[Bug 285520] Re: Evolution GSSAPI authentication does not work
Hi, I'd like to share my opinions about the way of treating this (there are other too) issue. 1. Sure the bug is upstream. the fact is, thet Gnome team did not treat this at all (status UNCONFIRMED as of 13.11.2008) even if the bug has been firstly submitted 28.09.2008 2. The severity of this concrete bug is high, makes an email client unusable in corporate environment with Kerberos infrastructure deployed. 3. As an end user (or as system adminitrator) i don't care where the bug is, "upstream" is just not enough of an excuse to ignore this in a stable Ubuntu release 4. As a result Intrepid Ibex 8.10 is not usable in corporate environment. This is a problem, as my understanding is the one of the main goals of Canonical is to penetrate more especially this market segment. This concrete bug has been reported when Ibex still in Beta stage. There were several ways to fix this and avoid releasing yet another "stable" release with known severe bugs. - find and updated/corrected version in gnome if available and backport to Intrepid repos - fix this by yourself (ubuntu team) and commit patch upstream (if they accept it) - downgrade the package evolution + dependencies in Intrepid all this can be done by system administrator himself, but surely you agree it's not a way to go when deploying widely in corporate environment.
