Web Services Update
by Timothy Pearson 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

I was just informed that the primary Trinity mirror server at http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu has been taken offline permanently. As a result, most TDE binary files and source tarballs are currently unavailable for public access, as the secondary mirror seems to be set up to point to the (offline) primary as of 12/20/2011. All files are intact locally; this is a temporary mirroring failure ONLY. I am working with the remaining mirror maintainers to resolve this issue. Once the mirroring system is back online, any problems encountered should be reported immediately to the trinity-devel mailing list. The Trinity project would like to thank the maintainer of the defunct uidaho.edu server, Dave Lien, for providing our primary mirror for the past couple of years. This mirror server was the fastest and most reliable of the entire system. This event leaves the Trinity project in need of several new mirror sites to ensure reliable operation. If you have an unlimited, fast connection and want to provide a mirror for TDE, please contact Timothy Pearson at kb9vqf(a)pearsoncomputing.net You will need to be able to schedule an rsync pull via cron on a 24 hour interval to be able to provide a mirror. Thank you for your understanding while I sort out the remaining issues! Timothy Pearson Trinity Desktop Project

Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) v3.5.13 Binary Packages
by Timothy Pearson 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

As you are probably aware the Trinity website went dark for a sizable chunk of November 2, 2011. This was due to one of our Internet service provider's fiber optic lines being cut, and all Trinity services have now been restored. However, this event has delayed the publishing of the Trinity 3.5.13 binary packages for all supported distributions. While the complete 3.5.13 source tree is currently available for download, binary packages will not be available for download until Friday, November 4, 2011 at the earliest. The Trinity Desktop Project apologizes for the inconvenience, and hopes that you will enjoy our latest release in a couple days. Timothy Pearson

Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) v3.5.13 Released!
by Timothy Pearson 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Trinity Desktop Environment version 3.5.13 has been released! This version provides significant enhancements to areas such as desktop security, GTK application support, and general usability. You will find a detailed list of upgrades and improvements to the Trinity system here: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13 Installation instructions for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, RedHat, and Slackware are available on the Trinity project home page: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/ If you would like to compile Trinity from source instead of using the prebuilt binaries, instructions are available here: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild And the source itself can be downloaded from the main project Website at: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/ Simply click on the 3.5.13 link on the lower left hand side of the screen. Why upgrade from KDE3.5.10, the latest release available from KDE e.V.? Simply put, Trinity is faster, more secure, and far more feature rich than 3.5.10 ever was! It incorporates the latest patches from multiple KDE enhancement projects, such as OpenSUSE, Chakra, and Ubuntu. If you do find a bug, please don't hesitate to report it to the project bugtracker at http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/ If you would like to connect with other Trinity users and/or developers, or simply want to be informed of the latest updates to the Trinity system, the official project mailing lists are available here: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/mailinglist.php This release was the result of collaboration between several open source developers; their names are listed at http://www.trinitydesktop.org/contributors.php The Trinity project would like to thank them for their support! If you like the Trinity project, why not donate to help keep it alive? Your contributions help fund both the Trinity project infrastructure and the development of new features. Details are available here: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/donate.php Be sure to let us know what you think of this release, and enjoy! Timothy Pearson Trinity Desktop Project NOTE: Binary packages are currently being uploaded to the worldwide mirror system. Sources are already available, however the binaries may take a day or two to become available to all mirrors.

Official binary packages for Debian Squeeze, as well as Ubuntu Lucid through Oneiric will be available at that time.

Trinity Release 3.5.13: Further Notes
by Calvin Morrison 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Hello, Here are some further notes regarding the 3.5.13 release. The release is on schedule for Nov 1st (in 3 days). Now is your last chance to send in patches for the release. After Oct 29th a hard freeze will be in effect. No changes past this point will be made. This is to ensure that packagers have enough time to produce packages. After that the final tarballs will be built for the release. For the 3.5.13 release there will be no Ubuntu LiveCDs. If someone would like to respin a LiveCD for us, we will be happy to host the files. Oneiric packages are built and ready to install. Please report any problems you find. For Oneiric installation instructions: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/NightlyBuilds Lastly, LibreOffice integration will not be available in Oneiric until the creation, submission, and incorporation of patches into the upstream LibreOffice project. Thank you, Calvin Morrison Trinity Desktop Team

Cmake Developers Wanted!
by Timothy Pearson 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hello, Trinity is currently undergoing a conversion from Automake to Cmake. We are making this change because the Automake build scripts have broken with recent versions. Cmake is saner and easier to manage, especially with larger projects, such as Trinity. This conversion is critical to TDE because Automake is a major blocker for the 3.5.13 release. After we have converted to the Cmake system, building and maintaining Trinity should be smoother and simpler. We are looking for anyone with Cmake experience, or anyone willing to learn, to come forward and help us with the conversion to Cmake. Thank you, Calvin Morrison On behalf of the Trinity Development Team
