I'm going through a similar exercise ... but on opensuse 10.3. I see that opensuse have a applied quite a few patches on top of the evolution 2.12 source. Also, I've noticed some recent opensuse updates in some of the pre-requisists ( such as libsoup ). Net result seems to be that its pretty stable for me. Suggest its worth checking if there are similar patches applied to the Ubuntu packages. [ in fact there were a couple of fixes which I wanted and arn't in the opensuse patch list, so I've taken the source rpm and added these in myself :-) ] Pete _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
