Hi!
I am planning to install the Trinity desktop on openSUSE Leap 15.2. I have
the following questions:
1) On the Instructions website it says: "2. Configure the supplementary
PACKMAN repository". I am curious why that is. Do the Trinity packages
depend on packages in the PACKMAN repositories or is it so that the most up
to date multimedia packages are installed?
You are correct, the Packman repository is required for multimedia libraries
only (mostly xine).
You should be able to install non-audio/video packages from Trinity without
Packman, but I've not tested this scenario.
I always end up installing Packman since I need some multimedia
applications (VLC, mplayer, etc.). So I may just do it the same way as was
tested. After configuring the Packman repositories, did you also switch
vendor (to Packman) as recommended on the openSUSE website? I have always
been nervous about doing this, but I guess it involves only multimedia
packages.
2) Is it possible to use the kwin-decor-suse2-0.4.1 style in the Trinity
desktop? I understand that KDE3 and Trinity packages cannot coexist, but
would it be in principle possible to download the RPM:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/x86_64/kde3-kwinsty
le-suse2-0.4.1-lp152.57.2.x86_64.rpm
and move the files to folders where Trinity would find them? Or, is there a
window decoration style in Trinity that looks similar to SUSE2 decor?
No, this won't work.
Any package related to kde3 libraries should be patched/rebuilt from source
for the Trinity desktop.
In theory, any KDE3 package can be patched/rebuilt for Trinity.
I don't know if there is something like Suse2 in available decorations.
If you want some KDE3 packages to be made available in Trinity, you can
submit packaging request here:
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues
I will do this.
3) What about the font "misc-console"? This used to be available in KDE3,
but I do not see a similar package in the Trinity repositories.
This package does not exist in Trinity currently.
Unlike 99% of the packages mentioned in previous question, you may probably
install this package then move the file from /opt/kde3/share/fonts/ to
/opt/trinity/share/fonts/
Thank you very much in advance for helping me with these questions!
Gianluca
