Guys, Albert Vaca has built kdemod3 updates with the Trinity 3.5.12 (stable) code base. The repository for the binaries is: [kdemod3] Server = http://rapinjam.com/beta/lefa/kdemod3/i686/ or [kdemod3] Server = http://rapinjam.com/beta/lefa/kdemod3/x86_64/ I updated an i686 box last night after adding the repository with: pacman -S kdemod3-complete <snip> Total Download Size: 172.53 MB Total Installed Size: 582.04 MB <snip> checking package integrity... (155/155) checking for file conflicts [####################################################] 100% <snip> (155/155) installing kdemod3-tools [####################################################] 100% Restart the desktop and you will be greeted with the Trinity 3.5.12 initial setup dialog. Everything seems to run fine. I'll have more time to work with the desktop later today and tomorrow. If you are interested in trying it, you can simply add the repo and install the binaries. The thanks goes to Albert for his effort. I've been working with the svn (3.5.13 development) code. It was just coincidence that Albert and I ended up in somewhat the same place at the same time :) This grew out of the old forum thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=97612&p=4 -- David C.
