Will tomboy be installed by default in intrepid?

Asked by Elias K Gardner

Updates to intrepid today uninstalled tomboy. Is this intentional and a permanent change for 8.10?

If so, I would be very interested to hear or be directed to the reasoning behind this. Tomboy is easily my most used application that comes with ubuntu. I think it is absolutely necessary for a default installation. I understand I can install it on my own, however, I never would have found it if it was not installed by default.

Tomboy is good for taking quick notes, to do list, lecture notes, and it has the ability to automatically link to other notes, web pages, and documents. Again I think this would be a big loss and a mistake.

I will file a bug if it becomes appropriate.

What do you think?

Ive noticed that mono 2.0 was released recently, could this have anything to do with tomboy's removal?

Also asked about this at ubuntuforums http://ubuntuforums.org/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=346

I just remembered that f-spot was also removed with the same update this makes me think it is very likely this is only a temporary situation.

F-spot and tomboy are still there on my computer 8.10 with all updates installed.

Likely you dont have the pre-released updates option checked in system->administration->software sourecs

Over at ubuntuforums ive become pretty confident that this is just a temporary thing as packages are updated in intrepid. As such im going to mark this as solved.

hmm
another option suggested over at ubuntuforums was that amd64 debs take longer to get into the repos. I don't know much about how this works but my understanding is they start of making everything for i386 and amd64 packages come along sometime later.
