Have you tried to compile/run freemind with any of the available
DFSG-free JREs so far?

Recently I spent a few hours on creating a freemind package myself,
since I hadn't seen the links to your package so far. If you want,
I'll be happy to sponsor your package.

Cheers,

Hi,

hope this is OK to reply-to-all in such cases...

Not personally, but some users have unintentionally and unsuccessfully
tried to start FreeMind with kaffe and gcj. Would I get a different
result if I would try to _compile_ first FreeMind with whatever free JDK?

It would be a pleasure, I just need to find a key signer nearby. Anybody
living around Böblingen (or Stuttgart)?
So, what would be the next steps? Remember: I'm still going through the
documentation (and I didn't think it would be so quick to get a sponsor
:-) ).

Thanks, Eric

Thanks for your bug report.

[Duncan Lithgow (duncan-lithgow)]

Great software - I look forward to seeing it in Feisty+1.

[maclabs (maclabs)]

Freemind is one of the best opensource software packages I use. Eagerly await it in Feisty.

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

approving.

According to
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/text/freemind

Hardy ships with version 7.1 of Freemind. Hardy should ship with at least latest stable version 0.8.
But better ship with latest 0.9 beta.

See bug #182927

[GercoKees (gercokees)]

hmm, the status says fix released... but i do think it is still not packaged and available in the repo's... see for example bug no: #182927.
So i think we should change the status back here?

[mac.ryan (macryan)]

Oh... yes please, reopen this request! Freemind 0.7 compares to 0.9 like Windows 3.1 compares to XP! :( 0.8 - I would say - is the very minimum it makes sense to package.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I've un-duped bug 182927 instead.
This particular bug here was about importing freemind into Ubuntu, and is really fixed.

Somebody needs to step up, file a FeatureFreeze exception and provide a package for it. It does not help to complain, somebody needs to do it.

[GercoKees (gercokees)]

Yup, I agree the un-duping. Sorry, i was to quick marking duplicates...

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

desktop team, can you take a look at this please?

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

meh... sorry, was confused about with the "dupe" as well. Setting back to released, subscribing you to the upgrade bug.
