Inclusion of qt3 into repository is unlikely.

[kpvsky]

@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/

Has this been assigned? I might take a look at it if not

[kpvsky]

@BenEvolent333 I don't think so.

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 up to tdebase building and running core applications with a few features turned off, you can check the current progress here.
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:

#/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

Screenshot bellow :)

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

@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.
