With so many people wanting this package, I can't believe it isn't available from Debian yet. I've been a bit reserved about maintaining it because I didn't want to step on any toes but here we are six months later and still no results. I was forced to make my own package because I need binaries for PPC.
I now have a PPC machine so I'll produce PPC packages (Debian installed last night)
I didn't take over the ITP six months ago, so it's not been that long for me.
At this point my main concern is that Tomboy make its way into Sid. If you are looking for a commitment then here it is... I will take responsibility for this package. If this is acceptable then please contact me. If it's not, then please someone, step up and make this app part of Debian.
Tomboy uses copywritten graphics, so can't be included until that is removed. I've been talking with the upstream author about getting these removed, as soon as they are, I'll prepare i386 and PPC packages and upload them to mentors.
I understand people want to use it as it's a great bit of software - me as much as anyone, but we have to get the artwork resolved.
Hope this clarifies why there has been the delay.
Cheers,
Ben
Do we have to rely on the upstream author to remove the graphics? Can't we replace them ourselves and get the ball rolling? There are plenty of free graphics available in the hicolor theme.
