30th April 2023 marked '''the end of the 14.0.x branch of the Trinity Desktop Environment'''. It took more than 8 years, but finally the team of developers announced the availability of the '''14.1.x''' branch of the graphical environment and the first public release of the series. '''There will be no more releases in the R14.0.x series'''.
   −
30th October 2022 marked the release of latest '''Trinity Desktop Environment''': '''14.0.13'''. A support release aimed at fixing open bugs, enhancing stability of the desktop environment and adding some minor features. Being a maintenance release, new features meant for standard users are very few, nevertheless something changed in the development and build department. For a full list of changes to the '''Trinity Desktop Environment''', please consult the release notes:
+
The new release of the desktop environment comes with a lot of upgrades, regarding both source code and performances, and the usual fixes to all the issues opened during the previous 6 months since the older stable release was announced. Some among the many improvements introduced are:
−
* [https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.13 14.0.13 release notes].
+
* Added support for encrypted disks through the '''LUKS''' interface of the '''Linux kernel'''.
 +
* Added a new notification interface for storage devices and related plug / unplug events.
 +
* Initial basic support for PulseAudio.
 +
* Added support for the '''PKI''' interface which should ease the adoption and management of '''x.509 certificates''', '''Smart Card Readers''' and other cryptographic devices and their integration with TDE applications.
 +
* A new application to manage Bluetooth functionality (tdebluez).
 +
* A new multimedia player: '''kplayer''' based on Mplayer. The need for this was felt, given the rapid aging of some of the Tdemultimedia included applications.
 +
* Some new themes based on Icewm, a window manager for the X Window System.
 +
* Added support for the '''lzip / lzma''' compression algorithm in Ark. A very nice touch given the increasing importance that this format is assuming with users.
 +
* A new session panel for Kate.
 +
* The complete removal of Python 2 in favor of '''Python 3''' throughout TDE.
 +
* A lot of improvements to the configuration programs and their GUIs.
 +
Many more improvements, some of which are not immediately evident, were introduced to the services the desktop environment relies on.

I'll detail the '''changes introduced in the scripts I use to build working packages of TDE for Slackware Linux 15.0''' for the '''amd64''', '''arm''' and '''x86''' architectures in the following article.

=== What's New ===
+
=== Code Cleanup ===
−
Updates are somewhat numbered when compared to the latest stable release that came out at the same time of the Slackware one. I took the opportunity to clean up the scripts removing:
+
A new development branch is the perfect time for refactoring code, removing from scripts all of the code, variables, functions, which, now useless, were introduced to build very old releases. The 14.1.x series is not meant to be backward compatible with previous ones and
−
* Code invoking old patches, unneeded by recent releases.
+
allows you to start from scratch. This time I removed the '''SOURCE_SUBDIR''' variable form every and each SlackBuild script. The variable was unused anyway and has been for a long time. Its removal does not affect the build procedure in any noticeable way.
−
* Commented code, used for older TDE releases, but redundant for recent ones.
+
----
−
* Code related to '''autotools''' in packages fully migrated to '''cmake'''.
+
 
−
* Support for the naming conventions of old archives. Developers seem to have, at last, agreed on a naming convention and supporting all the old alternatives is useless.
+
=== New Build Options ===
 +
Something that impacted a great number of the build scripts is the list of options passed to the compiler and linker through the '''SLKCFLAGS''' variable. For reasons still unknown, '''cmake''' seems not to read or the environment variable '''LD_LIBRARY_PATH''' and consequently cannot set the correct path for libraries. As a result almost all of the SlackBuild scripts for TDE exit almost immediately returning an error and complaining about missing '''tqt3''' libraries. I've been building TDE packages for more than a decade now and this is the first time I stumble onto a change affecting so many. Something similar occurred in the past, from time to time, but was usually limited to the lone stray package. The issue was quickly fixed adding the following line of code when invoking '''cmake''':
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  # Add some include paths to the standard compiler flags otherwise the build
 +
  # process will fail with an error
 +
  SLKCFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS} -L ${QTDIR}/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}"
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +

=== Python ===
 +
'''Removing Python 2 support''' from the whole infrastructure of the Trinity Desktop Environment should be an easy task. Slackware Linux, as many other distros, introduced Python 3 support a long time ago. Actually the replacement has consequences and some cannot be ignored when building packages. In spite of Slackware Linux supporting Python 3, '''it includes the Python 2 series as well''' and Python 2 remains the default choice due mainly to the huge number of libraries that, in spite of the 15 year that passed since Python 3 was first introduced, have not been ported yet. '''The python command defaults to the Python 2 interpreter''' in Slackware. To run Python 3, you use the '''python3''' command, that loads the interpreter and sets the environment variables, system paths, libraries and extensions for version 3. All of the Python related scripts require, as a direct consequence, some work to:
 +
* Invoke Python 3 instead of Python 2, which is not supported anymore.
 +
* Update the Python code using a Python 3 compliant syntax. Python 3 is not backward compatible with Python 2.
 +
 
