I'm jhbuild'ing evolution now and will check out and build from EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH after everything builds correctly from trunk.What is the policy regarding committing patches to this branch?We commit every few lines on our disk to the branch :)
Does "we" include me? :)
My mail admins moved my mailbox from an exchange 2003 server to 2007 without telling me first. This caused a few days of downtime and quite a bit of frustration. I'd like to start using the "official" interface to the exchange server in order to minimize this type of problem in the future. How closely is the Evolution team working with the Exchange team?Part of the evolution team at Novell is doing this work. I don't think/know of any agreement for MAPI/Evolution related in that. We are using OpenChange based libmapi to connect to the Exchange Server and it works pretty well. I was looking for a pre-release this week but due to some issues and holidays in India I think this might be pushed a week or two later. In the whole I'm looking at a feature complete around GNOME 2.22 release. Unfortunately I'm not sure, if I can commit to the GNOME release or not, since this code has some licensing issues which I'm still working at Novell to clear them off.
If I can help with that, let me know. I'm biking distance from the Exchange team.
Only after that I can commit the code to the Evolution trunk.
Is this keeping you from committing to the EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH branch? It sounds like it's not. How often are changes from trunk integrated back to the MAPI branch?
Till then I'm hoping is to have weekly/biweekly opensuse buildservice packages for SUSE/Fedora/Debian (What ever OBS supports) for testing and help us back. If any one wants to help us in getting the OBS ready, your help is welcome.
Hmmm... What's OBS, and does it build RHEL3 packages, perchance?
