For most applications, moving ~/.kde to ~/.trinity and replacing all
instances of .kde with .trinity in the ~/.trinity folder will suffice.
There are a few "gotchas" to be aware of (listed somewhat poorly on the
Etherpad), but they do not come up very frequently in practice.

Thanks, Laurent. Problem is not in the packaging itself; I want to
have ability to migrate KDE3 users to something better (read:
something that's not dead upstream), either TDE or KDE4. If the
profiles could be easily migrated from KDE3 to TDE (preferrably with
no more changes than ~/.kde => ~/.tde), it's what I'm searching for.
Anyway, I've seen that
Trinity does not allow easy migration from KDE3, so one of the main
points to port it here is gone.
What's the difficulties you are expecting with the migration? Just do
it!
* You need cmake
 (http://openports.se/devel/cmake)
* As a beginning, you need to build and install:

* You must copy the content of the kde3 home directory to the new
trinity
 home directory if you want to preserve personal settings
