Felix - you are going to be a happy man :)

I don't know about the tumbleweed aspect of it, but Ilya Chernykh and Robert
Xu (primary packager working Trinity) are working Trinity for OpenSUSE. See:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Abravoall1552%3Atrinity

As you know, Ilya has done a fantastic job keeping KDE3 updated for openSuSE
and there effort to bring Trinity packages to openSuSE is well underway.

Currently the following KDE3 modules have been ported to cmake and provide a
working Trinity desktop (from svn code):

tqtinterface (trinity Qt interface - Currently Qt3, but designed for Qt4 use)
arts
kdelibs
kdebase (you can start Trinity after building and installing kdebase)

kdevelop
kdewebdev (including your favorite Quanta+)

The desktop runs very very well.

Before building you need to build and install 2 dependencies:

Qt3 3.3.8c
(patched for TQt:
http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Developers/Qt3)
pyqt3

The main Trinity site is:

Status on Qt4 conversion:

Also, if you are good with CMake or kde3, then Trinity can use your help. I am
currently working on a 'recipe' that will outline conversion of existing kde3
modules to cmake. (I'm still trying to learn cmake, so I don't have details yet)
The more help Trinity can get, then the sooner 3.5.13 will be out :)

On balance, the Trinity project has made great headway. The group of folks
working the project are fun to deal with. There are binaries for Debian,
Slackware, Ubuntu built on 3.5.12 and there are binaries from svn (developement
packages) for Arch, Mandriva and openSuSE.

I have worked Trinity for Arch and have a somewhat more detailed wiki page on
Trinity status and what *not* to do when building trinity there:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trinity

From all indications, you will have a 'choice' to select ( enlightenment,
fluxbox, gnome, *KDE3* [Trinity], KDE4, lxde, etc... ) from the chooser menu for
many releases to come. And... that's what Linux is about....
