Yet the Ubuntu Repos only provide 2.32.2. Is there a PPA or some other repo which I should add to something (instructions would be nice) so that I can install a more recent version of evo into Ubuntu? Just a note - the Evo site (http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/?info=EXLINK , or more specifically http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/download.shtml ) mentions 3.0.2 as the latest stable version, but has no link or document guiding the less-experienced user with very little successful experience compiling on Linux through the process. Maybe just a note on this page that "the enclosed README file explains how to compile the application". Next idle question -- if I download the evolution 3.0.2 download from the download page above, Linux Apps are built upon package dependencies... so how do I tell RPM that I have no friggin clue what the dependencies are, and it needs to "go get 'em"... like APT and synaptic does? > Correct; Ubuntu chooses to use hacked and backward versions of packages. > That is nobody's problem except Ubuntu's. No one else it to blame. Okay... as mentioned above... how to I tell synaptic and "Update Manager" ... in Ubuntu... to find the latest stable release of Evo... along with any dependencies?
