I'm trying to fix some Gentoo packaging stuff, since Fat-Zer hasn't touched his overlay
in nearly a year and only ever provided live ebuilds (= packages that install directly from
git main branch, not from released versions). There are a bunch of details in the
packaging apparatus that haven't been changed in a long time, and I'm pretty sure that
some of those details are incorrect.
Specific questions:
Permitted licenses for tqt are still listed in the ebuild as "QPL-1.0 GPL-2 GPL-3",
unchanged from qt3. Am I correct in remembering that QPL (Trolltech's proprietary
license) is no longer valid for tqt?
What is the actual version number of tqt? Of tqtinterface? Historically, these followed
a different version scheme from the main desktop, but that seems to have changed.
Currently, I'm dealing with the version numbers, certain directory and file names, and a
Gentoo SLOT (mechanism for tracking multiple versions of the same package installed
in parallel) inconsistently, and I would like to clean things up.
What, exactly, are msg2qm and qembed? The ebuild I inherited for tqt builds them
separately, with comments reading "# Make the msg2qm[/qembed] utility (not made
by default)", and furthermore the build mechanism is currently broken. I need to know
whether or not fixing it is worth the effort. Are these utilities used for building and/or
running anything?
More to come as I work my way through the tree, if I don't just give up and crawl away
into a corner somewhere the way I did the last two times I tried this.

Hi Slávek,
Thanks for the link!
I did not noticed the changes to the sources.list file.
TDE is now upgraded and is up and running.
Thanks and a happy new year to all TDE enthusiasts!
The good news is that 14.0.6 builds for me quite happily, although the ebuild code for
switching aRts support on is temporarily broken. I haven't tried 14.0.7 yet.
The bad news is that the git source won't build for me. The error is unenlightening:
[1010/2200] cd /var/tmp/portage/trinity-base/tdelibs-9999/work/tdelibs-9999_build/doc/tdespell && /var/tmp/portage/trinity-base/tdelibs-9999/work/tdelibs-9999_build/kdoctools/meinproc --srcdir=/var/tmp/portage/trinity-base/tdelibs-9999/work/tdelibs-9999/kdoctools --check --cache index.cache.bz2 /var/tmp/portage/trinity-base/tdelibs-9999/work/tdelibs-9999/doc/tdespell/index.docbook
FAILED: doc/tdespell/index.cache.bz2
cd /var/tmp/portage/trinity-base/tdelibs-9999/work/tdelibs-9999_build/doc/tdespell && /var/tmp/portage/trinity-base/tdelibs-9999/work/tdelibs-9999_build/kdoctools/meinproc --srcdir=/var/tmp/portage/trinity-base/tdelibs-9999/work/tdelibs-9999/kdoctools --check --cache index.cache.bz2 /var/tmp/portage/trinity-base/tdelibs-9999/work/tdelibs-9999/doc/tdespell/index.docbook
(Full build log available upon request.)
There don't seem to have been any git commits touching kdoctools, tdespell, or anything
else related in quite a long time. Or is this because I'm trying to build without udisks
support (see below)? Does anyone have any insight, or is it time to file a bug?
Now, the other things about the git source:
A comparison of multiple versions of CMakeLists.txt shows that the WITH_UDISKS
and WITH_UDISKS2 options are being removed. Are they supposed to be subsumed
into WITH_TDEHWLIB, or is udisks2 going to be an absolute requirement for building
TDE in the future? (Minimalist configurations are quite common in Gentoo, so I need to
get this right.)
There are three new options: WITH_PCSC, WITH_PKCS, and WITH_CRYPTSETUP,
one of which has a not-very-useful description. My understanding is that:
WITH_PCSC offers support for smartcards and requires the pcsc-lite library
WITH_PKCS offers support for PKCS#11 crypto and requires (I think) the library
packaged by Gentoo as dev-libs/pkcs11-helper
WITH_CRYPTSETUP offers support for filesystem encryption(?) using
sys-fs/cryptsetup(?)
Am I missing anything, or misunderstanding any of these options?

