Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

uploaded to -proposed:
evolution (2.30.3-1ubuntu7) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/92_git_fix_proxy_ignore_hosts.patch:
    - backport from upstream, change the migration to 2.30 for people
      using /apps/evolution/shell/network_config/ignore_hosts (LP: #659153)
  * debian/patches/92_git_only_hide_signature_on_express.patch:
    - show signature if you have one account and aren't in express mode
      (LP: #649609)

Test case:
1. check that you were in a proxy configuration and that you get the error 2.30.3-1ubuntu6
2. install from -proposed the new version
3. restart evolution and check that you don't have anymore this error dialog at start.

--------------

When I start evolution I get a dialog saying:

    GConf error: Type mismatch: Expected `string' got `list' for key /apps/evolution/shell/network_config/ignore_hosts

You need to apply the upstream commit aa61df9 for this bug.

I really have to wonder why evolution's 2.32 release was not used for Maverick which is a gnome 2.32 release.

Now that evolution has released 2.32 they are no longer landing bug fixes to their gnome-2-32 branch, so the responsibility of watching their gnome-2-32 branch for bug fixes and backporting them to your 2.30 based release is going to land in your lap. I hope you take this responsibility seriously and don't just ignore your out-of-date evolution release.

We will take those patches and update to an SRU. The decision of taking evo 2.30 or 2.32 for maverick was because of GTK3 and GNOME3 choice. As the fact to not release GNOME3 this cycle was taken really late in GNOME cycle, we didn't have the time to update evolution to latest version.

of course, you are welcome to come and contribute on #ubunntu-desktop to help maintaining evolution.
