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:
1. To repair a crash
2. 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:
1. Changes to log messages, including warning and informational messages.
2. 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!

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.
Need to get 82.2kB of archives.
After this operation, 233kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.
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.

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

thought that I'd at least share our experience - John

Entering the '(semi)concerted troubleshooting' phase, except without the skill
level :-)
thanks again.
