There are a lot of projects that I have on the OBS, but half of them are unmaintained, so don't go by them ;) I've been working on getting much of my work up to speed and working again after my dev machine crashed. I thought that I would be able to retrieve a lot of my work, but that didn't happen as much as I thought to plan >_>;;. I made a branch on the Trinity Desktop tde-packaging git, you can check it out on the suse branch. I'll be updating it as I get to packages. There are handy macros if you want to help :) I've been taking them from the KDE:KDE3 repo and restructuring the packages, removing old/obsoleted patches and other cruft. I upload them from the GIT to the OBS when I have time. If you need me to upload anything for building, feel free to ask :) (osc build is a good option though >_>) -- later daze. :: Robert Xu :: rxu.lincomlinux.org :: protocol.by/rxu
