compiz-fusion-plugins-*-trinity FTBFS patches (Jessie)
by Michele Calgaro 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Tim, Slavek, over the weekend I did a full TDE rebuild in Jessie. The only two packages to fail were compiz-fusion-plugins-main-trinity and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-trinity, due to a missing depencency for libjpeg62-dev. The attached 'control' files fix the problem for both of them. Just rename the files back to 'control'. Cheers Michele

Modifying wiki pages process is cumbersome
by Michele Calgaro 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Tim, E., whenever I modify a wiki page and click the save button, the page reload and at the top of the page a "question field" appears. After filling in the answer, I need to scroll to the bottom and press the save button again. This is cumbersome and a source of loss of time, since the process requires to "save the page" twice and scroll up and down the whole page. Would it be possible for the "question field" to be at the bottom of the page and always visible when editing? A good location would be just below the "summary field". This would avoid both the additional scrolling and the additional save. Thanks Michele

TDEUI background
by Alexandre 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

Hi, I just wanted to share (for fun, not as a tde default) a little tdeui background that I made with Inkscape. My LG android cellphone has a similar background, and I wanted to see what it looks like on a desktop environment. Thank you! Tell me what you think! -Alexandre

R14 hard freeze for RC1
by Timothy Pearson 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 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! :-) Tim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iFYEARELAAYFAlQ9WJAACgkQLaxZSoRZrGEBQgDdFjmryG8MwYCFIAb+KP5tpzPQ AnbFoau0HP5VAgDfY+1PLlqolGwxLrYhrr06lSQuKbViZ0VpD5vMHg== =GzuQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Mirroring stalled?
by Mike Bird 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

We have private partial mirrors of various repositories which we use for testing packages and then to install the packages on each box. These private partial mirrors are synced nightly. Because of a bug in lftp we can't use Tim's neat redirector and instead we mirror Trinity from mirrorservice.org. Last night there was no change in our partial Trinity mirror. The night before some old files were deleted but no new files were added. The night before that mirroring seemed to be working normally. It brought in a few dozen files from tdeartwork and tdebase. Also I see nightly builds updating on mirrorservice.org. I wonder if RC2 updates are backed up behind nightly build updates. If so I wonder if it would be better to serve the volatile but lightly used nightly builds directly so that the less volatile and more heavily used releases could more readily migrate to the public mirrors. --Mike

R14 hard freeze for FINAL

After that time no further commits will be accepted, R14.0.0 will be tagged in GIT, and pre-release tasks will start. If you can please help update the release notes at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.0 Thanks!

web site minor improvments
by Michele Calgaro 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Tim, on the main website, there are a couple of things to improve IMO. 1) the link "Bugs" currently points to "https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL" which will automatically load a long list of bugs resulting in a long loading time. It would be better if it simply pointed to "https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org" so the loading time would be shorter and the user could choose by him/herself what to look for. 2) in the mailing list page https://www.trinitydesktop.org/mailinglist.php, I think the "suggestions" about High/Moderate/Low traffic could be removed. For example the Dev ML has a higher traffic than the User ML, but the "suggestions" are saying the opposite. Just my 2 cents. Cheers Michele
