Hi Patrick; Because of toolchain changes, the current version of syncevolution no longer builds in debian unstable. Also, because the evolution libraries in unstable are now the 2.32 series, it seems that it doesn't work well, even if we tweek build flags to get it to build; similarly building syncevolution 1.1 against the new libsynthesis doesn't seem to yield a functional syncevolution.
So after going through a few permutations, I am left with the following options: 1) Let syncevolution be removed from testing (this is policy for packages that won't rebuild from source). This would mean that new installs of testing would have to get syncevolution from experimental if they wanted it. There is nothing permanent about removing syncevolution From testing at this stage in the release cycle; it will inconvenience a few users, but only (some of) those doing new installs of testing during the interval it is missing. Realistically this interval will probably be the time until you bless a release as stable, plus a few weeks. 2) Push the pre-release 1.1.99.3 into testing. I can fix the library version dependencies, but the other rough edges to the upgrade process would remain. And of course, it is a pre-release version. Do you have a preference for which option I choose? David
