First, I'm not using Mandriva. I'm using Ubuntu. I have used Linux part-time for almost 6 years until a month ago, when I switched to using it full-time. I have installed and re-installed two versions of Ubuntu, and finally upgraded to 10.10 (maverick) all within a month.
I have been through two compiles and installs of remove-duplicates-0.0.4, found out when I upgraded to Lucid (10.04) that Evolution added remove-duplicates as an ePlugin, and have just found out that they disabled it. Is there a "How-to" somewhere that details (for the beginning user) how to apply a patch... like the patch attached to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587011 in the file https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=172408 . Which version of Evolution does the patch apply to, and is the code required still in current Evo source just not used? If the code was removed that is needed for the patch, what else do I have to download? Sidebar -- Okay... stupid question -- What is needed to decide that remove-duplicates was actually a useful function that was highly desired, and the next release of evolution will include the plugin again? Just asking... since someone write a patch to re-enable it. To this programmer (IOW me), the "patch" looks like a diff report (or a SuperC report from my mainframe days, or a Merge report from my MS-DOS & Windoze programming days). After my upgrade to maverick, Evolution is reporting Evolution 2.30.3... yet the IRC #evolution at irg.gnome.org channel is talking about Evolution 2.32.0... What original source do I need to "patch"? Where is it? Oh yeah... how do I patch the source once I download it? Ubuntu synaptic will give me access to none of the source module packages (at this moment), but it will give me access to the following packages -- evolution (2.30.3-1ubuntu7) installed evolution-common (2.30.3-1ubuntu7) installed evolution-couchdb (0.5.0-0ubuntu1) installed evolution-data-server (2.30.3-2ubuntu2) installed evolution-data-server-common (2.30.3-2ubuntu2) installed evolution-data-server-dbg (2.30.3-2ubuntu2) NOT installed evolution-data-server-dev (2.30.3-2ubuntu2) NOT installed evolution-dbg (2.30.3-1ubuntu7) NOT installed evolution-dev (2.30.3-1ubuntu7) installed evolution-exchange (2.30.3-0ubuntu2) installed evolution-exchange-dgb (2.30.3-0ubuntu2) NOT installed evolution-indicator (0.2.10-0ubuntu1) installed evolution-mapi (0.30.3-1ubuntu1) NOT installed evolution-mapi-dgb (0.30.3-1ubuntu1) NOT installed evolution-plugins (2.30.3-1ubuntu7) installed evolution-plugins-experimental (2.30.3-1ubuntu7) NOT installed evolution-rss (0.2.0-1) NOT installed evolution-webcal (2.28.1-1) installed Full list of other "evolution" packages installed... libebackend1.2-0 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libebook1.2-9 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libebook1.2-dev (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libecal1.2-7 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libedata-book1.2-2 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libedata-cal1.2-7 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libedataserver1.2-13 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libedataserver1.2-dev (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libedataserverui1.2-8 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libedataserverui1.2-dev (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libegroupwise1.2-13 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libevolution (2.30.3-1ubuntu7), libfolks-telepathy0 (0.1.17-0ubuntu2), libfolks0 (0.1.17-0ubuntu2), libgdata-google1.2-1 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libgdata1.2-1 (2.30.3-2ubuntu2), libpisock9 (0.12.5-2ubuntu1), libpisync1 (0.12.5-2ubuntu1), nautilus-sendto (2.32.0-0ubuntu1), openoffice.org-gnome (1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1), python-evolution (2.30.0-1ubuntu5), None of the packages appear to be source modules.
