Sorry, this is a bit of a troll but... If you were using OpenSUSE, you could just search the build service and then "one-click install" the latest version which would automatically add the repository and install the package. http://software.opensuse.org/search The point being, if you really need to use packages before they are pushed into the official distribution, OpenSUSE has very easy mechanism for that (one-click). Ironically though, 2.29 is not yet a package on the system so I guess my advocacy is self-defeating. :| Should be available in a few days though. -- John Lange http://www.johnlange.ca _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
