FYI, the latest Evo RPMs on Fedora 6 (stable) are for 2.8.3. If you go for the development version (essentially a beta of Fedora 7) you have to update a large number of Gnome packages, which in turn triggers updates to stuff that has nothing to do with Evo. Personally, I just recompile from the tarballs (it's not hard if you follow the README) and run Evo 2.10 quite happily on my Fedora 6 KDE desktop. I don't use Garnome or jbuild precisely because they enthusiastically recompile over 30 other packages which I don't care about. However I do appreciate the point you raise about supporting a large set of users; I certainly wouldn't want to do this in that case. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
