Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
Evolution 2.30 in Ubuntu Maverick is outdated. As Novell suggests Evolution 2.32 is the latest stable and, most important, Fedora 14 is using Evolution 2.32 You can check it here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=205101 We had the same situation with Ubuntu Lucid. At that time I was told that "Evolution 2.30" was buggy, but after 6 months, the same version, and same identical subrelease that we were talking about, suddenly became not buggy anymore and it was included in Maverick. My two cents: if Novell states "this is the last stable" there is no reason to use it after 6 months. Furthermore, we have evidence that this version is being used on another distribution. Another two cents gift: you've included btrfs in maverick, where the Volume Manager is in a NO-GO status, (not possibile to assign size to subvolumes, no patches for the kernel to use "df"... and so on), you've implemented LXC which is still in beta status (where a container is able to switch the machine off, because /proc is not isolated and you can run: echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger). In other words you've included software where their status, is stated from their developers and from the users, as BETA, but you're scared from a software that is being delivered as STABLE and which is a desktop software, really not dangerous for the whole system :) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: evolution 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.40-generic 2.6.35.7 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-23-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Nov 21 18:30:43 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=it_IT.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: evolution ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 maverick -- evolution 2.30 is an out of date version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
