OK.
Hi
people, I just want to announce that we at OpenSUSE have got a new
KDE3-related list, opensuse-kde3(a)opensuse.org
Anyone who wants to subscribe send please a message to
opensuse-kde3+subscribe(a)opensuse.org
On this topic, do you know of any OpenSUSE developers that might be
willing to package the Trinity sources for OpenSUSE?
But if you want to promote Trinity wider OpenSUSE build service is
excellent:
it allows to build packages for OpenSUSE as well as Fedora, Mandriva and
even
Ubuntu. The sources can be automatically downloaded from SVN.
OK, that is understandable. As I mentioned before I have no real
knowledge of the OpenSUSE world.
Last I checked they
were not too receptive to the idea, but one of the main enhancement
requests I get is to generate Fedora/OpenSUSE RPM packages. I can
provide
the build systems;
The only thing OpenSUSE people need less than anything is a build service
:-) all they would need to provide are the control
files
and an example build script or command.
There are many Qt3 and KDE3 applications which are unpackaged besides
Trinity. Also I doubt old spec files from KDE3 would fit for
Trinity: sometimes a package has hundreds of patches, for example,
kdebase3
has 241 patch in OpenSUSE (and about 30 additional sources), which may be
incompatible with Trinity. Also on this topic, I would prefer to merge the
OpenSUSE changes into
the
Trinity SVN so as to keep a central location for KDE3 development,
instead
of creating two independent islands of development over time.
Just thought I would mention it, since you know the OpenSUSE community
better than I do.
