Hi everyone!
I am an old KDE3/Trinity user. Following my own tradition of upgrading ~2 weeks before release I have successfully upgraded Squeeze to Wheezy. In order to minimize exposure to a 3rd-party repositories I gave a try for KDE 4.8.4 and was not impressed. While KDE received much and more neat usability tweaks, my experience with my own usual use cases was mostly frustrating.
Now that I checked my options, TDE looks very competitive to a modern full-blown desktop environments. Congratulations and thank you for your effort!
So, the question is: when Debian Wheezy repository (of any TDE release) will be ready? Maybe you need help to test one? I am willing to put some effort to get back to TDE by the time of Wheezy release.
P.S. Here is an announcement about passing 100RC bugs milestone: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/03/msg00009.html Right now it's 87 and counting: http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/other/testing.html
Best Regards, Sergey.

I use the nightly builds for Wheezy, I have been testing them in vm's for a while now with, mostly, good results.
I did just switch my workstation to Wheezy and installed the nightly builds, 20/20 hindsight, I should of waited, but it is workable today , more fiddling than I like to do. I think they need more testing for sure, join in :-)
Search the archives for Slávek Banko, he has some repos's of 3.5.13.2 that run on Wheezy,

I have no idea why those repos are neither mentioned on the Trinity web site nor anywhere at the Wiki (at least - I always have to search old mail archives to find them). Therefore here you are:
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu precise main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu precise main
That's for my Ubuntu 12.04. You surely have to adapt for Debian e.g.
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy main

Primarily because of these two reasons:
1.) Slavek's archives are essentially a high quality beta build, not a release build, and therefore can change on a somewhat regular basis and can contain bugs of varying severity at any given instant. When a point release of TDE is made the contents of that archive are copied into the main release archive; for example, someone installing TDE now from the release archive would obtain TDE v3.5.13.1 instead of the original 3.5.13 release.
2.) Those archives are also not mirrored, which unfortunately means terrible download speeds for anyone using them. ;-) As for why not, the official release archive is already several tens of gigabytes, and I don't want to cause problems for those individuals and organisations who have graciously donated mirror space and bandwidth for the TDE project.

Greg, Gerhard, thank you for your responses. I successfully installed TDE from Slávek's ppa and started to fill bugreports.
Regards, Sergey.

Slavek's repository is not R14.0.0, therefore the bug reports should not be coded with that version. You should use the 3.5.13.2 version tag in your bug reports.
Thanks!

Sorry about that. I updated previously submitted bugs.
