Packaging guideline

To-do

This section has not been written/completed yet. You can contribute to Trinity by writing or finalizing this section.

This is a reference document meant to provide packagers with guidelines on how to package Trinity.

General

• Prefer splitting big packages (tdebase, tdegraphics, koffice and such) into smaller packages by component.
  • If you do this, consider providing the appropriate meta-packages.
• Prefer a prefix under the /opt hierarchy (e.g. /opt/trinity or /opt/tde). It is generally considered a good packaging practice to install big packages into /opt.

Individual packages

• KOffice: See the corresponding README.PACKAGERS.

Upstream

• Consider getting in touch with us if you want to provide official packaging for your distribution.
• The packaging repository is tde-packaging and is hosted on TGW.
