Greetings, I have been very happy to be using Trinity for the past year. Though not a Debian fan, at least Trinity has given me back the much more productive KDE3 experience (compared to other DE's), and has run very well. So much better than the other DEs. I see that there was an announcement of a partial port to FreeBSD in 2016. Has anyone made any effort, or better yet had any success, with getting Trinity running on OpenBSD? Is it even remotely possible for an end-user to make the existing source work on OBSD? Or is it only possible if developers put in the effort? I have setup a VM with OBSD to try, but before wading in would appreciate knowing if it is even remotely possible and any pointers for resources to get started doing so on OBSD. Thanks kindly! -Hawke

Hi!
I build my FreeBSD stuff from this git repository (FreeBSD is in the r14.0.x branch, not master): https://anonymous@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-packaging
There's also a openbsd folder in there, but that says "14.0.0". I suggest you just clone the repository and try to build on OpenBSD. No matter if it fails or not, please come back here and post your findings :-)

As suggested by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp, you should give this a try, François made those ports for OpenBSD and I'm craving to know whether if they still work or not.

Hi, as a suggestion to all, we recommend to use the TGW mirror rather than the main mirror address: - - it has higher bandwidth - - it is usually online all the time (recently there have been several outages on main server), - - changes are usually pushed here before being pushed to the main server (they are synced hourly if the main server is u p) - - and mostly, you get the full advantages of the Gitea working framework if you want to discuss issues or need help with some code changes.
TGW https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/
