Re: Next version of XD for SuSE 9.1?

Source will certainly be available, and third parties and OS vendors are
certainly welcome to package it themselves.  Now that Connector is Free,
that's every bit as available on other platforms.  I expect to see
Evolution 2.0 on a wide range of platforms.  That's not to say we'll be
packaging it for those platforms, though.

I'm not sure which platforms other than SUSE will be target platforms
for our binaries.  I'm not sure such a decision has been made.

Note: how "we" or "our" translates to Ximian vs. Novell vs. SUSE is a
bit ambiguous.
