Last year I expressed concern over the fact that Ubuntu was leaving behind Evolution in Lucid (that is, shipping Gnome 2.30 but leaving Evolution alone back at 2.28). The explanation at that time was that the change from Evo 2.28 to 2.30 involved a lot of significant rework (which it did) and that the LTS release was not a place to experiment with that sort of change.
OK, fine. I was definitely perplexed, then, to see that in Maverick, which is not by anyone's standards a long-term support release and is running Gnome 2.32, Evolution was left at version 2.30! And now I've heard (not officially) that Natty, which (as I understand it) will contain Gnome 3 as the base version, will ship with Evolution 2.32!! It's one thing to leave behind this package due to the confluence of LTS and a major amount of rewriting, but what is the justification for continuing to ship obsoleted versions of Evolution with every release of Ubuntu? Is this some sort of new policy decision, that Evolution will forever be left back in every release? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
