Ximian dropping Debian ?

I need this product at my work place in order to interface with the corporate e-mail/calendar server M$ Outlook Exchange. I also had need Evolution 1.4 in order to use the companion Connector product. Both of these products are available for download from Ximian, but not in Debian packages. This sales person stated something to the effect that starting with v1.4, Ximian would no longer support Debian. Further, their products would no longer run on Debian systems no matter how I hacked them with alien, etc. He also tried to explain this new policy as something to do with corporate America, etc. Can anyone confirm this ? This makes no sense to me. First, why would Ximian cut off Debian ? Debian is a strong supporter of gnome which Ximian depends on. Second, how could the product not work anyway provided all the supporting Linux libraries were also loaded ? Do they have some type of check to see if I am running RedHat before Connector will run ?

There was something on /. about this. One of Ximian's teenexecutives stated that stable was too old and something to the effect that sid was too new. Go check it out. I liked Redhat soley because of Ximian's RedCarpet support. Debian still beats it hands down with apt-get...imo. On Sat, 2003-06-07 at 13:52, James D.

Re: Ximian dropping Debian ?
Hi! They are rigth. Woody is to old. Anyway, a group of spanish developers are waiting until next monday when sources will be available to start ti package XD2 for Woody, so unoficially it's going to be a Woody release. But i'm afraid that Connector is propietary so we can not do any interesting thing with that. Everybody is invited to help. Please contact me if you are interested.
