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.

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

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

Hi everyone!

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.

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!
