Thanks to the fact that I gained sufficient knowledge of maintenance of
Arch packages and repository of binary packages for Arch, it is me who now
maintains pkgbuilds. Likewise, it is me who build binary packages and
maintains official repository of the Trinity packages for ArchLinux. You
may notice that we provide binary packages not only for x86_64, but also
for aarch64, armv7h and powerpc64le. In any case, pkgbuilds are not yet
prepared for all packages under the TDE umbrella.
Whoop!
Go Slávek. Good for you. Packaging TDE for Arch can be a near full-time job
at times. Always being first isn't always a benefit... I recall the gcc 4.6
changes (-fpermissive default removal) nearly killed me as well as the libpng
changes when struct png was encapsulated and no longer directly accessible
through the library. Both changes hitting at about the same time.
I'll have to spin up a new arch install and give it a go. I've been using
fluxbox on all my Arch boxes :) You may want to contact the AUR list and see
about hosting the build files on the Arch gitlab server for AUR. The will
welcome having the desktop available from AUR as well.
