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!

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.
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

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
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.
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.

Seems like there are some libraries under /opt/trinity/lib… I don't know

Hi François,
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!
