All,
Is this project still actively maintained? It appears to have been a while since the last update.
Are there any new development goals planned?
Would any of you be interested in migrating this to openSUSE Open Build Service to automate the packaging and distribution for multiple distributions?
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Build_Service
The reason I ask is because we have some community member in openSUSE that are intentionally using EOL versions of openSUSE to avoid KDE 4 for as long as possible. I would like to make TDE a openSUSE desktop option for them with a OBS repo.
This could hopefully help all of you pick up some additional developers as well.
Thanks
Tim
Yes it's still active.
check out the current commits: http://trinitydesktop.org/patches/
from an outside perspective there are 4-6 active developers maintainers and contributors working to improve the project.
Robert Xu was formerly heading up inquiry into OBS and also integrating TDE into OpenSuSe, but well life got in the way. Right now he's successfully navigating himself through college. His irc nick on freenode is @Xu_R if you want to see what he worked on.

Yes it is; as Calvin mentioned take a look at our GIT tree--there are changes going in practically every day.
Are there any new development goals planned?
We are trying to get R14 out the door at this time, with a focus on eliminating as many irritating user-visible bugs (some left over from KDE 3.5.10) as possible. We currently use a meta bug report http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2014) to track our progress; right now it looks like we're around 80% of the way to release.
Would any of you be interested in migrating this to openSUSE Open Build Service to automate the packaging and distribution for multiple distributions?
No need to migrate as we have a sizable build infrastructure here, but if someone wants to add OBS support they should feel free to do so. A word of warning: TDE is huge; even Launchpad cannot support us properly.

Sounds good to me; any takers?

I did not realize that there has already been some talk about this in openSUSE and that a team already exists to continue to maintain KDE 3 presently. It appears they are more interested in staying with what they have now.

Hello,
I'm currently integrating TDE R14 in the opensuse build service. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:PunisherHD:trinity-r14
What I'm doing on OBS: - Building packages without any patch (TDE R14 must be buildable out of the box) - Keeping source code and packaging files in our own GIT - Configuring OBS servers to download the required files from our GIT then build the packages.
It takes me some time to modify the RPM packages, because the "rpmlint" tool for opensuse adds many constraints that I don't have when building on my own computer. And I must remain compatible with other RPM distributions too.
At the moment, I don't know how to make OBS aware of source code change in our GIT, to have automatic rebuild of packages. I must trigger the download/build manually.
Tim, can you please consider adding patches from bug #2133 so that tdeilbs will build on OBS ? Then I can build tdebase and have a minimal working TDE ...
Finally, please be aware that OBS is good but not the ultimate build solution: it lacks support for many distributions.

Sounds good! Very similar to how the automated builds for Debian-based systems work on this end.

Looks like Slavek pushed the patches for me. Thanks Slavek!
Finally, please be aware that OBS is good but not the ultimate build solution: it lacks support for many distributions.
Precisely, but it is a good start. Having a tinderbox of sorts for rpm-based systems is also a good thing.
