  Description     : Cross Platform Notes

tomboy-ng is a rewrite of the old favorite, Tomboy Notes.
 Tomboy had become difficult to maintain, unusable on some of the
 platforms it once supported and required substantial dependencies.
 Like the original, tomboy-ng supports a range of text enhancements,
 automatic links to other notes, shows multiple notes, file sync to
 other systems, printing, multi language (only English and Spanish so
 far), searching. tomboy-ng uses the same file format and will sync
 to the same file sync repository.
 In addition, tomboy-ng can manage its backup files, take snapshots
 of all notes and config data, has a built in calculator, detailed
 help notes, spell check, single note mode.
 tomboy-ng will sync, over the internet, using sshfs to any server the
 owner can ssh to.
 tomboy-ng is built, from the same source, to work with 32 or 64 bit
 GTK2, Qt5 (64bit only) and a list including Windows, MacOS, Raspbian.
 It can be built for GTK3 but not to a satisfactory standard as yet.
 A script exists that will convert the zip file downloaded from github
 to a 'kit' ready for debuild.
 A tomboy-ng binary install uses about 5Meg, in most systems little or
 no additional packages are required.
 Some issues remain about building in a manner appropriate for Debian.
 Its not clear, at present, if tomboy-ng will build satisfactory using
 the version of Lazarus in Buster.  Bullseye is fine.
