Tasque anyone using it

[pt123]

While trying to figure out how to get Tasks working in Tomboy, I stumbled across this powerful program called Tasque by Novell.

http://live.gnome.org/Tasque

But sadly it doesn't seem to be in the Hardy repos, and I couldn't find searching the net.

There is a video on it

It is able to download tasks lists from Remember the Milk.
Can recognise tasks from Tomboy.
It also has a plugin to work with Gnome-Do.

So is anyone here using it, and if possible know a place where I can get a DEB for it.

Another worry is that it uses Mono, I concerned now that some of my must-need apps in Linux are using Mono : Tomboy, F-SPot & Gnome-Do.

Bump anyone or are most here non-Task orientated users?

The reason there isn't a deb is because it is still in development. I don't know where a deb is, but you can compile it (for every dependancy missing, make sure you have the -dev files installed in synaptic). Then type make, and sudo make install.

If they did a deb all the enthusiasts can test it out. But it's a Novell product so they might not appreciate Ubuntu users.

Compile "make install" leaves an ugly mess. With debs its so easy to uninstall when you are finished with the program.

You know what? We would appreciate Ubuntu users, or Fedora users, or users from any distro. We want it to be used by Linux users, not just SUSE/openSUSE users. Please package it for Ubuntu and enjoy using it!

Looks like a fantastic tool! I have been meaning to try RTM, and I think this is the encouragement I needed. I'm going to give it a shot.

Whoa, you joined this forum, just to post that.

How did you know we were talking about it here?

I've been using it for a few weeks. I like it quite a bit and will be keeping an eye out for new versions.

^ How did you get it installed on Ubuntu,

here was a review of it by download Squad

and they said they couldn't get it to work on Ubuntu

I had to do some poking too, but you need to install both mono-gmcs and mono-tools-devel (at least, use sudo apt-get install mono-gmcs mono-tools-devel) before config, make, and make install. After that it works just fine. Or did for me.
