Comment:
Inclusion of qt3 into repository is unlikely.

Comment:
@Chocimier but there's a fork called tqt3 that's still maintained and used by this desktop environment. So you don't have to rely on an old and officially unsupported qt3. 

tqt3 - https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tqt3/

Comment:
Right, as @kpvsky pointed out TDE maintains the qt3 sw. I'd like to see TDE in void :-)

I'm curious about this too so I'm going to see if I can get a build happening, will post here if it goes anywhere.

Status update:
I have the packages [here](https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules) up to `tdebase` building and running core applications with a few features turned off, you can check the current progress [here](https://github.com/ScrelliCopter/void-packages/commits/trinity).
I haven't tested running a full desktop environment yet, I'll report back if I do get that working & with more details on what I have and haven't gotten to work.

**EDIT:** TDE running via Xephyr with the following script:
```shell
#/bin/sh -e
SCREEN=800x600
NEW_DISPLAY=:1
Xephyr -br -ac -noreset -screen ${SCREEN} ${NEW_DISPLAY} &

PREFIX=/opt/trinity
export DISPLAY=${NEW_DISPLAY}
export PATH=${PREFIX}/bin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PREFIX}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
exec starttde
```

Maybe I'll try to continue packaging that software to xbps. Also, the newer version of TDE has been released some time ago.

Comment:
@kpvsky I'm late, but feel free to use my progress as a base. Iirc I left it because it's a lot of work to get everything else working and probably in a state that the core team would find acceptable, and the only member of the core team who was interested was Juan who is long gone.

Is there still interest in getting this to work?
I really want a systemd-free Linux with Trinity on my Raspi 400.
I may be able to look into it and finish the port if there's still interest in getting this merged.
Beware,I'm totally new to Void Linux (coming from Manjaro KDE),but the packaging tools look pretty good so I think I could possibly get it to work.

TDE is an amazing desktop, in my experience, so it would be great to have it on Void. So I 100% support this request.

Sorry for my late response, but I want to clarify that I don't have any interest anymore in getting this to work since I don't use void anymore on desktop. Maybe there are other people who would like to get the latest TDE running under void linux.

Comment:
After happily using void for some time, KDE was upgraded to KDE 6 (it's still called kde5, which is misleading) which broke things and cost me hours. I still can't save my session, regardless of whether I choose X11 or Wayland.

This has been a serial issue with KDE. I recall a previous x.0 release (probably KDE 4.0) which was totally unusable but had been bundled into a distro I tried. When I complained I was chastised by the KDE people for expecting an X.0 release to be stable! KDE upgrades are mostly about pointless visual fluff (disrgarding things that broke, I don't notice any functional improvement that's relevant to me) and never to be trusted. The only thing I can be grateful for is that I didn't hit this [shocking rm -rf / issue](https://linuxiac.com/usage-of-plasma-6-global-themes-may-pose-serious-risks/).

Unfortunately, I have too many other things to take this on now, but I hereby add my vote to those who would love to see Trinity on void.

Comment:
I will look at packaging TDE this or the next week in my free time and pick up parts that were done by @ScrelliCopter 4 years ago. I can't believe people are still interested in running TDE on Void Linux.

While this can be packaged to xbps, I don't think It will ever be accepted into the official Void Linux repositories. Fortunately xbps supports custom repositories so everything can be provided unofficially.

Comment:
Unless you think it's worth packaging for your own benefit, I wouldn't go just by my comment, Kacper, especially if you don't think it will be accepted as an official package. No one else has commented on this issue this year and I'm used to being in a minority.

(And I'm not entitled to ask others for things like this: I do have several open source contributions "planned" but they seem to get indefinitely displaced by other priorities.)
