While thinking about this, I just got a thought of why not a, evolution-collab-backends package which can hold all the eds collborative backends (that provides mail+calendar+address-book) such as mapi, exchange, groupwise with sufficient configuration options to choose what to compile ? This would help in making the api changes to all backends and keep external backends connected.
I support maintaining the backend code in a separate package though. Its easier to provide updates to the backends if its not part of eds at-least with some distros (at-least with suse as I use it). - Chenthill. > > The process for obtaining a gnome.org account is here: > > http://live.gnome.org/NewAccounts > > Each of your developers should apply for their own account, but I would > suggest waiting to do this until after you have a working public beta, > as you'll have more credibility to the gnome.org admins then (which is > not us!). > > Once you have your gnome.org accounts, you can clone your git repository > on git.gnome.org by following the procedure here: > > http://live.gnome.org/Git/NewRepository > > Hope this helps. > > > _______________________________________________ > evolution-hackers mailing list > [email protected] > To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
