The truth is, with more than 7 years of development behind it, it's one of the best mailers around. +1 You've done a fantastic job with Evolution :) Jeff ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Memory consumption and virtual machines
I have to wonder if it's even worth ever merging the mmap hack into Evolution at all. If the plan is to finish Zucchi's disk-summary branch, which also solves the memory problems (afaik) as well as: 1. introducing an API for using cursors to get at message infos 2. better designed on-disk format that uses B-Trees the problem with philip's mmap file format is that the strings that will be hit for sorting/viewing/etc are all spread out over a huge number of pages. I just see this being re-examined later to try and design the format to better optimise it by compacting all the strings into a strtab type thing. I also don't like how it has to reload the summary anytime new messages arrive. I just don't get the feeling this is really all that well thought out and it scares me. I'd just hate to see a rush job come out of this Jeff On Tue, 2006-07-18 at 13:26 -0500, Federico Mena Quintero wrote: On Tue, 2006-07-18 at 18:29 +0200, Philip Van Hoof wrote: I'm waiting for the decision (yours) of making this optional using a compilation flag or at run-time.

Branch evolution-data-server into HEAD (development, with Philip's patch), and the stable branch (without the patch). 2. Make the patch *mandatory* in HEAD, so that it gets a good amount of testing. 3. ??? 4. Profit!!! I'd suggest that (3) become write a good stress-test suite for Camel, independent of Evolution. We need that anyway. Novell already has a bunch of LDTP stuff to test the Evo mailer from the user's viewpooint - run those tests on the patched version to see how well they work.

Re: String freeze break in gnome-volume-manager
Would another accepted solution be to fix all the msgid strings in the po files to reflect the change made? e.g. s/_Ignore/Ig_nore/ ?
