For rpm-based distro, I leave it to Francois to comment on when packages will be ready, since he is the one putting in all the (enormous) effort in maintaining those distros.
I'm just waiting for the sources.
About compiling problems, not sure what you are referring to as "massive problems". Can you be more specific? Also which distro do you want to build TDE for?
I want to build for ArchLinux, and if I succeed, I will publish the PKGBUILD files.
I have just read that the people who tried were not so happy because of the said library difficulties, for example mentioned here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Trinity
In general those, TDE builts pretty well in Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora, CentOS, EL AFAICT.
When the packager did all the work it should run pretty well for sure. :*)
Kind regards, Klaus-Jürgen
