Hi, does this mean that one would be able to keep .evolution folder as is, with some XDG foo? You know, sometimes is useful to run 2.30.x while developing 2.31.x on the same machine, where your change makes it impossible. But if it's possible, do you know the XDG foo to achieve it?

A few more cases to test and I think I may commit this over the weekend. I decided to defer this until at least Tuesday, so that those developers who aren't weekend workaholics like me still have some advance warning when they fire up their email on Monday morning. The base directory transition is now in master. Once again, please be mindful not to mix versions of Evolution and the addressbook and calendar factory daemons. The migration should be nearly instantaneous. It's just a series of directory renames and a few config file renames. Each of the three binaries will print equivalent UNIX shell commands (mv and rmdir) to the terminal along with any errors encountered to help track migration progress. This output is valuable for debugging migration issues. Please let me know immediately if you encounter any regressions. If there -are- regressions I expect they will be caused by Evolution not finding some data, either because the data failed to migrate or because Evolution is still looking for migrated data in its old home. In either case the data should still be present on your hard disk. ___ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
