vym - request.

hi - after reading a few links to get here (I hope I've covered them all..)

Can someone help with a backport of a new app which is in dapper - into breezy.

dapper : http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/kde/vym

Having not actually used the app before - I can't vouch for it - however if it does what i think it does it is a critical app for me in my day to day working - along with advising others who may wish to move to ubuntu -.. who all use mindmanager from a copm called mindjet (who haven't unfort ported to linux.. ho hum).

Anyway the latest ver in dapper is 1.7.0 which wont work in breezy ..

see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111637

..thanks in adv

Have you looked at kdissert, another mindmapping tool, which *is* available for Breezy? (KDE of course, but I use Kubuntu anyway).

Otherwise it shouldn't be too hard to build from source (DON'T try and use a Dapper deb in Breezy).

Yes , I'm in the process of evaluating it. So far it looks ok - though not something I'd use all the time - and yes I do use these mindmaps all the time.

I've just knocked together a vym 1.7.0 deb (using alien on the rpm and tweaking the result) which installs fine on my machine. It's not official, but I can send it to you off-list if you like (size is 853 kb, if you send me an e-mail via the forum I'll get your address to send it to you).
