I appreciate the response but suddenly I'm knee deep.
Everything becomes "simple" with experience and knowledge. :) I have neither
with building qt3 from these new sources.
To where do I save this git repository? Currently I have a segregated build directory
where I store Trinity SVN.
If I run the git clone command, how much am I downloading? MBs? GBs?
Am I supposed to be building all packages from git or only qt3?
I would update the wiki (and have several times in the past), but I haven't a clue
about what I am doing. This all might be old news to those of you who have been doing this
for the several months, but I am clueless about what is happening here. :)
Thanks.

I notice the developer's wiki has been
updated and
mentions that qt3 should be build with Trinity sources
rather than built from distro sources.
I am building qt3 from the original 3.3.8b sources and
applying my own patches.
That approach worked okay last
spring.
I presume any patches applied in the past no longer
are needed because they are
included in the Trinity
sources.
Problem is I don't see a tarball for the Trinity
sources. I don't know how
to use git.
I would appreciate somebody updating the wiki to
provide some guidance. :) Or
provide sufficient details
here, which later can be added to the wiki.
Thanks.

you definitely need to use the version from git. you are
right that we
need to make some notes in the wiki about it as well.
What you need to do is "clone" the tde repository:
git clone http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde
that should be all. from there the building is pretty
simple. qt3 is
in main/dependencies/qt3
If you want to add a note to the Wiki on the how to build
page, that
would be great :)
