I've read that Ximian has dropped Debian support, so this might be a
permanent problem, dunno.

I have it working, but at the moment it is a bit difficult.  The idea
is that you can add 
deb http://red-carpet.ximian.com/debian woody main
to your sources.list and then you can install red-carpet.  red-carpet
looks at the /etc/issue file to figure out which distro you have.  I
changed my issue to be:

Debian GNU/\s 3.0 \n \l

so it thought I was still running stable.  With red-carpet you can
then download all the rest (evolution, connector, etc.)

However at the moment red-carpet doesn't seem to work.  Also the
sources line above doesn't seem to work either.  The line:
deb http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/ximian/debian woody main
but that doesn't get you the connector.  

Fortunately red-carpet has an on-disk cache so I still have the debian
packages. (or I'd be in trouble).

ximiam connector

[Thomas E. Vaughan]

Is there anyone else out there trying to run Connector on
Debian (sid)?

Although Ximian strongly discourages a direct download of
Connector (because Ximian urges the use of Red Carpet), the
binaries are available at
http://www.ximian.com/products/connector/download/connector.html.

Unfortunately, of course, there is no Debian package at the
download site.  I purchased last October a license for
Connector because, at the time, Debian support was
supposedly forthcoming.  Although I never have used it, the
license that I purchased should still work if only I can
figure out how to make one of the RPMs from the Connector
download page install properly onto my Debian sid system.

I've tried alien on a couple of the packages, but so far, no
good.

It would be very cool to make this work.
