I don’t know much about GNOME plumbing, but I’m guessing that
evolution-data-server can be started on demand via D-Bus, no?

If that is the case, dbus-daemon needs to have the description file of
evolution-data-server so that it can actually start it on the user’s
behalf.

In GuixSD, this is handled by having the server (evolution-data-server
here) extend ‘dbus-root-service-type’; see ‘geoclue-service-type’ for an
example.

I hope this helps; if not, I hope someone more knowledgeable can chime
in.  :-)

[WIP PATCH] gnu: Add evolution.

[rennes]

Hello,

this patch is evolution, a mail client for the GNOME desktop.

To run evolution is necessary to install evolution-data-server in user
profile; then I think that is required to start evolution-data-server
as a service to run successfully evolution without install evolution-
data-server in user profile.

Can some one help me, to clarify?.

any of these services requires evolution (evolution-source-registry):
