Hi,
I've recently subscribed to Trinity mailing lists, and would like to introduce
myself.
As many others here, I'm a long time KDE user. I don't want to rant about the
current state of KDE4; let's just say that now I feel no more "at home" in
KDE
community.
I like the ideas and spirit of the Trinity project, so I would like to offer
some help in my spare time... which is unfortunately very few. :(
But anyway, at work I maintain a minimal, server-oriented openSUSE derivate
distribution, so I know how to manage RPMs, specfiles, and building problems.
And I've also worked to projects both in C and C++ some years ago, so I hope
to contribute some bug squashing too.
I would like to help with RPM packaging for openSUSE.
In the OBS site I've found the projects by Robert Xu. Are there other efforts
or other people working on it? May I ask what is the current state, and how
can I help?
Sincerely
Andrea Cascio
Hi Andrea, welcome to Trinity!
There are a lot of projects that I have on the OBS, but half of them
are unmaintained, so don't go by them ;)
I've been working on getting much of my work up to speed and working
again after my dev machine crashed. I thought that I would be able to
retrieve a lot of my work, but that didn't happen as much as I thought
to plan >_>;;.
I made a branch on the Trinity Desktop tde-packaging git, you can
check it out on the suse branch. I'll be updating it as I get to
packages.
There are handy macros if you want to help :) I've been taking them
from the KDE:KDE3 repo and restructuring the packages, removing
old/obsoleted patches and other cruft.
I upload them from the GIT to the OBS when I have time. If you need me
to upload anything for building, feel free to ask :) (osc build is a
good option though >_>)
