I've not received any feedback on this; if no-one objects, I'll go ahead and bump the requirement of SyncEvolution to glib >= 3.32. At the same time I will drop support for libdbus as alternative for glib gio D-Bus. This will make the code simpler and allow me to use more secure D-Bus IPC (use pipes instead of the less reliable and secure listening socket that is used at the moment). Ove, I suspect that this will prevent building SyncEvolution 1.4 for older Maemo. Do you know which devices have which glib version? Would you and/or users care? -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.syncevolution.org/mailman/listinfo/syncevolution
