Most Evolution people already know this. This is just the E-mail you guys have been asking about (well, actually most of you guys asked me to make a bug in bugzilla).
The one laptop per child project, Nokia (maemo) and maybe sooner or later other vendors like PalmSource are getting more and more interested in tinymail. Situation: ---------- Tinymail depends on Camel. Camel gets shipped with e-d-s. Tinymail doesn't use *any* of the other e-d-s softwares, libraries nor its data. Observation: ------------ >From reading code I *know* camel doesn't have to depend on e-d-s at all. It can very easily be cut-off from it. I could probably do this in a few hours work. The full e-d-s requires 23Mb disk space. Only Camel requires ~ 1MB disk space. Conclusion: ----------- So or camel is going to be split from evolution-data-server, or I will fork camel.

Packaging tricks are hacks. I don't do hacks. Hacks are ugly. Hacks are win32. I didn't come to the opensource community to get myself stuck in hacks. I strongly disagree with hacks. I don't support hacks. I will not use hacks. I will fork if I'm forced to use hacks. -- Philip Van Hoof, software developer at x-tend home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org work: vanhoof at x-tend dot be http://www.pvanhoof.be - http://www.x-tend.be _______________________________________________ Evolution-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
