Hi,
I see. Feel free to "announce" the module on the evolution-list, there
might be people willing to test it, I guess. The best if you provide a
pre-built code, of course, because not everybody is able to compile it
on its own (that's basically what you said, I agree with you).
Bye,
Milan

Hello Milan,

Thank you for the reply!

My intention was actually to maybe first gather some feedback from the more 
programming-inclined Evolution developer community, since the extension is 
still rather immature and it is unlikely that an average user would feel happy 
fiddling with something at such an early stage.

Again, thank you very much for pointing this out and I will definitely direct 
the discussion properly and refrain from hijacking the official mailing list!

Best regards,
Hu Jialun

Hi,
good job. I know people sometimes look for a similar plugin and claim
the alternatives do not work these days.

> ... or through the mailing list.

Ehm, do you mean this mailing list? I do not think anybody here is
going to fix bugs in any third-party software. It's a bad idea to
"hijack" mailing list used for the core Evolution projects development
(count in evolution-data-server, evolution, evolution-ews and
evolution-mapi), everything else is considered third-party and should
use its own bug tracker and other communication channels. Look on it as
with the evolution-on you mentioned. It's not tight to this mailing
list at all and it should not be.

You can subscribe to the evolution-list instead, which is meant for the
users, and check messages there, in case the users would claim any
problem with your plugin, but asking them to use either of these two
mailing lists is not a good idea. The first answer to their claims
would be: use bug tracker of your 3rd-party plugin, because it's not an
official plugin and it is not maintained by the upstream/Evolution
team.
Bye,
Milan

[Evolution-hackers] evolution-persist: background notification extension module for Evolution

2022-02-03 Thread Hu Jialun

Hello all,

I have just put together an Evolution extension to keep evolution 
running in

the background after all windows are closed, since evolution-on has been
unmaintained for years and is deprecated in various aspects.

The preliminary project can be found at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/SuibianP/evolution-persist and should be
straightforward to build and install.

It would be of great assistance to test it out and any feedback would be 
much
appreciated, either via the issue tracker (preferred) or through the 
mailing

list.

Best regards,
Hu Jialun