Hello!
I followed the instructions in the buildscripts/README.txt file and
after 1 day and 10 hours on a modern 16 cores workstation the script
99_build_TDE.sh gave me the message "#### Building process for TDE
completed ####"
I completed the last steps, namely
*) ./create_repo.sh
*) add deb [trusted=yes] file:/........./3_repo stretch main (I
planned to use buster initially, but switched back to stretch due to
some technical problems with the workstation, so it is not a typo
here, it's really stretch)
*) sudo apt update (messages are looking good, no errors, plenty of
compiled packages visible)
and now is the great moment to install the self compiled TDE onto the
prepared clean machine, the very same workstation, so I'm typing "sudo
apt install tde-trinity" and....
Package tde-trinity is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'tde-trinity' has no installation candidate
As a matter of fact apt is right: this package is nowhere to find,
neither in 2_build nor in 3_repo (both of which are full of .deb
files, 923 each)
So my question is as usual: how do I proceed now? I never did the
installation of TDE in a "package by package" way, I always used the
very same "tde-trinity" meta package.
Cheers,
Ilya D.

Hi everyone,
we are getting ready for a new R14.0.7 release. So as done in the past a couple of times, if anyone wants to
contribute new screenshots of their desktop using TDE, please feel free to email them to us. We will look into them
and perhaps select some for the R14.0.7 Release Notes page on the wiki. Those not selected will be added to the wiki
as done in the past.
Thanks a lot in advance and Merry Christmas to all!
Cheers
Michele

Hello !
I'm trying to setup my self-compiled copy of TDE. I opened "Trinity
Control Center" and then "Appearance & Themes" and then "Background".
There I selected a picture "Aghi" (showing some green tree branches)
and pressed "Apply" (then spent like 10 mins for similar steps, never
mind these)
As you can see on the screenshot https://i.paste.pics/7kbai.png the
background is not changed at all, it's some kind of default picture
being there from the very beginning.
On my real computer with TDE from official repository there is no such
problem, so I suppose I might have either installed or started TDE in
some wrong way on this hacking clean system (which is running inside a
docker container, so not even systemd is present there).
My question is: what process/daemon can be missed or maybe some other
reason for this wrong background behaviour ?
Just to explain why I so much care about background on a development
system: it's about bug #3059 (X11 resources leak). After some research
I'm almost sure it's about slide show on background window and now I
just want to reproduce this bug in "clean lab conditions".
Cheers,
Ilya D.
Hello!
Last week I tried out TDE building scripts: for example
99_build_TDE.sh which successfully finished its work in 38 hours. But
later that week I looked into 0_logs/build_result.log and found there
some "[FAILED]" messages for ten packages ("k3b-i18n", "k9copy",
"kaffeine", "kasablanca", "katapult", "kbarcode", "kbfx", "kbibtex",
"kbiff", "kpilot"). Later I tried to run the same script in "local
mode" ("-l" flag in BUILD_DEFAULT_OPTIONS variable of _config.sh) but
it seems the modules don't see the compilation results of the
previously compiled modules. And I didn't find any way in the scripts
for them to see. So here are some questions about building scripts:
0) Do I understand correctly that "modules" (as this word is used in
command "build_module" for example in 06_applications_03.sh script)
are corresponding 1-to-1 to debian source packages on the one hand and
to git submodules of TDE/tde repository on the other hand?
1) What exactly is the mechanism used while building with "pbuilder"
(i.e. WITHOUT "-l") for the module A to use package B built in one of
the previous modules?
2) Does something similar exist while building everything in "local
mode" (i.e. WITH "-l") on a clean machine? I see there only the *.deb
files, but they don't seem to be installed immediately after creation
and then the next step is about to start already and *.deb files are
just left there not installed.
3) Is there any simple way to disable colored output which is very
nice on the terminal, but quite disturbing while reading logs in a
file?
4) Is there a way to stop let's say 99_build_TDE.sh script if a single
module compilation failed?
5) Sometimes I see the following lines in the log file (using "show
log" -sl option and piping output into a file):
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies:
tdelibs14-trinity-dev [and many more -I.D.]
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)
Building completed SUCCESSFULLY [in green color -I.D.]
Does this combination (package can't be built, but it's kinda success
nevertheless) have any sense or is it some kind of error in the
scripts?
The meaning of all these questions for me is to understand how to
create an environment, where I can rebuild the whole TDE in a reliable
way (run a single command and be sure that its success indicates
nothing went wrong and everything is built) on a clean machine.
Thanks!

Trinity cannot be added without breaking most Trinity packages because repos have
updated libIlm* from required v2_3 to v2_4. :(
