All,
I have put a significant amount of work into the QuickBuild system over
the past week in an attempt to stabilize it and increase performance.
While I am aware that there were some outages in random components (most
notably the PPA mirror redirects) while I was doing this, all issues
should be resolved at this point.
As of this writing four build machines are online, one for each
architecture. As we have reached the chiller fund goal (see prior
messages) the remaining x86/amd64 build machines will be brought back
online over the next couple weeks.
Please let me know what you think, and definitely let me know if anything
is still malfunctioning!

All,
As you can probably see from the activity on the trinity-commits list
there have been multiple updates to both the common cmake/admin modules
and the icons across the entire tree over the past week or so.
This ongoing activity has forced essentially a full archive rebuild for
Debian/Ubuntu, our primary supported distributions.
I am announcing a ***hard freeze*** for R14 to allow the Debian/Ubuntu
rebuild to start generating our RC1 package sets. There are currently
three open bug reports blocking Bug 2014; patches that do not relate to
those three reports must be discussed on this list and approved by me
before being committed to GIT. Additionally, only patches that do not
affect the common cmake/admin modules will even be considered at this
time.
After the RC1 rebuilds are complete this soft freeze will thaw to accept
patches for bugs discovered before and during RC1 testing. This thaw will
be short lived to allow time for RC2 rebuilds, so all patches should be
ready within a week after RC1 release.
Each rebuild cycle takes around 2-3 weeks due to the multitude of
distributions supported. If no common cmake/admin modules are updated for
RC2 the resultant rebuild will take less time.
Onwards to the much-fabled R14 release! :-)

All,
With TDE R14.0.0 RC2 just around the corner I need some assistance with
the press release: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/37
Making sure the list of news outlets is up to date (and providing Email
addresses) would also be helpful. I am not one who typically consumes
open source news so I'm not sure what the best outlets to submit this to
would be. I would recommend staying away from Phoronix though as they
have a strong pro- Wayland/tablet/phone and anti- traditional desktop
computing viewpoint.
Historically I seem to end up tied up with release-related tasks and have
not been able to get a proper news release out on time (or even at all),
so any help with this is much appreciated!
Thanks!

Tim,
I made a new rebuild yesterday night (everything except the applications folder) and update the system this morning. I
encountered dependency conflicts in tdepim. For example:
libkcal2b-trinity conflicts with libtdepim1-trinity-dev
I can resolve those by removing 3 packages:
- kipi-plugins-trinity
- libkcal2-trinity-dev
- libkcal2b-trinity
Until 6 days ago (my previous build) no conflicts whatsoever.
Just thought I would let you know. Is it something to be expect due to some recent changes made in between RC1 and RC2?
Cheers
Michele

All,
The merge window for TDE R14 RC2 is now CLOSED. Builds for RC2 are
underway and RC2 should be released sometime next week.
I still need to repair a recent FTBFS in the Debian/Ubuntu packaging files
for tdevelop, so there will be one last commit to the tde-packaging
repository soon.
I need a list of news sites to submit the RC2 press release to; also any
help I could get with writing/editing the press release would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi all!
Just wanted to post my impression of exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso:
Everything works as expected - again very good work :-)
The only problem I had was that grub did not want to boot if the root-partition is ext4. ext3 works fine, as expected.

All,
This is a friendly reminder that the merge window for TDE R14 RC2 ends
tomorrow (11/26/2014) at midnight CST (06:00 GMT). Please commit any
outstanding patches that should be part of R14 RC2 before this date.
There will only be one more limited merge window before R14 release, so
please get those patches in!
Thanks!

All,
I noticed today that tdegraphics depends on kmrml-trinity. Is the dependency strictly required or can we remove it and
instead add a "suggestion" for kmrml-trinity in tdegraphics?
The reason for asking is that kmrml-trinity installs a control module in "system administration" that comes up with a
"Cannot find executables gift and/or gift-add-collection.pl in the PATH. Please install the GNU Image Finding Tool"
error message is GnuIFT is not installed. I do not use Gift and do no see any need to use it, and the same is true for
the associated control module. So I would like to be able to remove the package, but do not want to sacrifice
tdegraphics for that.
Comments are welcomed. I can take care of the changes if you agree.
Cheers
Michele
When searching I receive the following message:
Error: Failed to load KinoSearch modules.
In particular, I want to know what kind of support tdepim has for syncing with owncloud.
