Thanks for the information. Ubuntu 10.04 for desktops will reach its end
of life (= no more security updates) this month. 10.04 for servers will
be supported longer, but I guess I'll make the jump to a newer baseline
for SyncEvolution 1.4.

I'll make sure that the source still compiles on older distros. That's
necessary for the Nokia Internet Tablets and the N9.

I'm sure it'll take a few more months before 1.4 is ready. I don't have
a firm timeline yet, though.

The syncevolution-bundle can be installed without also having to install
Evolution libs or KDE. The backends for these PIM storages will just not
be usable without them. syncevolution-evolution and syncevolution-kde
are meta packages with additional dependencies on the Evolution resp.
KDE/Akonadi libraries, so when installing those, one can be sure to have
a usable system.
