actually, what he meant was a standard across all Evolution clients no matter what platform/version.

But they even do not provide db3-3.1.7 as src.rpm (sorry, I do not > know about i386.rpm) for RH7.2 (which is shipped with 3.2.9). We do provide evo-db3 i386 packages for all platforms afaik. I'm not sure about src packages, but I wouldn't be surprised if we did. I think they are in the snapshot channel in red-carpet, but I could be wrong.

The reason that db3.1.17 gets statically linked with Evolution is so that your system can be using db3.2.9 or db2 or god knows what else and not cause problems.
