Re: [trinity-devel] Opinion of Trinity R14.0.0

Perhaps the following version is a little >better: I understand your feelings. :) A goal of a press release is to offer a positive spin and focus on the announced product rather than what other products lack. We want to refrain from KDE bashing. If you browse the dev mail list archives from a while ago, you'll discover that a couple of KDE devs invited themselves into our mail list and started a nasty spitting contest. Got rather heated. Nobody won and one of the KDE devs took to his blog to continue bashing Trinity. He stopped that public campaign when a lot of people posted comments to his blog entry to leave us the hell alone, that the free/libre software philosophy allows and embraces forking. He was reminded that we were not harming anybody. After those public rebuttals he stayed away, but I have not forgotten him or his tirades. I'm not afraid of bashing KDE4, especially the piece of shit known as akonadi, or the obvious relentless fan-boyism that permeates the entire KDE culture. Yet I'd rather we follow the advice of Voltaire's Candide and just "tend our own garden." >------------------------------ >"Recently I discovered Trinity.

Looks fine and thank you. Subject to final review by other team members of course. :) Darrell

Copying/Moving/Deleting files in TDE

by Michele Calgaro

Dear all, since last September (October?) when I copy/move/delete files I see a window like the one in the attached picture. I recall in the past I used to see a window with a progress bar and some buttons, likely containing the same information but much nicer. Any idea? Thanks Michele

>Please take this discussion off-list. How ironic that a positive >PR thread will end up damaging TDE even more in the PR arena. Yes, you are correct and my apologies. I stand by my opinion --- that was expressed in an opt-in subscriber-only private mail list, but I should not have shared that opinion here. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] New FTBFS in tdebindings

by Darrell Anderson

>Any clue ? Yes, I have a clue. :) A handful of apps don't compile after the recent API changes these commits: 523c1fd9 2013-12-22 [tqt3] Automated update from Qt3 d1b6b7be 2013-12-22 [qt3] Repair performance regression accidentally introduced with new style API Tim is aware of the build failures. The apps that don't compile with error messages related to the style API commits: python-trinity pytdeextensions (probably only because of the dependency on python- trinity) tdebindings libtqt-perl tde-style-qtcurve rosegarden If you are a code hacker, look at these commits to create similar patches: a5826757 2013-12-23 7f8e73d6 2013-12-22 I tried patching python-trinity but I still kept getting build failures.

Re: [trinity-devel] Switch debian/ubuntu packages format to quilt

by Michele Calgaro

> What exactly is required to switch to quilt format? Is this a simple > change to the dpkg-buildpackage call or something more complex? Tim, I don't have the experience of Slavek (so I may be missing something), but switching to quilt will require: 1) change the format inside debian/source/format from native to quilt 2) switch debian/ubuntu specific patches to quilt format 3)bremove anything related to quilt from debian/rules 4) modify the building scripts to create a "<source package>_<upstream version>.orig.tar.gz" file from the package source before building 5) modify the building scripts to build using format 3.0(quilt), which requires the .orig.tar.gz file to be in the parent directory of the debian folder I have just updated dpkg on my Debian/Jessie, so in the next few days I will have to work on this, because I have already experience build failures, as Slavek initially mentioned. If I find some other changes that are required, I will update the post. Here are a couple of useful links as well: https://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0#Advantages_of_new_formats https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What_is_the_ifference_between_a_na… - section 2.4 Cheers Michele
