 The Help-About on my Evolution mail menu still reads 'Evolution 2.32.1'

 I'm presently test-running Gnome-shell (jhbuild) but I'm running Fedora
 14. I might be able to chip in one or two after experiencing status-quo.
 I suspect that would be helpful.

 If you're already using jhbuild and it's still building 2.32 apps, make
 sure you're using the GNOME 3 module sets listed here:

 http://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild/tree/modulesets

 I don't use jhbuild myself or I'd tell you more about how to set that
 up, but I'm sure Google can answer that.


 Here's another, perhaps more convenient option:

 Fedora desktop team just conducted a GNOME 3 test day and the live image
 they produced for it includes GNOME Shell and Evolution 2.91.6:

 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-03_GNOME3_Alpha#Live_image

 If you have a spare USB stick or blank DVD, make yourself a live image,
 boot it, and you can play around in GNOME 3 with no risk to your system.

Or you can also use GNOME3 live image : http://gnome3.org/tryit.html :)

 BLUNDER 101:
 

 I know this might upset the geeks but I screwed up big time.  The
 Gnome-3 ISO wasn't cooperating when burnt so I decided to use the USB
 option (was giving me similar errors as with the fedora test ISOs).  So
 what is the big blunder, you may ask?

 Everything was going fine until the usb-image-writer stopped at 100% for
 a few minutes.  It appeared to have hanged so  I quit the terminal
 and pulled the drive.  I now have a stick with CD-ROM partition having
 incomplete data and I don't know how to revert to the beginning. Hope
 someone here can give me an idea how to remove the CD-ROM partition so I
 can exercise 'patience' in full and get the desired results

This depends on kernel buffering and usb stick write speed.

You shouldn't have removed the key.

Just re-run the tool and really wait until it is complete and
everything will be fine.

If you want to reset it for another use, run dd if=/dev/zero
of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=10 (where X is the letter corresponding to the
stick,
you can check with the tool) and you should be able to repartition it
(after unplugging and replugging it).

  Frankly, I think it would be much better to do a 2.22.x release for the

  distributions might be more willing to push it, rather than try to apply
  a list of patches.
 
 I think this should be discussed at d-d-l/release-team than lowering it
 to Evolution/any-other-project. We currently follow GNOME cycle, as you
 know. Unless we hit to a serious issue, you will be always be the
 waiting for a release, where as developers would waiting for a more
 better time to do it. 

I was just talking for this particular list of bugs, not in general.

Eog or gthumb have been doing additional releases after the .3 release
for quite some time.

You could also delegate the release process to other people who would be
willing to take care of it.

 Frederic, I dont think we can take it as a enforced dependency right
 away as libmapi depends on Samba4 which is just in aplha1 now. It might
 take a while before Samba4 releases and we take that and libmapi as
 external dependencies. 
 
 Im not sure if we can make/ask those alpha versions as external
 dependencies.
 
 Anyways thanks for the information and the trigger :)

Well, even if it is a optional external dependencies, it should be
announced, moreover because of the samba 4 implied dependency and the
GPLv3 compatibility issue it brings.

There is never too much information to announce ;)

 Since EDS is LGPLv2, it may not have much issues. IIRC when Harish moved

From what I see in SVN, EDS is still LGPLv2 only, not v2 or later.

But I don't know what it would mean if E-D-S was linked with GPLv3
library (ie Samba 4), for other programs linking to E-D-S library, with
an non GPLv3 compatible license (like explained on

 No license header:

[Evolution-hackers] Request for improved svn commit messages

2007-10-05 Thread Frederic Crozat
Hi everyone,

I'd like to suggest to Evolution hackers, whenever it is possible for
them, to try to improve their svn commit messages.

Some of you are currently using a very short commit message
(something like fix for bug#xxx), which make reading svn commit
extremely difficult without having to go each time on bugzilla to see
what was the fix really for. Moreover, it also adds complexity when you
are checking a file history and bump into such commits.

May I suggest you use either the same ChangeLog entry you wrote in the
various changelog file (so it is even faster, just use copy/paste :) or
even a stripped version of it (it used to be extremely useful for CVS to
see which files were changed at the same time, but it is no longer
required with svn atomic commit) ?

Thanks you in advance.

 Oh, I remember a thread on d-d-l where there was discussion on two
 ChangeLogs (one part of tree and other part of svn logs). Btw, I'm one
 of those who use those short logs for svn commits and I know a few
 people who copy ChangeLogs to svn commit logs.
 
