Clarification announcement!
by Robert Xu 26 Jan '11

26 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

RPM development stalled.
by Robert Xu 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Hi all, I've been going through spec restructuring, but there's been a few problems on build.o.o lately. These include spec files that have conditions for dependencies and such (that would be trinity's spec files) If these problems continue persist, I'm probably going to have to move the project to my local OBS server to continue RPM package building, which can read the conditions for dependencies and as such, will not been affected by these random errors. But that will mean people may not be able to access my work for a period of time, (even the SuSE people are confused, because this would mean everything jpackage will fail, so...) -- later, Robert Xu

I can't say I've used it (even in GNOME I still used Kwrite), but why not Kedit, Kwrite, or Kate (the program, not the Borg with the menu mockup)? Kate can load multiple files into tabs and can have different profiles with different sets of files open, would really make things quick to switch between the different .desktop files. Well, Gedit is like the Kate for GNOME. Besides, i'm doing work from a GNOME DE atm, so cut me some slack. (PS KDE Advertising much? Hehe ;P) -- later, Robert Xu

Firefox users: Download Greasemonkey (latest is v 0.9) https://github.com/downloads/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/greasemonkey-0.9.0.x… Then use this script to force Gmail to bottom post: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/35866 Chrome users: Download the extension: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/35866 It should recognize it and install. Now you people have no excuse to top post ;) -- later, Robert Xu

Registered desktop categories for Trinity Please note there is a tar.bz2 file attatched.
by Katheryne Draven 20 Jan '11

Attached is the working (for me) mock of a focused kmenu. It still needs polishing. I'm sure it still missing things or can be focused further. I would really like input on how to improve the structure as well as any errors I may have made.

Re[2]: [trinity-devel] Browser?

If you can point me to the repositories you used, I can help debug this. OpenSUSE from here? http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3 Yes.

Also true. Still, I find it that the whole departure to Dolphin in KDE4 was far from ideal still. Profile handling well would be better. No doubt. Dolphin is completely unusable. There are just some errors in profile handling scripts which should be fixed. Also I noticed that many errors were introduced in KDE3 in final versions such as 3.5.10 while were absent previously. Seems like a marketing move to justify scrapping it.

translation process
by Denis Prost 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi everyone, this is my first post to the list. I proposed myself to translate new strings into french and Tim advised me to post here my questions. I know how to use kbabel or poedit, but that's about all. I would need someone to tell me what are the steps to follow to : 1) get po files updated with new strings corresponding to the added features since 3.5.10 2) update these po files in the source tree, once I've added the translated strings into them Thanks for any help, regards, Denis

autoconf qtlib problem
by Mehmet Özdemir 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi all We are trying to build trinity for Pardus Corporate 2. While we were building tqtinterface we encountered below error: ... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ... Pardus C2 stores qt libs, headers etc. in /usr/qt/3 directory so we tried to set --with-qt-dir and --with-qt-libraries options but nothing changed. Creating a symlink of libqt-mt.so in /usr/lib prevents this error. However, to fix this error we made a patch that adds $(QT_LDFLAGS) to libtqt_la_LIBADD in Makefile.am. I saw similar errors on email list that tells this is an autoconf problem. Is this problem going to be a trouble for future trinity packages? And finally, does anyone know a more appropriate way of solving this problem? Thanks.