 +
A list of packages which underwent some upgrade work follow.
 +
 
 +
==== Pytde ====
 +
The '''python-trinity''' package was renamed into '''pytde''', using the name introduced upstream by the project developers. The same name was chosen for the SlackBuild script and the directory containing it. To configure and build the code, every reference to Python 2 was removed from the script and replaced with Python 3 lines of code. The lines of code setting the system paths were updated from:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  # Define some python related variables.
 +
  export PYTHON_VER=$( python -V 2>&1 | cut -f 2 -d' ' | cut -f 1-2 -d. )
 +
  export PYTHON_LIB=$( python -c 'from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()' )
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
to:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  # Define some python related variables.
 +
  export PYTHON_VER=$( python3 -V 2>&1 | cut -f 2 -d' ' | cut -f 1-2 -d. )
 +
  # Add a couple of parentheses to comply with python 3 new syntax
 +
  export PYTHON_LIB=$( python3 -c 'from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print( get_python_lib())' )
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
Likewise the lines of code invoking the configuration script:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  CFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
 +
  CXXFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
 +
  python ./configure.py \
 +
      -d "${PYTHON_LIB}" \
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
were updated to:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  CFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
 +
  CXXFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
 +
  python3 ./configure.py \
 +
      -d "${PYTHON_LIB}" \
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
==== Pytdeextensions ====
 +
'''Pytdeextensions''' is a library of Python bindings for the Trinity toolkit making hundreds of classes available to Python programmers. The lines of code of the script responsible for building and packaging the source code are written in '''Python 3''' thus the script invoking command was updated, replacing:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  # Configure, build and install the package
 +
  python ./setup.py install --verbose --root=${PKG} \
 +
      2>&1 | tee ${OUTPUT}/${PRGNAM}_build.log
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
with:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  # Configure, build and install the package
 +
  python3 ./setup.py install --verbose --root=${PKG} \
 +
      2>&1 | tee ${OUTPUT}/${PRGNAM}_build.log
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
in order to avoid errors triggered by incompatibility between programming language versions.
 +
 
 +
==== Pytqt ====
 +
The '''python-tqt''' package was renamed into '''pytde''' and so was the SlackBuild script and the directory where it is located. All of this to comply to the new name adopted with Trinity Desktop Environment 14.1.0. Some other parts of the script underwent significant changes:
 +
 
 +
The tqt3 path is now passed to the linker. This required changing the line:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  SLKCFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS} -I/usr/include/tqt -I${PREFIX_TDE}/include"
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
into:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  SLKCFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS} -I/usr/include/tqt -I${PREFIX_TDE}/include -L ${QTDIR}/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}"
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
The script invoking code was likewise changed from:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  python configure.py -z \
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
to:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  python3 configure.py -z \
 +
      -q ${QTDIR} \
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
setting Python 3 as default, to ensure all of the modules will be built for the latest language version and later installed in the proper directory. Moreover the tqt3 library path is now passed to the script through the ''-q'' option. An addition required to prevent the script from searching it in the default ''/usr'' directory, just to fail.
 +
 
 +
==== Sip4-tqt ====
 +
The package name remains unchanged despite its internal module being renamed in '''sip_tqt'''. The script was migrated to Python 3 updating line:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  python configure.py \
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
with:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  python3 configure.py \
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
thus making certain that all compiled modules will be '''TDE compatible''' and '''installed in Python 3 specific directories''' instead of Python 2 ones. Otherwise, sip-tqt modules won't be correctly detected by other parts of the desktop environment.
 +

=== Code Cleanup ===
+
=== Some More Packet Specific Changes ===
−
Code of the following packages was subject to some cleanup. I hope the resulting scripts to grant a small performance increase and be better suited for future updates and maintenance.
+
Some more scripts required adjustments to work properly with the latest TDE release. A list of updated packages and details about the rewritten code follow:
−

