I think the second one misses the point that TDE is a DE which puts productivity before fancy-useless-bothering visual effects, which I think is the main reason why people use TDE. Perhaps the following version is a little better: ------------------------------ "Recently I discovered Trinity. I immediately felt at home with this traditional computer desktop environment, which focuses on productivity rather than the latest development in visual effects. In these days of tablets and smart phones, traditional desktop environments still play important roles. The TDE development team is friendly and anyone such as myself may contribute to preserve and enhance this fantastic desktop environment." --- Michele Calgaro, Italy ------------------------------ Feel free to massage it again if you find it appropriate. Cheers Michele

tde networking with netctl interface names: eg. enp0s10 instead of ethX
by David C. Rankin 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

All, Is anyone building on a distro using netctl to manage the network interfaces such that the interface names are no long ethX, but instead enpXsX. What impact does that have on the networking interfaces for networkmanager, knemo, etx... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Re: [trinity-devel] Do new git branches and tags (master->origin/master, etc.) change repo update calls?

Hi David, Welcome back. I hope all is well. :) >The question that >brought up was "do I need to modify any of the scripts I use that >update my >local git repo to handle the 'origin/v3.5.13-sru' designation, or >will the >change be handled by the .gitmodule data? Look at the scripts directory: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/scripts/tree/ Basically all I do is run switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean inside a wrapper script. > What is the state of HAL requirements? I presume it is still >fully required in >3.5.13, but what about 14? I will be building 3.5.13, so I'll >start by checking >on the state of HAL in the Arch user repository. Trinity R14 has its own HAL-independent hardware support. 3.5.13.2 still uses HAL available. You can use HAL in R14 if you want, you need to apply the appropriate configuration options. Look at the following tdelibs config if you want to build outside the defaults: -DWITH_HAL -DWITH_TDEHWLIB_DAEMONS -DWITH_UPOWER -DWITH_UDISKS -DWITH_UDISKS2 I believe most if not all of the development team is using R14. Many of us have 3.5.13.2 test partitions or VMs. 3.5.13.2 can be built from the official tarballs, whereas R14 is built from the GIT tree. Although there have been many changes in the past months, the structure of the git tree remains the same. The scripts noted above have not been modified in a long while either. Darrell

This is a good start. Would you please consider some refinements? Perhaps something like this: "Recently I discovered Trinity.

Switch debian/ubuntu packages format to quilt
by Slávek Banko 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Tim, Michele, I noticed in Jessie was updated dpkg to version 0.17.5. This is a problem for the current package format in nightly-builds. See: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1782 The question is how to solve this problem in a relationship of the approaching release date of R14.0.0? The structure of the version that we now use in nigthly-builds and which is similarly used for SRU versions (here we already use ~preXXX instead of +rXXX), allows switch to quilt format. But to make such change in the nightly-builds at this time? Or suspend building Jessie packages for this time? Or in Jessie images on build-farm hold the previous version of dpkg for this time? Note: As I mentioned in my script to prepare the source deb package I already use quilt format, so as soon as I'll begin prepare packages for R14.0.1, the problem with Jessie will be resolved for SRU. And it will be a better time to edit the script for nightly-builds packages. What are your suggestions? Slavek