 In anycase, I really dont know/see what is the benefit of this over the
 short messages. Many times with patches and review being on bugzilla,
 atleast I find easy to see what broke where with just the bug number
 part of commit logs over viewcvs.

First, consistency : evolution/e-d-s are almost the only modules on
GNOME using micro message for SVN commit. And it isn't even consistent
across evolution maintainers ;)

Second, being self-contained (and therefore, ease of use for external
maintainers / lurkers / packagers / release-team). You are only thinking
of svn log when using viewcvs. But if you are, just like me, subscribed
to svn-commit mailing list, it is really much easier to see directly
what it a commit purpose (fix a typo, a bug, etc) without having to rely
on another tool / website. Same apply when using svn log command
directly.

It is the same reason why we ask people, when requesting freeze break,
to attach patch to mail and not just a link to bugzilla :)

(Just to be clear, this suggestion is not done with my release-team
hat :)

 Right. IIRC the New button too had some similar issues, but that was
 resolved in 2.8.x.

Not entirely : EComboButton still need to be treated differently for
themes with rounded edges for buttons (like Ia Ora or Galaxy) otherwise
the separations between both part of the button looks strange..

 Frederic,
 
 One reason why me and Harish didn't want to tag is that we are able to
 map the svn revision number to a particular release. I hope isn't so
 difficult to get that from the ChangeLog/configure.in/NEWS commit logs.
 At least that is how we do while preparing NEWS file for a dot release
 to know what went in since the last release.
 
 If you have better points, We are open for it. Nothing against it :)

I don't really see what it causing problem here : just tags the release
corresponding to the commit for configure.in / NEWS / Changelog. It
isn't really a big problem if there is another commit for the tag
operation in SVN.

Or am I missing something ?

 I didn't say it a problem. I'm saying that the TAG would map directly to
 a revision in svn which would be the revision of the commit of those
 files. You can achieve what you want with tag with just revision number
 itself. In case of CVS, you can't do this. If it is of difficulty to map
 to a revision, no problem in resuming that again. 

So, I've just discussed with sri over IRC :
-we agreed tagging is less needed now we have SVN than years ago, in the
CVS days.
-nevertheless, since other GNOME modules are following the tagging
convention and since it can be often more convenient to rely on tags
when doing diff than digging into svn log, sri agreed to start back
tagging evolution tree when doing releases.
-in short, we are in agreement ;)

Thanks again to Evolution team !

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Why is GnomePrintContext still in GtkHtml?

 Hi Frederic,
 
 We did update the GtkHTML versions under the assumptions of API
 extensions in 3.13.90. In 3.13.91 we have broken API/ABI and removed the
 obsolete APIs but we havent bumped the versions accordingly. We will be
 doing that in RC Monday. 
 
 Thanks for pointing it out to us :)

Thanks. Please add a big warning in the release announcement, since it
breaks some applications like gnucash (which wasn't been ported to
gtk-print).

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Reorganize Evolution's preferences dialog

 Hi Matthew
 
 I think it is a pretty good idea :-). The two main reason are
 
 - Width is controlled by the number of tabs in Mail Preferences
 - Height is controlled by the General tab in Mail Preferences

Another issue is l10n.

I still haven't found time to fill proper bug reports but some l10n are
expanding preferences dialogs a lot, and moreover, initial dialog
placement is done before all tabs size are know, causing the correctly
sized dialog to not be centered.

  And I question ... do all applications that want to use calendaring (and
  only calendaring) have to depend on most of the Evolution components?
 
  Right now, if you translate that to Camel and E-mailing, it depends on
  which distribution you have. On most Redhat based ones: yes. On Debian
  based ones: no. Is there clarity? no. Is it making it more easy to
  develop a pure E-mail application and to document which dependencies
  you have (maybe even letting packagers share the same dependencies): no.
  
  The list of reasons (all valid ones, it's not because *you* mark them as
  rant that it also *is* rant) goes on and on and on.
 
 So you've found a problem with the Red Hat packaging, in that it treats
 all of EDS a single library.  File a bug with Red Hat, and notice that
 Debian, Maemo, and OpenEmbedded (at least) already have split EDS
 packages.

Mandriva too ;)

 Hi,
 
 We are entering hard code freeze on March 6th. To prepare for that, let
 us make sure that *all* the patches with no exceptions should be mailed
 to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. It should be committed only
 after a *review* by the respective maintainers.

And after approval from release-team ;)

Please, get approval from evolution maintainers FIRST and when it is ok,
ask for release-team approval.

Thanks you.
