Update,

  It's working:

tde-sip-3.5.13_sru-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
tde-sip4-tqt-3.5.13_sru-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
tde-tdelibs-3.5.13_sru-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
tde-tqtinterface-3.5.13_sru-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz

  If this works out as well as I think it will, we should consider making the
update 3.5.13-sru an official branch that continues a Qt3 based Trinity. I have
always like the idea of:

TDE-classic (Qt3 based KDE 3.5 compatible TDE)
TDE         (TQt3 based)

  The development work can continue with TDE, while the compatible updates can
be cherrypicked for inclusion in the TDE-classic branch while preserving KDE 3.5
compatibility. The only work required will be working whatever GIT magic is
required to create the v3.5.13-sru top-level branch in the GIT tree so that a
global switch can be done easily between TDE and TDE-classic. I see a huge
benefit to the project for doing what has essentially already been done. That
will allow stable releases from 3.5.13-sru with milestone releases for R14.

  That provides the best of both worlds. With Qt4 not ready, I don't see any
reason to build further incompatibility with Qt3 into the only official branch
of the project. Adding v3.5.13-sru as an official branch solves that problem :)

  Great work Slavek! (Will see how good your cherrypicking is when the tdebase
build is done :)
