I hope all is well. :) Good to be back. 2013 will go down as the year everything broke (4-servers, telephone system, copiers, etc.., the economy in East Texas hit rock bottom, but bankruptcy was avoided by the skin of my teeth ;-) I just hope my efforts building tde on Arch are not in vain with all the changes in Arch over the past year. The good news, the major filesystem reorganizations and move to systemd are complete and the dust has settled. From what I can tell, tde should run, but the changes to my build scripts will not be negligible... I will also have to find a good systemd unit-file cheat-sheet for tde, though there should not be too much to it. > >> The question that >> brought up was "do I need to modify any of the scripts I use that >> update my >> local git repo to handle the 'origin/v3.5.13-sru' designation, or >> will the >> change be handled by the .gitmodule data? > > Look at the scripts directory: > > http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/scripts/tree/ > > Basically all I do is run switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean > inside a wrapper script. Ran that version, it did complete, but I did get a number of strange conflict errors at the beginning: Adding main/thirdparty/libreoffice/3.3.2/patches/libreoffice-trinity-debian.diff Adding main/thirdparty/libreoffice/3.3.2/patches/NOTES CONFLICT (directory/file): There is a directory with name main/thirdparty in HEAD. Adding main/thirdparty as main/thirdparty~023b18ec6b52629d8666d284152f6147af098595 Auto-merging main/tdewebdev CONFLICT (submodule): Merge conflict in main/tdewebdev Auto-merging main/tdevelop CONFLICT (submodule): Merge conflict in main/tdevelop Auto-merging main/tdeutils CONFLICT (submodule): Merge conflict in main/tdeutils Auto-merging main/tdetoys ... The concern I have is I get those CONFLICT messages even if I re-run the script after it completes. Is there some magic git command I should run to resolve the CONFLICT? > >> What is the state of HAL requirements? I presume it is still >> fully required in >> 3.5.13, but what about 14?

I'll try pulling the 3.5.13 updates in a little bit (after a few more Christmas light strands go up... - I hate burned out bulbs....) I'll let you know how the 3.5.13 update goes. -- David C.
