[Evolution-hackers] Gnome-PIM and libversit
Hi! I plan to split libversit, which currently resides in the gnome-pim CVS module, into its own seperate module and make it into a shared library in the process (using libtool, of course). Currently, the libversit module in CVS is an alias to gnome-pim/libversit and libversit is built as static library. So, I want to coordinate the splitting with you, since Evolution uses libversit as well and I guess Evo's build process will break if I start to move libversit away and change the build process. One solution to prevent the breakage is not to call the new module libversit, but something different. (Only versit, maybe?) We could then remove the libversit sources from the gnome-pim module and the alias from CVS as soon as Evo's build process is changed to use the new module.

[Evolution-hackers] ORBit performance tweak
So, when remotely displaying from my sparc to a machine on the same lan
it takes 48 seconds to bring up the first window. This change to
genrand.c (rolling orbit2's genuid_simple in, and using that when
buf_len is 8 or more) drops it down to 18 seconds.
Displaying locally the time after the patch is 12 seconds from start to
first window, so there's probably still some room for improvement
elsewhere.
Doesn't appear to noticeably change freebsd's startup time (it was ~4-5
seconds before and after the change).

[Evolution] How to access IMAP folders not starting with INBOX?

Re: [Evolution] Compiling evolution CVS HEAD alongside packagedevolution stable-- mini-HOWTO
Solution:
Though it took a lot of work to figure this out initially, I did get
this to work, and it does beautifully. Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for
some help in debugging this.
That's '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
The basic idea is to leave everything that
is managed by a package manger (ie in /usr) alone, and put all of our
needed libraries and applications for evolution CVS HEAD in /opt/gnome
(or similar).
I think it's less work overall to just not install gal-dev, gtkhtml-dev,
or evolution from packages, and instead build evolution-1-0-branch in
one prefix (say, /opt/evolution-1-0) and HEAD in another
(/opt/evolution). That way you don't need to recompile all of gnome from
the ground up. You only need gal, gtkhtml, and evolution in each tree,
because both of them can use gtk, gnome-libs, etc, from /usr.
Do NOT run the evolution head (in /opt/gnome/bin) and the stable
evolution at the same time. I also recommend not running them as the
same user since evolution head may (will?) break your stable evolution
configuration. You must use the above export statements to run
evolution head as well.
There aren't currently any major config incompatibilities. I run them in
separate prefixes as described above and use these .bashrc functions to
switch between them:
function evo10() {
oaf-slay
rm ~/evolution/config/storage-set-view-expanded*
export GNOME_PATH=/opt/evolution-1-0
export PATH=${PATH/evolution/evolution-1-0}
}
function evohead() {
oaf-slay
export GNOME_PATH=/opt/evolution
export PATH=${PATH/evolution-1-0/evolution}
}
The oaf-slay is because you need oafd to be running with the correct
PATH and GNOME_PATH. The 'rm' in the evo10 command is to fix a problem
where otherwise the folder tree isn't visible when switching back to 1.0
after using HEAD.

Yes, I replied to myself with the correction. Oops!

I initially tried something like this, but it didn't work too well.
evo-1-0 would not start and evo-head was really unusable (I did the
oaf-slay stuff). I read in a gnome README somewhere that gnome doesn't
handle libraries being in different places too well, so I did it this
way. Really though, I didn't want to touch evo-1-0 because it has
become such an integral part of my work. Maybe I was TOO careful! Like
I said at the top though-- if you like your current environment, don't
bother with this.

This is interesting. I tried to run evo-head using my same
configuration (backing ~/evolution of course) and it brought me to the
evo setup screens. Then when I restored from backup and used evo-1-0,
it did the same thing (setup again). I assumed it changed something in
./.gnome somewhere, which I didn't backup. It wasn't horribly bad-- my
mail, contacts and all were still there, I just had to reenter my mail
accounts and lost some preferences. Should I have backed up more than
~/evolution?
Thanks for the feedback!

I set the reminder to kick off mail -s Security meeting in 10 minutes [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I want the reminder to shoot off an email to my pager to remind me of meetings, especially when I'm away from my desk. Evo just sits there and waits for me to say Okay, I really mean it, go ahead.

[Evolution] dynamic auto-fetch frequency?
Here's an idea. If people like it I'll put it into bugzilla. Motivation: My mail volume is irregular. When a mailing list dives into a busy thread, I can get a message a minute or more. Other times (like at 4AM) I get a message an hour. When traffic is high I find myself hitting send/recieve to see if there's new mail. Solution: Rather than having one frequency at which to check mail (eg: every 10 minutes), give evolution a lower and upper bound on mail-check frequency. Once evolution has downloaded mail, calculate the current message frequency: X messages per minute. Then check mail again in min(upper_bound,max(C*X, lower_bound)), where C is some constant. This would mean you'd predict to get C messages on the next check. The lower_bound would keep you from hammering your mail server and the upper bound would prevent it from going hours without checking. Disadvantage: It would make the dialog to control mail fetching frequency more complex. What do you think? Is this crazy or a decent idea? --Ben signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I was going to suggest this when I first found that Evolution did something that another application didn't do.

To paraphrase in the way I feel it, Since the software patent system is so messed up, we who want to secure software for use by many need to be more aggressive than everyone else, to secure those rights for many using whatever legal means we have at our disposal. I for one would love to see Open Source software patents, with licensing being free for other Open Source software, and costly (a free cross license grant to open source projects comes to mind) for non-Open Source software. rob ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
