Hello All,

I did some experimenting trying to get evolution-3.34.2 and
evolution-data-server-3.34.2 to install on BLFS 9.0.  In order to
install the updated sources to build I needed the following packages
in order to build evolution and evolution-data-server.

folks-0.13.1.tar.xz
gjs-1.58.3.tar.xz
gnome-bluetooth-3.34.0.tar.xz
gnome-shell-3.34.2.tar.xz
gnome-shell-extensions-3.34.2.tar.xz
mutter-3.34.1.tar.xz
mutter-3.34.1-upstream_fixes-1.patch

Sadly the resulting build does not load with .xinitrc containing 'exec
gnome-session'.  I get the gnome mouse pointer, but it appears that
mutter doesn't load.  (I can get gnome to load with the libraries and
packages from BLFS 9.0.)

My suggestion for those who want to try running gnome and want the
vulnerability fixed is to build all your gnome libraries and packages
from the svn version of BLFS.  NOTE:  I have not tried this myself
yet, so this may not work.  For my system am going to try to disable
evolution and evolution-data-server functionality first.  Then if that
fails, I will try using the gnome packages and libraries from BLFS
svn.

Take care all.

Chris
