This would certainly help distributions which want to stay with Evolution 2.32 for a while.. My only concern here is, while cherry-picking patches how would we take care of the translations and documentation ? Are we adhering to the freezes in the gnome-2-32 branch (am not calling this a latest stable branch) ?
If the documentation and translations are taken care of, should the freezes matter ? - Chenthill. > > That's my opinion. > Bye, > Milan > > P.S.: as of today (or tomorrow, if you wish), the official stable > release is 3.0.0. > > _______________________________________________ > 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
