Re: [Evolution-hackers] Evolution: Taking forward...
After getting explicitly asked for this: Permission granted for any pieces of code I've produced. andre klapper Am Freitag, den 11.07.2008, 04:21 -0600 schrieb Srinivasa Ragavan: We have had a set of problems that we are carrying around for some time like : * Copyright assignments, which is not the best way looking for the future of Evolution. It sucks and sort of limits contributions to Evolution and we wanted to drop it. * The current licensing incompatibility issues of Evolution with Samba4/libmapi (GPLv3). Evolution needs to link with libmapi/samba4 for the new mapi based connector being developed for Exchange 2007. So here is the plan : * Drop Evolution copyright assignments and make it really easy to contribute to Evolution * Move Evolution licensing to LGPL v2 and LGPL v3 to let us re-use the code more easily around the platform. This also moves us closer to Thunderbird's MPL/LGPL model. We think this is good for Evolution and (of course) we continue to invest in Evolution. We are also working to ensure we have the rights to re-license all of the code. We will do the licensing/header changes as we audit the code ownership situation. It would be really helpful if you can post a public/explicit mail with permissions to do it, or code pointers - if you think you wrote a piece of Evolution code object. We are really excited about this and we feel this would really help Evolution a lot. We need your support now for making this change and to take Evolution to great heights. Thanks for your contributions and support. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | failed http://www.iomc.de/ | http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

This has been open since 2.12 and still applies to the latest stable version. I'm affected myself, so I can help debug this if necessary. Thanks! [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499932 Hi, I updated the bug with this text: I believe this has been fixed within bug #514827 and is included in development version. Thanks for pointing this out. I had tried searching for POP in Bugzilla, but didn't find the duplicates, apparently because the bug tracker had trouble with too short words. Can someone check, please? I compiled the trunk and tested it - it works. Thanks! Is this something for the distributors to back-port to 2.22.x? Note that Evolution trunk no longer compiles on Ubuntu 7.10/8.04 because there only sqlite 3.4.2 is available whereas = 3.5 is required. Only Ubuntu experimental has it. On the bright side, at least the experimental version installs on 7.10 without pulling in other stuff - still, this is not a recommended workaround, I'm just too lazy to also compile libsqlite. Is the very latest libsqlite really required? It limits the number of users who might try out the latest beta and 2.24 when it comes out. -- Bye, Patrick Ohly -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.estamos.de/ ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
