Debian takes efforts to remove KDe3 and Qt3 completely
by Ilya Chernykh 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

This is what I read in the blog of one of the Debian maintainers: I also emailed one of my upstream maintainers to ask him about the KDE 4 version of his application and he will likely make a release soon. One of the goals for wheezy is remove completely KDE 3 and Qt 3. If you are maintaining a KDE 3 or Qt 3 based application, we are about to start annoying you about this! See http://wiki.debian.org/kdelibs4c2aRemoval and http://wiki.debian.org/qt3-x11-freeRemoval It is interesting why they make so much effort to remove funtionality rather than add.

gtk-qt-engine and GTK3

I wonder whether gtk-qt-engine is capable to work with GTK3?

Qt3 patch

It seems that even after the 3.3.8c patch the configure scripts detect Qt3 version as 3.3.8b.

Mission Control from Ark Linux
by Kristopher Gamrat 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi, I would like to propose that we include Ark's Mission Control in Trinity. It pulls together some of the modules in KControl in a reorganized way. The idea behind it is to have the things users use the most pulled together in an easy-to-find way. It was written (obviously) for KDE3, so it will need rewriting by a programmer for TQt by someone more experienced at programming than me. I have been slowly preparing my system to build Trinity. Once I get more organized, I will be able to upload the source tarballs to Mission Control on my personal space on arklinux.org, along with Ark's related patches and spec files from the RPMs that will detail where we apply those patches (these patches will likely need updating for the TQt version). It will probably be a few days, have not had as much time as I would like at the computer (weird work schedule and an upcoming date with the pure hearted girl I've known for years <3 :-D), though I should (at least) have it ready to upload by next week if you guys are interested. Currently I don't have a machine old enough to run our latest release (2008.1) (a bit ironic that the poor fat geeky computer nerd would want to "downgrade" his hardware to use the older hardware heh), but perhaps someone using 2008.1 could take some screenshots? If I'm not mistaken, our illustriously organized Borg with the Kmenus still uses it, not sure if she still has the Mission Control capable KDE installed? -- Kris "Piki" Ark Linux Webmaster Trinity KDE Packager

suse >1120 patching fails
by Robert Xu 31 Jan '11

Ilya, I'm having a bit of a problem with Qt3 and Tim's patch. It will build with SLE 10, 11, SuSE 11.1 and 11.2. But it drops dead on SuSE 11.3 and Factory. Were there any changes between 11.2 and 11.3? I'm over at home:bravoall1552:branches:KDE:KDE3/qt3... -- later, Robert Xu

Looking to help out
by calvin morrison 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hello, I'm an active Arch Linux user, and I have been following your discussion of Trinity on the archlinux public mailing list. While i have no background in KDE 3.5 or 4x I am looking for a new project to help out with. I think that Trinity would be fun to hack/develop on, and I'd like to help out. I know Arch Linux like the back of my hand, so I can contribute by setting up AUR packages as well as helping maintain a repo, building packages and testing them on Arch boxes. While I don't know C++ or Java, or any other wishy-washy languages like Python or Ruby, i do know C quite well, and could definitely help keep Trinity up to date, as well as develop new applications for it if need be. I'm free plenty of the time and love contributing, so shoot me an email or hit me up in #archlinux@freenode if you'd be willing to take me on as a developer or contributor. Cheers, Calvin Morrison

Patching qt3 fails
by Ilya Chernykh 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Patching Qt3 at newer OpenSUSE releases fails. I receive the following message: Patch #140 (qt3_3.3.8c.diff): + /bin/cat /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/qt3_3.3.8c.diff + /usr/bin/patch -s -p2 --fuzz=0 File include/qobject.h is not a regular file -- can't patch So, Robert, I suggest you to patch it in your repo and then submit it to KDE:KDE3.

Clarification announcement!
by Robert Xu 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hi all. This is a post to clear up any issues that people might be confused with. We've all agreed to this, so this is now here for reference. So, let me start of by saying: TRINITY IS NOT KDE3 (anymore). KDE3 IS DEAD. And let me go a bit further with that. We are currently in an alpha stage of porting Trinity to cmake. There is currently the following in usable or finished states: - tqtinterface - arts - kdelibs - kdebase - kdedevelop The 3.5.12 tarballs DO NOT have them. I repeat, DO NOT have cmake scripts. You will need to download them from http://thel.ro/ and insert them into the build directory. We are also in a pre-alpha stage of porting Trinity to Qt4. Before I go any further, let me say: WE ARE NOT PORTING APPLICATIONS ONE BY ONE TO QT4 (as may have been interpreted before). What we are doing is porting the apps to tqt (a relatively easy thing to do), and then letting tQT handle the Qt version specifics. tQt for Qt4 has been progressing along for some time, although it is COMPLETELY FAR from stable. If you'd like to see a screenshot from 3.5.13, Tim provides one here: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1586qmp&s=7 I assure you, we are not making another KDE4. We'll leave that junk to the KDE4 developers. Thank you for taking the time to read this. The Trinity Developers
