As of September 21, 2010 a pre-release freeze is being declared for Trinity version 3.5.12.
This means that patches will only be accepted into SVN for the following reasons:
- To repair a crash
- To repair broken functionality, if the patch is very small and impact
to other code is minimal. 3. To disable broken features, if the patch required to repair the broken feature does not fit into category 2 above.
This freeze means that the following patches, among others, will NOT be accepted during the freeze period:
- Changes to log messages, including warning and informational messages.
- User-visible interface changes of any kind.
As with the feature freeze, this freeze will end on October 1, 2010 with the release of 3.5.12.
I encourage everyone to update to the latest SVN release and start testing to ensure that the software is stable and all features work as intended.
Thanks to the Trinity developers for all your hard work!
Timothy Pearson Trinity Desktop Project
Tried to upgrade to the latest on one of our Lenny (plus needed bits from backports and Squeeze) and am experiencing the following:
apt-get update apt-get upgrade Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-data-trinity_4%3a3.5.12-0debian6 +r1177990_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I then did apt-get install kdebase-data-trinity and all seemed to work.
I noticed that kgtk-qt3-trinity was being withheld. I then tried the following with the following results:
jasiii:/# apt-get install kgtk-qt3-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: kgtk-qt3-trinity kgtk-config-icedove kgtk-config-iceweasel Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED: debian-kgtk-trinity kgtk-config-bluefish kgtk-config-eclipse kgtk-config-gimp kgtk-config-inkscape kgtk-config-kino kgtk-config-openoffice kgtk-config-opera-qt3 kgtk-config-scribus The following packages will be upgraded: kgtk-qt3-trinity 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 9 to remove and 54 not upgraded.

I'm certainly looking forward to the stable release. Thanks - John

Due to testing other OS's I'm no longer running Lenny, I'm "looking forward" to a stable version of Trinity for the next Debian stable release "Squeeze", plus an installable ISO, I feel the Development of KDE3 for Squeeze is an important project.
Thanks and keep up the good work,

i only use bits and pieces of kde, the kontact/pim stuff. This works on Lenny and KDE 3.5.10. I use Windowmaker wm and am evaluating the switch to Squeeze and the Trinity stuff. The concept is cool, in practice it isn't integrating seamlessly yet.
The trinity-desktop looks to be complete, though I don't want to switch to a desktop environment.
AFIKCT this list is the only support for Debian users. The Kubuntu/Trinity stuff seems well supported. Are there more Debian uses out there? I saw the original posts to debian-user but don't want to use that list for Trinity stuff.

We had originally only wanted to use KDEPIM. Tim did a fabulous job of greatly enhancing the product to interoperate with Zimbra. However, we (he and I) had so many problems with little niggly, hard to diagnose problems that we ultimately converted to the entire Trinity desktop. That solved most of the problems for us. I would imagine it will take some concerted troubleshooting to figure out exactly which libraries are different in what ways to cause the problems we were seeing when picking and choosing. I know that doesn't really answer your question but thought that I'd at least share our experience - John

Thanks, actually that answers my question perfectly. I am having the same experience you did.
Entering the '(semi)concerted troubleshooting' phase, except without the skill level :-)
thanks again.
