Subject: evolution: Please build with gnome-pilot support
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 15:39:23 +0100
Package: evolution
Version: 2.30.3-2david1
Severity: normal
evolution 2.30.1.2-2 removed gnome-pilot support, closing #580293. The
recommends was dropped in svn rev 1602, the actual building was disabled in rev
1477, and bundling relevant libraries in libevolution was disabled in rev 1480.
Pilots are still used by some and for us disabling gnome-pilot is a regression.
Please consider restoring support.
If keeping libhal dependencies out of evolution is key, perhaps consider
splitting the gnome-pilot depending parts ( /usr/lib/evolution-*/conduits ,
currently in libevolution and /usr/share/gnome-pilot/conduits currently in
evolution-common ) into a separate binary package and only having that depend
on libgnome-pilot2.
(as you can see I am currently running a evolution with gnome-pilot re-enabled)
Thanks for all your maintainance work,
David
