Description Iain Lane 2009-10-14 13:28:43 UTC 
Greetings,

The current (and git) versions of evo# are incompatible with the current e-d-s. This is causing problems for distributors who have upgraded their e-d-s and are therefore unable to ship a working evo#.

Are there any plans to support current releases?

Regards,
Iain
Comment 1 Johnny Jacob 2009-10-23 06:36:08 UTC 
Yes, we should fix this.
Comment 2 Johannes Rohr 2009-11-12 08:33:36 UTC 
Sorry for nagging, but is there any likelihood that this will be fixed soon, so that it makes sense to wait or is it better to remove all packages which depend on evo# for the time being?
Comment 3 Rémi Letot 2009-11-30 12:43:34 UTC 
I don't like to push, but same question as above for planning purpose : is there a rough timeframe ?

Hmm. I fight since 2008 (bug 521720)  to remove the version checking. Previous 'incompatibles' were simply in configure.ac (if you build from source check if patch attached to that bug does not work).
Comment 6 Iain Lane 2010-03-21 10:03:19 UTC 
We (Debian) have just been removing evo# support from all apps. As it stands, Squeeze will not shop with evolution-sharp. We don't have the knowledge to do a compatibility check ourselves to be sure that there aren't any regressions.

It would be *great* if you could get that patch applied here.
Comment 7 Iain Lane 2010-04-29 10:26:31 UTC 
We're removing evo# from Debian and Ubuntu due to this bug. If it ever gets fixed then we can reintroduce.
Comment 8 André Klapper 2014-08-30 00:08:31 UTC 
evolution-sharp has not seen any code changes since May 2009:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/evolution-sharp/log/

This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived
in GNOME Git.
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone
takes the responsibility for active development again.
