Bug#272264: Tomboy

[Guido Trotter]

Hi!

I'm mailing everyone interested in tomboy try to see if we can sort it out and
upload it in the archive (even if it won't probably reach sarge, unless mono is
sorted out too...).

I've seen that Ben has around some 0.1.2 and 0.2.2 packages on mentors...
No 0.3.1 though, Ben are you still maintaining it? 

Luca instead on http://luca.pca.it/debian/ has 0.3.1 and so do I on
http://people.debian.org/~ultrotter/tomboy/ 

So... What should we do? I'm still willing to sponsor/comaintain the package,
but since I'm a bit short in free time I'd rather comaintain starting from what
I have (so I don't have to check the package, and we can build on top of it). ;)

Let me know something, anyway!

Guido

I am, I have 0.3.1 packaged.

I'd be happy to maintain the package - it would be great if you could
sponsor it.

> Let me know something, anyway!

The delay is really that the artwork is copywritten - and non-free. I
have spoken to Alex and he's happy to use the icon designed by Jakub
Steiner. I mailed him for an updated version but he hasn't got back to
me.

I'll upload 0.3.1 into mentors anyway, and we can go from there I guess.

Cheers,

Ben

Ok, I'm giving up, as I'm discovering the Emacs-related world and so
I think I won't use Tomboy anymore.

Ben, please let me know as soon as your 0.3.1 Debian package (not the
sources) will be available, so I can delete mine from my repository
and point to your package.

Have a good work!

Thx, bye,

I'm obviously willing to take responsibility for Tomboy. I can build on top 
of what you've
currently got. That's not a problem.
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.
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.

Well, I don't have a PPC so I never built tomboy for other arch than
i386, but noone asked me for that ;-)

Anyway, as Ben already stated, the problem is that the TinTin icon is
copyrighted and so until a new icon is chosen, Tomboy cannot enter
Debian.

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.

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.

There is some consternation as to the actual graphic to use, Jakub
Steiner did a really nice one, so I'll use that.

I know Alex wasn't too enthused about the actual icon, but he's happy
for it to change.

I'll change it, and upload the packages.

Cheers,

Ben

There seems to be at least 3 people interested in maintaining this: Ben,
Guido and Eric.

I suggest to create a tomboy project on Alioth, and then comaintain
with it.

svn-buildpackage is a really nice tool I suggest to look into for the
task.

If you need help with Alioth, I can show you how to setup svn commit
notification e-mails and an upload queue for a separate repository.


Ciao,

Enrico

I've uploaded powerpc packages to mentors with the updated icon.

I'll build i386 packages asap.

Bug#272264: tomboy debs, sponsor offer

[Dave Beckett]

Are there any public debs of this yet?  We were discussing it on #debian-mono
and I checked the ITP for news.Good to see the icon has been sorted out.

There's no chance of it reaching sarge, that's clear as it depends on mono
which isn't going in.  However if it goes into unstable that'd be great.

I'm a DD and happy to sponsor it.

Dave

actually I read all the related information and it seems that the only
Debian package available (apart mine) is the one mentioned in
Debian-mentors [3], which is for the old Tomboy 0.1.2 version.

But there's the ITP you mentioned, the post by Andrew Lau on
GNOMEDesktop.org [4] and via Google you can find something else [5].

I don't necessarily want to be the Debian maintainer, I created the
Debian package as a friend of mine asked me for and then as I wanted to
to practive creating Debian package I followed the Debian New
Maintainers' Guide [6] to re-packaging it.

BTW, it seems that no one is officially working on Debian Tomboy [7].

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

I have the Tomboy packages available at http://www.serosoft.com/debian
and would be interested in being the maintainer of Tomboy.

Perhaps if anyone also wishes to be maintainer, we could sort it out
between us.

Cheers,

Ben

Hi, as it seems like interest in having Tomboy officially included in
Debian has returned, I now withdraw my intention to package it.

Bug#272264: tomboy debs for mono 1.0 and mono 1.1

[Dave Beckett]

Having got no reply to my status query for a week, I've made some tomboy
debs.

I looked at the version on mentors but instead decided to start
with the ubuntu packaging and go from there, fixing the images problem. 
I've made a couple of versions now, the most recent one for the mono 1.1
debs that the Debian Mono Group is testing at present. The results are
lintian, linda clean and work ok.

The debs for
  mono 1.0 (tomboy 0.3.2-1)
  mono 1.1 experimental http://debian.meebey.net/mono/ (tomboy 0.3.2-3)
are at
  http://download.dajobe.org/debian/experimental/

I think Tomboy is ready to go into the archive, at least in
experimental, probably tracking the mono1 .1 debs.  I didn't do the ITP,
but if it's still hanging about in a week, I'd like to take it forward.

Dave
