Hi,
Please all cool down and remember that Timothy Pearson is providing infrastructure, internet and power-hungry servers for TDE. Even if he does not participate actively on TDE anymore, what he provides is still of great value, probably of a few hundreds of dollars per months. Please consider TDE to be in maintenance mode, with changes made only to make it still work on newer linux systems.
(please don't talk to me about the top-posting thing, as I can't do anything else with this ms outlook account. I already proposed the idea of having a forum instead, but it was promptly rejected. But a forum would have
avoided the top-posting issues...)
Thank you and keep it cool! -Alexandre De : Mike Bird <mgb-trinity@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

TDE applications are run from menus and icons. TDE users don't care that the executable is called /opt/trinity/bin/kmail. They care that clicking on KMail works as they expect and that it works well. Google Earth is also in /opt and AFAIK not in any major distros. Go and tell Larry and Sergey they're doing it all wrong and they'll explain to you that as Google Earth is an add-on application like TDE rather than a distro like Debian the correct place for both TDE and Google Earth is /opt, not /usr. If and when a distro such as Devuan were to include TDE then they would probably install it in /usr. But TDE users wouldn't notice and wouldn't care. And TDE would still go in /opt when added to systems built from other distros. You are sending a lot of emails, and closing bug reports that are not yet fixed, but I don't see you actually fixing any bugs or doing anything constructive. TDE software works and works well. Therefore the TDE project is working and working well. --Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-devel-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-devel-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting |
