During the 2.6 development phase and the Win32 porting (spring 2005,
roughly), many functions were identified that were duplicated (!) in the
evolution-data-server, evolution and evolution-exchange modules
("module" in the CVS sense). They were kept in/moved to libedataserver,
simply because that seemed to be the best place as everything else
linked to it already anyway, and I didn't want to add yet another
library.
There used to be, even earlier, a module called gal ("GNOME Application
Library" I think) containing a library libgal, which got scrapped
(presumably because nothing except Evolution (and e-d-s) used it despite
its name) from which some of these functions had been copy-pasted. In
retrospect, perhaps scrapping libgal wasn't a good idea after all, maybe
it should just have been renamed, to libevolution-and-friends or
whatever?
Somebody please correct me if my memory serves me wrong...
