  1.1 Project Detail

      This project proposes to remove evolution-jescs in Solaris.

      The evolution-jescs module is the Sun Calendar backend for the
      Evolution mail client. It provides Evolution with the ability
      to connect with the Sun Calender server.

      Since 2.29.x, the Evolution community has begun to remove the Bonobo
      dependency and has changed the architecture. Since evolution-jescs has a
      strong dependency on Bonobo and the old architecture, it won't work
      moving forward. For these reasons, it will be deprecated.

      The following reasons explain why the removal of evolution-jescs will
      have little impact to the end-user.

      1) The Lightning Thunderbird plugin (LSARC/2007/043) supports the Sun
         Calendar server already and Thunderbird is the default mailer for
         Solaris.

      2) The new Sun Calendar server (v7) released in 2009 uses a new protocol
         called CalDAV and the support for the old protocol will be limited to
         and tailored for the Convergence client and Outlook connector support.

      3) Both Lightning and Evolution support CalDAV, so both of them can
         support the new calendar server.

      4) After the removal of evolution-jescs, users who want to continue to
         use the old Sun Calendar Server need only to setup a new Sun Calendar
         server account in thundbird to migrate from Evolution to Thunderbird
         which is fairly simple.
     
  1.2 Packaging and Release Binding

      SUNWevolution-jescs will be removed in a minor release binding.

  1.4 Dependency

      The removal of this project is dependent upon the integration
      of Lightning (LSARC/2007/043) which has been already integrated into
      Solaris.
