Isn't that -1.2 is the API version? > Applications that link to E-D-S would have to be recompiled obviously, > but as long as they're using pkgconfig correctly they should not require > any code changes (I think). > I don't think those application would be happy to do this. There are a few apps that use the .so directly without pkgconfig (iirc OpenOffice.org). Unless there is a clear nod from the stake holders of those projects, I wouldn't be favor of doing this. The old version of apps break with new Evolution/EDS. Lot of those apps don't have a 6 month and takes a lot to ship a update for the old version to cope up with new EDS. -Srini. _______________________________________________ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
