Hi!
I am planning to install the Trinity desktop on openSUSE Leap 15.2. I have the following questions:
1) On the Instructions website it says: "2. Configure the supplementary PACKMAN repository". I am curious why that is. Do the Trinity packages depend on packages in the PACKMAN repositories or is it so that the most up to date multimedia packages are installed?
2) Is it possible to use the kwin-decor-suse2-0.4.1 style in the Trinity desktop? I understand that KDE3 and Trinity packages cannot coexist, but would it be in principle possible to download the RPM:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/x86_... le-suse2-0.4.1-lp152.57.2.x86_64.rpm
and move the files to folders where Trinity would find them? Or, is there a window decoration style in Trinity that looks similar to SUSE2 decor?
3) What about the font "misc-console"? This used to be available in KDE3, but I do not see a similar package in the Trinity repositories.
Thank you very much in advance for helping me with these questions!

I am planning to install the Trinity desktop on openSUSE Leap 15.2. I have the following questions:
- On the Instructions website it says: "2. Configure the
supplementary PACKMAN repository". I am curious why that is. Do the Trinity packages depend on packages in the PACKMAN repositories or is it so that the most up to date multimedia packages are installed?
You are correct, the Packman repository is required for multimedia libraries only (mostly xine). You should be able to install non-audio/video packages from Trinity without Packman, but I've not tested this scenario.
- Is it possible to use the kwin-decor-suse2-0.4.1 style in the
Trinity desktop? I understand that KDE3 and Trinity packages cannot coexist, but would it be in principle possible to download the RPM:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/x86_...
le-suse2-0.4.1-lp152.57.2.x86_64.rpm
and move the files to folders where Trinity would find them? Or, is there a window decoration style in Trinity that looks similar to SUSE2 decor?
No, this won't work. Any package related to kde3 libraries should be patched/rebuilt from source for the Trinity desktop. In theory, any KDE3 package can be patched/rebuilt for Trinity. I don't know if there is something like Suse2 in available decorations.
If you want some KDE3 packages to be made available in Trinity, you can submit packaging request here: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues
- What about the font "misc-console"? This used to be available in
KDE3, but I do not see a similar package in the Trinity repositories.
This package does not exist in Trinity currently. Unlike 99% of the packages mentioned in previous question, you may probably install this package then move the file from /opt/kde3/share/fonts/ to /opt/trinity/share/fonts/
Thank you very much in advance for helping me with these questions!

I always end up installing Packman since I need some multimedia applications (VLC, mplayer, etc.). So I may just do it the same way as was tested. After configuring the Packman repositories, did you also switch vendor (to Packman) as recommended on the openSUSE website? I have always been nervous about doing this, but I guess it involves only multimedia packages.

I will do this.

What sort of executables are contained in a style package? Some sort of gadget behaviour code?

openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64 Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.9 tde-config: 1.0
Seems like there are some libraries under /opt/trinity/lib… I don't know the tool to do this with rpm but in debian it is easy to look up, for instance:
$ dpkg -L tde-style-qtcurve-trinity /. /opt /opt/trinity /opt/trinity/lib /opt/trinity/lib/trinity /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins/styles /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins/styles/qtcurve.la /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins/styles/qtcurve.so /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/tdestyle_qtcurve_config.la /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/tdestyle_qtcurve_config.so /opt/trinity/share /opt/trinity/share/apps /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Agua.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Agua_II.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Breeze.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Curve.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Dull_Glass.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Eva_Rounded.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Flat.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Human.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Inverted.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Klearlooks.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Milk.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Murrine.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Ozone.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Plain.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Plastic.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Shiny_Glass.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/QtCurve/Silk.qtcurve /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/color-schemes /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/color-schemes/QtCurve.kcsrc /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdestyle /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdestyle/themes /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdestyle/themes/qtcurve.themerc /opt/trinity/share/locale /opt/trinity/share/locale/de /opt/trinity/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES /opt/trinity/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/qtcurve.mo /opt/trinity/share/locale/tr /opt/trinity/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES /opt/trinity/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/qtcurve.mo /usr /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/tde-style-qtcurve-trinity /usr/share/doc/tde-style-qtcurve-trinity/README /usr/share/doc/tde-style-qtcurve-trinity/TODO /usr/share/doc/tde-style-qtcurve-trinity/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/tde-style-qtcurve-trinity/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/tde-style-qtcurve-trinity/copyright

Hi François,
- Is it possible to use the kwin-decor-suse2-0.4.1 style in the Trinity
desktop? I understand that KDE3 and Trinity packages cannot coexist, but would it be in principle possible to download the RPM:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/x86_... le-suse2-0.4.1-lp152.57.2.x86_64.rpm
and move the files to folders where Trinity would find them? Or, is there a window decoration style in Trinity that looks similar to SUSE2 decor?
No, this won't work. Any package related to kde3 libraries should be patched/rebuilt from source for the Trinity desktop. In theory, any KDE3 package can be patched/rebuilt for Trinity. I don't know if there is something like Suse2 in available decorations.
If you want some KDE3 packages to be made available in Trinity, you can submit packaging request here: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues
- What about the font "misc-console"? This used to be available in KDE3,
but I do not see a similar package in the Trinity repositories.
This package does not exist in Trinity currently. Unlike 99% of the packages mentioned in previous question, you may probably install this package then move the file from /opt/kde3/share/fonts/ to /opt/trinity/share/fonts/
I was actually able to select "Misc Console" from the fonts list under Settings in trinity-konsole. So it seems that it is already part of the Trinity desktop.
Thanks!
Gianluca
