I'm totally with Andre on this. The users of Linux come in all "shapes and sizes" and, of course, ability. With absolutely no disrespect for OP, if they were someone who was the compiling type, then I suspect they would have searched the net for the answer and they wouldn't be running an LTS distro. Yes, that's a generalisation, but it is perfectly fine for the vast majority of Linux users to be in that category. And yes, it is, of course, important to teach people new skills - but in this case, just telling someone to compile from source without any further explanation is, at best, dangerous. The whole point of an LTS distro is stability and as soon as you get away from the distro provided packages, that stability is compromised. What about updates - don't forget that as soon as you get away from a managed repository, you then have to take on updating that package. And are you going to take responsibility for trashing a user's system? This is not a theoretical question - I have been accused on this list of loosing someone's email because I tried to help them - the fact that they didn't follow my instructions didn't matter, it was still my fault. Besides, I'm sure there will be a PPA out there with the correct package in it - unfortunately a quick Goggle for it only comes up with how to install Evo 3.13.x, not one of which mentions that the 3.13 versions are non-stable development versions. Such is the joy of Ubuntu. You also have to remember this is an Evolution users list - it is distro agnostic. I not sure it is really appropriate to have a discussion on how to build a package for a specific distro here. Certainly point users to the source of the information, but please no detailed distro specific discussion.
