Gtk+ 2 is deprecated, and we should not add new applications using it. So it sounds like the best option for now would be to build it with Qt support only. Why is that limited to 64-bit architectures? > A script exists that will convert the zip file downloaded from github > to a 'kit' ready for debuild. Depending on what your script does, the 'kit' might not include what we would consider the full source code. The script itself would also need to be made public, usually as part of the source package. It is generally preferable for Debian source packages to start from a tarball that exactly matches an upstream release. > 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. In any case this will have to go into unstable first, and then (if all goes well) it can go into bullseye and maybe buster-backports. It won't be added to buster as we don't add new applications to stable releases. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings It is easier to write an incorrect program than to understand a correct one.
