Trinity Desktop Environment

Resources

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) is [[Article description::a free and open-source desktop environment forked from KDE 3.5.]] Due to the fact it is forked from an old version of KDE (which is itself a resource-heavy desktop environment) it is considered light-medium weight by today's standards.

Preparation

repos.conf

Create a file in the /etc/portage/repos.conf directory (create the repos.conf directory first if it does not exist) called trinity.conf. Fill the file's contents with the following code:

FILE /etc/portage/repos.conf/trinity.conf

<syntaxhighlight lang="ini">[trinity]
location = /usr/local/overlay/trinity
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/Fat-Zer/trinity.git
auto-sync = yes
masters = gentoo</syntaxhighlight>

USE flags

The qt3 USE flag must be unmasked in order to install Trinity. To do this, run:

root #mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile

root #

echo -qt3 >> /etc/portage/profile/use.mask

root #

mkdir -p /etc/portage/packages.keywords/

root #

cp $(portageq get_repo_path / trinity)/Documentation/trinity.3.5.13.2.keywords /etc/portage/packages.keywords/
