KDE3 I can understand, as it is technically dead. Trinity, however, is not.
Trinity is KDE3. You did not anything special yet to say Trinity is not KDE3. Porting to cmake does not suffice.
Sometime try reading our patch list--it's right on the TDE homepage under "Patches". Then come back with specific questions based on your newfound knowledge.
<snip>
Assurances that the project is now maintained upstream by the Trinity
project
are hollow; the Trinity group is only a handful of people, none of
whom are
the original maintainers or developers of the code, and most of their
effort
is spent on writing a Qt4 compatibility layer and in porting the build
system
to cmake, not maintenance. In any case, the packages in KDE:KDE3 are
based on
3.5.10 and only include some changes from the Trinity project's fork,
which is
now 3.5.12.
I must ask you officially to stop "representing" the Trinity project when you are not (and have never been) authorized to do so. You are apparently doing great damage to this project and if it continues I will be forced to publicly deal with your incorrect claims.
The Qt4 compatibility layer is not top priority.
KDE:KDE3 is still stuck on 3.5.10, and therefore does not impact us. It was your decision to keep it there.
Ok, I will up the version to 3.6 so "not to stuck with 3.5.10".
And what justifies such a version bump? <snip>
Look, KDE:KDE3 has MUCH more patches than your Trinity has if you are inclined to compare and attack us. Trinity still depends on deprecated HAL, for example.
You "fixed" the HAL dependency by removing much of the functionality that relied on HAL! That is a terrible way to handle an open source project. What's next, removing the desktop entirely because it relies on Qt3?!?
If KDE:KDE3 does not fulfill the criteria, then Trinity does not fulfill either.
You are making baseless accusations here. Either stop this behaviour immediately or I will ban you from these lists with a public explanation of both your trolling behavior and the KDE:KDE3 repository's serious problems.
