Hello all

Thanks for your emails.

I guess I, the main author, am responsible for the mess here :)

I have no Debian computer at the moment but checked on a Ubuntu. Yes, to
my surprise I guess, gnee* compiles and executes.

If users think gnee (the gui) is useful I don't object re-adding it.

I will switch to git (last project on the planet to do that?) and do
some work to make sure gnee compiles easily** and also remove deps to
dia***.

Thanks for all your hard work with Debian. You are very much appreciated
by very many.

/h

*) here's what I did:

make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure  --enable-gui
make
./gnee/src/gnee

**) basically make sure build/setup-debian.sh is up to date

**) might not be critical anymore but I'll do it anyhow

For the former, upstream told me privately I should drop gnee.

Bug#955472: xnee: Please build the GUI components

Package: xnee
Version: 3.19-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

xnee comes with two GUI components: gnee, a GUI version of cnee, and
pnee, a Gnome applet.

At least gnee seems to compile just fine on my buster system. However,
neither of these two are shipped as part of the Debian package.

Please fix that ;-)
