Typical free/libre software practice when providing
packages is to also
provide the sources and build scripts at the time the packages were made.
Is there a snapshot available of the sources from the day when you issued
the Trinity 3.5.11 packages?
Yes. All of that information is available on the
QuickBuild system (
https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~trinity/+archive/trinity ), but
keep in mind that it was built for Debian, and therefore includes
Debian-specific patch files. Click on the package name you want to see
details for, then look for a tar.gz file. That file contains the source
code that produced the binaries listed.
In addition to our current efforts I would like to try building from the
3.5.11 sources. I want to start using Trinity KDE at some point after the
stock 3.5.10. The build process might again fail --- I don't know about
that because of some of the Debianization that we are troubleshooting now
--- but I'd like to try.
That build *will* fail for the reasons you mentioned.
3.5.12 will be
released within the next couple of months; wouldn't you rather wait and
iron out the remaining build bugs in SVN? Just a thought.
