And as soon as I sent the email below, my imail showed that I had just recieved another from Andrea Cascio talking about "updated qt3 packages for openSUSE" and to Robert Xu......So I am sure something is happening....but I'd dearly like to know "when" there could be a release.
Hi,
I realise this is sort of "out-field",but the Trinity web site has lots and lots of examples of the packages for other distros but never one for openSUSE.
I'm not really, really a programmer but I have used openSUSE for years and I know if something wrong is the DE or the OS......And I can fault find simple tasks and problems. Currently I am using openSUSE 11.3 with KDE4.4.4 running in folder view and all special effects turned off. It's remarkably fast and very, very, very stable.
Can anyone tell me when a package will be ready for openSUSE of any version ? I think Robert Xu (if I have that name right) was working on this, but so far I have seen nothing come out - and this is not a reflection on Robert as I am sure he has his hands overfull like the rest of you Trinity developers.
Best wishes to you all.......I think what you are doing is great - I just want to get my hands on Trinity while using my favourite distribution.
Kind regards
Tony

Just out of curiosity, if KDE4 is working out well for you why are you looking at other desktops? Not meaning to offend at all, just wondering. :-)
Regarding the packaging, I know Robert Xu has been working on that for some time. It also appears we have picked up another packager in the last few days, so hopefully progress will be made quickly on that front.

Thanks Tim......the answer is that KDE4.4 works quite well......the next version falls over a bit, and that released in openSUSE12.1 is slow and simply not working as well.
No offence taken at all. The fact is that I am pushing KDE4 to operate as KDE3.5 used to work and as Trinity now does work: simplicity and speed - it takes a lot of work to get there and I published a series of papers on LXer on the matter earlier this year.
My sincere apologies to: "/dev/ammo42" mickeytintincolle@yahoo.fr whoever you are......I have NO idea as to how these Trinity threads work and I simply used the first available method of getting a message across, and one that I knew would reach the developer team. I am sorry if I mucked things up as it was very unintentional. I normally do NOT use any aspect of the emails I receive as I am an onlooker only.

I wasn't really offended, it is rather to inform you :). Moreover, this thread thing is not Trinity-specific at all. When you send an e-mail by replying to another, it contains specific headers (if you activate full headers in KMail*, you can look at In-Reply-To and References) that enable mail clients to display the e-mail list as a tree where an e-mail is a parent of another if and only if the second is a reply to the first (KMail can do that). So if you send a mail about OpenSUSE replying to a mail in a discussion about kmimemagic, the tree of this discussion will contain all kmimemagic-related message plus your unrelated OpenSUSE message. I made a partial screenshot of my mail client (low-quality JPEG) which shows what is happening.
*I know you use KMail because of this header: User-Agent: KMail/1.13.5 (Linux/2.6.34.10-0.4-desktop; KDE/4.4.4; i686; ; )

To install KDE3 on openSUSE 11.3 just click this link: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.3/KDE3-DEFAU...
It will add the necessary repository and install KDE3 onto your system.

Hi Tony, yes things are going on with openSUSE packages. But still, the obvious answer is "when it's ready" :) Seriously, I think within 1 week we should have tdelibs/tdebase packaged, and the rest should be somehow easier. Remember that both me and Robert are working on the packages in our spare time, so don't hold your breath. ;)
BTW, we'd appreciate your help. :) Even if you are not a developer nor a packager, if you could test the packages as soon as they are ready, it would be really helpful!
