Subject: Replacing Tomboy with Gnote in Fedora GNOME group

Hi,

I just packaged and pushed in Gnote, a a port of Tomboy to C++ for
rawhide (and Fedora 10), a couple of days back. Gnote is compatible with
Tomboy and you can just cp .tomboy to .gnote and use the notes. The user
interface is exactly the same.

The default GNOME group includes Tomboy which pulls in a considerably
large number of dependencies. A quick test on a system pulls in 34 MB
worth of dependencies (including 4.6 MB for Tomboy alone), while a
install of Gnote pulls in just 582kb (I have not counted gtkmm since it
is already required by gnome-system-monitor). Tomboy is not installed on
the live cd already due to lack of space. Perhaps we can squeeze in
Gnote as a replacement for Tomboy in the Fedora GNOME group?

As a side note, anyone interested in gnote, feel free to sign-up as
co-maintainers.

Rahul

Updating the gnome-software-development group in comps

I recently noticed that the gnome-software-development group in comps has some things in the default install that should probably be relegated to optional nowadays: eel2-devel libgnomeprintui22-devel libart_lgpl-devel are the immediate candidates. And glade2 should probably be replaced by glade3. If nobody objects violently, I'll make these changes later this week.

Thanks Rahul, I was eagerly awaiting to replace Tomboy with something and get rid of the last trace of Mono from my computer. However, I have a couple of minor observations: - it would be handy if Gnote would automatically import at the first use the existing notes from Tomboy (it seems a manual copy do the job); - Gnote installs an entry under Applications->Accessories while Tomboy can be found in the "Add to Panel" dialog, it would be handy for Gnote to be launched in the same way as Tomboy. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
