Will Trinity be available for openSUSE?
-- Jan Litwiñski
While we aim to provide sources that are compatible with all distributions, we currently lack the developers required to create binary packages for OpenSUSE. There was some discussion a long time ago on these lists regarding the possibility for the existing KDE3 maintainers to switch to TDE, however they decided that they did not want to do this. If I remember correctly, this decision was largely due to the fact that TDE is actively developed and therefore is no longer binary- (and in some cases source-) compatible with applications from the KDE 3.5.10 era.

Hello, does anyone knows the status of the packaging files for opensuse in our Git ? It looks pretty advanced, but is it maintained or abandoned ?
I will look into building Suse packages, but I wonder if it's worth trying using the current opensuse build script, or if I should use my owns ...

They're maintained on my local vm atm. Sorry, don't want to push until I get at least a working tdebase.

Can you try using your own? Mine is just an updated version from KDE:KDE3, because I wanted an upgrade path; so they're not from scratch.
Additionally, I haven't updated my specs in about a month trying to get tqt3 to compile.

Robert,
I see that you're trying for R14. You will also prepare 3.5.13.1?
Planning to, but I don't think I'll have them ready in time for 3.5.13.1 release. (To be honest, I don't have much time as I would like or thought I would have.)

Hello, here is my TDE 3.5.13 test build for Opensuse 12.2 x86_64. For now, I've built up to tdebase only.
The following commands should do the trick to install tdebase: # zypper addrepo -t YUM http://trinity.mangafrance.com/opensuse12.2/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/x86_64/ trinity-3.5.13 # zypper addrepo -t YUM http://trinity.mangafrance.com/opensuse12.2/trinity-extras/RPMS/x86_64/ trinity-extras # zypper install trinity-tdebase Note: when it complains about unsigned packages, just answer "yes" to ignore and continue.
Notes: - Only QT3 package is based on the original opensuse 12.2 package, updated to 3.3.8d . - I've taken binary packages for HAL 0.5.14 from the opensuse-kde3 repository. - All other packages are based on Trinity's RHEL/Fedora packaging, with very tiny modifications for OpenSuse. It's not based on opensuse-kde3. - Installing QT 3.3.8d will update Opensuse's QT 3.3.8c and will likely break KDE3 if it is installed, sorry for that.
And yes, I know, the first feedback I will get is "hey, why are there no i386 packages ?". The answer is: if I had built i386 packages, the first feedback would have been "hey, why are there no x86_64 packages ?" :-) I will build i586 tomorrow.

Have fun

:D Did you use the open build service (build.opensuse.org) to build these? (I'm assuming not) And these are for 3.5.13 stock, correct?

No I don't use openbuild, I build everything on my own computer. I will have a look to this service if it can help me.
The packages are 3.5.13 + selected updates from GIT. It's not based on 3.5.13-sru GIT branch but very close. I will stop maintaining my own updates myself when 3.5.13.1 is released.

And now the i586 packages:
# zypper addrepo -t YUM http://trinity.mangafrance.com/opensuse12.2/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/i586/trinity... # zypper addrepo -t YUM http://trinity.mangafrance.com/opensuse12.2/trinity-extras/RPMS/i586/trinity... # zypper install trinity-tdebase Note: when it complains about unsigned packages, just answer "yes" to ignore and continue.
Happy testing

A quick status update for openSUSE packages awaiters: I've just finished to build all TDE 3.5.13.1 core packages for openSUSE 12.2, both i586 and x86_64. I will now build the applications (amarok, k3b ...) .
So the short answer is "yes", Trinity 3.5.13.1 will be available for openSUSE in a few days.

François,
thank you, that's good news. It seems that it could succeed in sync with the official announcement 3.5.13.1.

Wow, I used openSUSE for almost six years and waited for Trinity packages to be released since TDE project was announced. Becuase there were no packages I switched to Debian... three days ago. I guess that you guys deserve a big Thank You for NOT releasing these packages earlier. It made me install Debian once again. I planned this for quite a long time, mostly because Debian is community-driven (I dislike Novell for their unclear connections with MS). Apart from the ideological point of view, I must say that I haven't had this much joy of using Lunux for many years. Debian is great and Trinity makes it an almost perfect OS.
