Re: [trinity-users] getting TDE (was: Old machines...)

Lisi Reisz composed on 2016-07-27 17:39 (UTC+0100): I'm not, but as a primarily openSUSE user of other distros primarily for various types of cross pollination and bug testing, getting TDE has always been problematic. All the links on https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases.php omit openSUSE, while openSUSE still offers KDE3. It's easier just to skip it rather than to try to figure out where the download instructions that do exist are hidden when the time comes to do a fresh installation and choose its primary DE. I do have multiple functioning Athlon systems with as much as 1GB RAM, and could try adding or switching to TDE on one or more of their already installed distros, if sufficiently motivated by reasonably accurate download instructions. But, there are problems with existing instructions, e.g.: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases/3.5.13.1/ points to "Official Installation Instructions for RedHat" under the heading "Trinity v3.5.13.1 Release Information" but it points to https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/RedHatInstall which is only about 14.0.x. It's mostly good that only the current release is pointed to, but there are reasons to have a bit more flexibility, and probably to remove obsolete links and directions (but, like with most wikis, that breaks the PURL[1] concept "Cool URIs don't change"[2]). As it's a wiki, I could help fix it up, but there's an obstacle: links to pages for setting up sources need to be accurate, and thus verifiable, both as to their presence, and their *absence*. The way the mirror system is set up now, redirects make that impossible in any fashion I'm familiar with.
