(Is this the correct web page?: > https://launchpad.net/~kde3-maintainers/+archive/trinity-svn-nightly/+index?start=75&batch=75) No, that is an old Ubuntu-Lucid-only archive. All new development takes place on the internal QuickBuild system due to build time constraints on the shared Launchpad system. I have added installation instructions to the main Trinity web page at: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/ Just click on your distro and follow the instructions. ;-) > > Does apt-get or Synaptic provide a way to reduce download bandwidth by > updating only the differences in packages (like rsync) rather than an > entire package? Not sure, sorry. I remember some discussion about that many years ago, but I do not know if that feature ever made it in to Debian. > > I realize these are not developer specific questions.

Much appreciated; I already have a few Debian testers but more is always better. Tim
