Hello to everybody,
I want to inform you that for the upcoming maintenance release R14.0.4 the number of supported distributions will be reduced. Will be excluded versions of Ubuntu that are no longer supported. In the same way will be reduced distributions in the Preliminary Stable Builds repository.
Supported distributions:
+ Debian 9 - Stretch (preliminary) + Debian 8 - Jessie + Debian 7 - Wheezy + Debian 6 - Squeeze
+ Raspbian Wheezy
+ Ubuntu 16.10 - Yakkety (preliminary) + Ubuntu 16.04 - Xenial (LTS) + Ubuntu 14.04 - Trusty (LTS) + Ubuntu 12.04 - Precise (LTS) + Ubuntu 10.04 - Lucid (LTS)
Discontinued distribution:
+ Ubuntu 15.10 - Wily + Ubuntu 15.04 - Vivid + Ubuntu 14.10 - Utopic + Ubuntu 13.10 - Saucy + Ubuntu 13.04 - Raring + Ubuntu 12.10 - Quantal + Ubuntu 11.10 - Oneiric + Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty + Ubuntu 10.10 - Maverick
Please, if you use one of discontinued Ubuntu distributions, you should consider upgrading to one of the LTS versions.
Cheers
Will Trinity no longer support any of the RPM-based distros, then?

As far as I know, Slávek only handles Debian-descended distros, not those using other package formats, so his message shouldn't have anything to do with support for RPM distros (or ebuild etc.)

Okay. For clarity, then, it would be nice if the title of the post said "Reducing the number of supported Debian distributions". :-)

Except that he hasn't reduced the number of Debian distributions, he is even still doing Squeeze. So that would have been even more misleading.
E Liddell said Debian DESCENDED distributions. An important distinction. The only things being reduced are Ubuntu. Slávek does say that explicitly. The subject could perhaps have been: "Reducing the number of distributions I support", but Slávek is not a native English speaker. Or perhaps, for full lack of all ambiguity, "Reducing the number of Ubuntu versions I support"
Regular readers of the list know that Slávek isn't the/an rpm supporter.

Okay. I'm not a regular reader yet, but I'm becoming more and more dissatisfied by the direction that KDE has taken to "improve" their desktop, and I'm thinking strongly of switching to TDE on my OpenSuSE machine. I was slightly shocked when I read that title, not understanding that context. Thanks for the clarifications.

Welcome then. :-) Let's hope that you become one!!
I could find official instructions only for Red Hat and Fedora: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases/R14.0.3/
But there are certainly OpenSuSE users.

Not exclusively, but yes I run TDE on several openSUSE machines (13.1, 13.2, did not install Leap yet).

I have 14.0.3 for 42.1 running on three 42.2 installations, and on five 42.1 installations. This (24/7) 42.1 machine is still on KDE3, but I don't expect to be keeping it on KDE3 past 42.1. There's only one significant TDE annoyance compared to KDE3 left, which I hope will be gone by the time I next system upgrade it, but if not I'll either figure out how to live with it, or maybe figure out how to fix it myself by modifying or adding .desktop files (level of menus too shallow).
For RPM distros, a PCLOS with TDE is also maintained. If that's no longer true, I'm going to be very sad!

I thank E. and Lisi for excellent clarification of my announcement. Yes, the changes will only affect Ubuntu distributions. For RPM-based distributions is here François Andriot that manages all RPMs.
I'm sorry for scaring :)