  −
:* '''tqtinterface'''.
  −
A list of packages which underwent more substantial changes follow.
     −
=== Arts ===
+
==== Cmake ====
−
The path of the directory targeted for documentation files was updated to comply with the recent file layout of the package. This is a minor update that prevents an error from arising during package build, but does not affect the package or the included server and binary files otherwise.
+
The '''cmake''' package was renamed into '''tde-cmake''' and its SlackBuild script and related directory likewise. All of this to comply with the new naming convention adopted by the TDE development team and to not incur in chaos and mistakes.
   −
=== Libcarddav ===
+
==== Libtdeldap ====
−
The code lines responsible for building man pages were removed. This is again a minor update, that does not affect package functionality.
+
The '''libtdeldap''' library introduced a new dependency: '''Heimdal 7.7.0'''. [https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/wiki Heimdal] is a free and libre implementation of the '''Kerberos 5''' protocol. [http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/ Kerberos] is a network authentication protocol that uses tickets to allow people to prove their identity over a non secure network. [https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/wiki Heimdal] is meant to replace the standard [http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/ Kerberos] implementation included in Slackware Linux 15.0. Slackware does not include an official Heimdal package, luckily a build script is provided through the [https://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/network/heimdal/ www.slackbuilds.org] web site. The package built using the script can coexist with the standard one and both can be installed on the same Linux box with no drawback whatsoever.
   −
=== Libr ===
+
Install [https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/wiki Heimdal] '''before you run the libtdeldap build script'''. The SlackBuild script requires some retouching to set the proper paths where to look for the Heimdal '''include files''' and '''libraries'''. With no update, the script exits almost immediately lamenting the libraries are unavailable even when they are correctly installed.
−
The code lines responsible for building man pages were removed. This is a minor update that prevents an error from arising during package build, but does not affect the library in any way.
     −
=== Polkit-tqt ===
+
The first change consists of adding the proper paths to the '''SLKCFLAGS''' variable, which includes a list of options to pass to '''cmake, the compiler and the linker:
−
The code invoking '''cmake''' was refactored removing some options that were ignored during the actual configuration of the source code therefore the update does not affect the generated package, but only its configuration.
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  # Add some include paths to the standard compiler flags otherwise the build
 +
  # process will fail with an error
 +
  SLKCFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS} -I /usr/heimdal/include -L ${QTDIR}/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} -L /usr/heimdal/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}"
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
   −
=== Python-tqt ===
+
The second and last change consists of setting the proper values for the variables '''DHEIMDAL_INCLUDEDIR''' and '''DHEIMDAL_LIBDIR''', later used by '''cmake''' when configuring the source code:
−
All references to '''Python 2''' were removed thus concluding the migration to '''Python 3'''. The new package includes only one directory for code snippets used in the documentation. If you still need Python 2 for your installation, you are strongly discouraged from upgrading TDE to release 14.0.13.
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  cmake ${TMP}/tmp-${PRGNAM}/${DIR_SRC} \
 +
      -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
 +
      -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="${SLKCFLAGS} ${DEBUG_CMAKE_OPT}" \
 +
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${PREFIX} \
 +
      -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH="OFF" \
 +
      -DLIB_SUFFIX=${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
 +
      -DMAN_INSTALL_DIR=${MANDIR} \
 +
      -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=${SYSCONFDIR} \
 +
      -DHEIMDAL_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/heimdal/include \
 +
      -DHEIMDAL_LIBDIR=/usr/heimdal/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
 +
      -DBUILD_ALL=ON \
 +
      2>&1 | tee -a ${OUTPUT}/${PRGNAM}_configure.log
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
   −
=== Tdebindings ===
+
The updated script will build properly a package for the library enabling the '''LDAP''' protocol in TDE.
−
After the aforementioned code cleanup, I tested removing the '''HACK_PERL''' variable and the related hack from the SlackBuild script for the '''tdebindings''' package. The variable was introduces in TDE 14.0.6 to consent building bindings for the Perl programming language. The tests performed were unsuccessful. The update caused configuration errors resulting in an incomplete package: the great majority of the libraries related to the Perl, Python, Ruby and more programming languages were missing. Even worse, the missing bindings '''made it impossible to build a working libtqt-perl package'''. The hack was introduced again; it is not yet time to do without it.
+
 
 +
==== Libtqt-perl ====
 +
The latest library release comes with updates to the configuration script therefore the lines of code invoking it required to be updated accordingly:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  CFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
 +
  CXXFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
 +
  ./configure \
 +
      ${DEBUG_AUTOTOOL_OPT} \
 +
      --prefix=${PREFIX} \
 +
      --with-qt-dir=${PREFIX} \
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
mutated in:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
  CFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
 +
  CXXFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
 +
  ./configure \
 +
      ${DEBUG_AUTOTOOL_OPT} \
 +
      --prefix=${PREFIX} \
 +
      --with-tqt-dir=${PREFIX} \
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
The old deprecated parameter ''--with-qt-dir'' was replaced with the new ''--with-tqt-dir'' one.
 +
 
 +
==== Tdebase ====
 +
Some deprecated options, already commented out, were definitively removed from the '''cmake''' command line. The options presence could crash the script on Amd64 systems. The aforementioned options were unused for a long time, the update does not affect the resulting binary files in any way.
