This is a heads up that I'm going to attempt to finally merge the
"kill-bonobo" branch this coming weekend (August 29/30).
For those who haven't heard me yammering on about this for the past
year, the "kill-bonobo" branch is a major rewrite of Evolution's core
architecture with the primary goal of finally dropping our libbonobo and
libbonoboui dependencies. This, combined with Ross Burton's porting of
Evolution-Data-Server from Bonobo to D-Bus, should completely eradicate
Bonobo from the Evolution stack by version 2.30.
Merging this branch is going to break a lot of things for the next few
weeks. That's why we branched early; to have some extra time to pick up
the pieces. The Calendar is not 100% finished, Evolution-Exchange is
not compatible with this branch, and most third party extensions will
require significant adaptation.
The take-away here is
IF YOU REQUIRE WORKING BUILDS, USE THE GNOME-2-28 BRANCH.
The sausage making is particularly messy right now, so unless you're
involved in it I'd advise you to steer clear of the "master" branch
until further notice.
Thanks,
Matthew Barnes
