Hi,

I saw FreeMind on fp.o/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList page and took a
brief look. There's a JPackage SRPM available at [1] and it looks like
the only dependency we don't yet have in Fedora is jcalendar [2]. Also,
apparently there's an issue with batik 1.7 which is what we have in
Fedora [3].

Just thought I'd post this in case anyone was interested.

Andrew

I've already packaged freemind 0.9.0 Beta for Mandriva
<http://sophie.zarb.org/srpm/cooker/freemind> (the freemind rpm on the
upstream website is of little help here).

This doesn't have the jcalendar dependency. The Java dependencies for
this version are: batik batik-squiggle crimson echomine-muse fop
jakarta-commons-lang jakarta-oro javahelp2 jgoodies-forms jibx simplyhtml.

The one issue is <https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=37401>.
Basically, I looked everywhere and I could not find the version of
simplyhtml that upstream is using, so the package is broken.

I have been using Freemind in windows for a while now, and now I have installed Ubuntu.* I can't figure out how to install Freemind.* I thought that I had followed the instructions on the Freemind site, but it doesn't show up.

Does anyone know how to do it?
I'm not very knowlegable about Linux, and don't know the terms yet.* I need a hand holding type of instruction:* one syllable words and so forth.

Description: A Java Program for creating and viewing Mindmaps
Taking the Concept-Mapping approach to Human-Computer Interface design.
A mind mapper, and at the same time an easy-to-operate hierarchical editor
with strong emphasis on folding. These two are not really two different
things, just two different descriptions of a single application. Often used
for knowledge and content management.

It's in Multiverse. You can install it with your favourite package
manager.... :@)

I just installed it on my Kubuntu Hardy desktop.* There doesn't seem to
be a menu item anywhere.* So I made one.* Name Freemind... command
freemind.* There's a script in /usr/bin which runs the program.* I
assume there's a way to edit the GNOME menu if you're running Ubuntu.

I haven't had it installed for a couple of years - my brother-in-law loves
it, so I figured I'd give it a try - and that was a problem even then.
You'd think menus would be something pretty obvious...

I'm not sure if this will cure the menu option but this will add a
Debian menu with many programs that do not show up in Gnome/Kubuntu
menus:

#Debian Menu
sudo apt-get install menu menu-xdg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure menu
sudo dpkg-reconfigure menu-xdg
sudo update-menus

Logout and back in and you should now have a Debian menu.

FreeMind is put in the Debian/Applications/Text submenu...*



<rant>

<sigh/>* One thing about Debian-based distros I really dislike is
the menu system.* Why is there so much duplication?* Why not a standard
menu system with everything in appropriate categories on the top-level
menu????* Or is it the same with all distros?

</rant>



Sorry for the rant...*
