PS: IOW assuming the coders of Evolution would "support" an outdated version of Evolution, it not necessarily would make it into a distro's repository. Let alone that bug fixes not necessarily could be applied by a patch to software such as Evolution. A bug fix might require a more recent version of a dependency. The crux of the matter is, that Evolution is closely linked with GNOME. Btw. take a look at https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Flatpak or since the OP is an Ubuntu user, see https://docs.snapcraft.io/build-snaps/ . I will not comment on flatpak and snappy. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
