Bug#684475: #684475 RFP: trinity-desktop -- Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE)
Hi *,
has anyone done anything on this?
I noticed that Trinity themselves have a “PPA” on “the only functional
Launchpad instance outside of Canonical”, in which they offer packages
for Debian releases even. AIUI these are actively maintained and even
security-fixed.
I was considering reviewing these (their source packages actually) and
possibly starting to upload them piece by piece to experimental, but I
don’t know C++ really, and I’m not sure if this is ever going to be
accepted “by Debian”.
I’d love to solicitate aid from the Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers, but I
understand they’re busy with KF5/Qt5 and probably(?) don’t wish to
revisit their KDE 3/Qt 3 knowledge (please correct me if I’m wrong,
or if even some individual Debian Qt/KDE maintainers outside of their
membership of said team would be able to help).
I could take care of the boring side of this (checking the packaging
itself, uploading, triaging bugs, actually using this on my desktop)
but I don’t feel capable enough to, by myself, handle the entirety of
the technical work involved (I did hack a bit on Qt and KDE components
for porting to m68k and x32 mostly, but… really only a bit).
I’m also open to forming a team to bring this forward, but in this
case, probably not a team of one…
Thanks,
//mirabilos
