Today I had a look at tomboy, a note taking application for the desktop.
Fortunately there was an ebuild in portage already, but it was a little outdated (version 0.2.2-something vs. the current 0.3.1). So I copied the ebuild file over to my portage overlay, renamed it to read …0.3.1.ebuild and emerged it.
Installation went w/o any problem, but all the software did when I called it from the command line, was writing “All done. Ciao!”. Wtf?
But after using Google I was able to find an answer: tomboy is supposed to run as applet. So I added an applet, and – what can you say? – there really was a tomboy applet.
Yay. works for me.
Now I “only” have to get beagle working :-/ …
