** Description changed:

  We should update the Evolution stack to 3.24 for Ubuntu 17.10. The big
  change here is that it now uses cmake instead of autotools.
  
  The update is staged in this PPA and rebuilds of all rdepends have been done:
  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ubuntu/transitions/+packages
  
  I made a few packaging changes we should review with Debian. e-d-s is
  looking good now, here's some Evolution remaining questions/issues:
  
  1. I dropped
  https://sources.debian.net/src/evolution/unstable/debian/patches
  /10_revert_libevolution_avoid-version.patch/ since it does not directly
  apply to cmake and it doesn't seem needed. The soname hasn't been bumped
  in 5 years. I had to have libevolution Breaks/Replaces evolution-dev
  since there are no .so symlinks any more.
  
  2. I disabled
  
https://sources.debian.net/src/evolution/unstable/debian/patches/02_nss_paths.patch/
  since it didn't seem to be needed.
  
- 3. Maybe related to #1 is that evolution now no longer has an automatic
- dependency on libevolution.

- 4. Also lintian is complaining about rpaths. The rpath fix I used with
- e-d-s did not work for Evolution.
