Just as some background info. Trinity (TDE) is a fork of KDE 3.5. The last release of Trinity was on 2016.02.28. There is still some activity in the repo. |
Here is the official git of TDE project: |
It's a good idea to create a new branch on upstream nixpkgs? |
@AndersonTorres I don't see any reason for creating a branch. |
@FRidh so far, so good. I will add the packages as far as I can. |
Is there anything left to do on this pull request? |
A lot :/ |
@AndersonTorres it sounds like this is still a work in progress. If so, I think it might be best to close this pull request and re-open it when the work is ready to be merged. What do you think about that? |
Trinity Desktop Environment is a fork of KDE 3.5, intended to be the logical continuation of 3.x series. Its aim is to feature a rich desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems with a primary goal of retaining a traditional, efficient and productive user interface. In this initial commit, I updated the mirror list to include TDE.
TQT is a fork of QT3 library, rebranded for TDE.
Also, dbus-1-tqt is in this commit.
My apologies about the delay responding, @ocharles . Yes, I think it is better to close and re-open when I have something a bit more, eh, tangible to show. At least an Yakuake! |
