with steps to change the dependencies? In other words, is trinity backwards compatible with KDE3.5?
One other app I'd like to have running is kmiditracker, which depends heavily on KDE3.5.
[rantmode] Thanks for holding this little fortress in the free software world. Many a great code base gets lost everytime someone decides we should be switching to a completely different as soon as something becomes stable enough not to worry about it (as it's happening to KDE4 right now).

Have a good one!
