needs update to 2.24

[Brian J. Murrell]

Binary package hint: evolution-jescs

As can be seen here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/evolution-jescs/2.24/ evolution-jescs needs an update to a) get the latest version and b) be compatible with current Intrepid which has evolution 2.24 in it.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

A rebuild should be enough for this.
We can also try to update it to the latest version but we are in Feature Freeze. There are a couple of changes which we need to assess (see attached Changelog diff) therefore I would like to know from you what are the results of testing the package in https://launchpad.net/~norsetto/+archive?

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

ISTM, that to feature freeze "brokenness" is worse than to make an exception to at least try to fix something.

In any case, here's the results of your package:

$ sudo dpkg -i evolution-jescs_2.24.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb dpkg: regarding evolution-jescs_2.24.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb containing evolution-jescs:
 evolution-jescs conflicts with evolution (>= 2.23.0)
  evolution (version 2.24.0-0ubuntu1) is present and installed.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Yes, there was a conflict which needed to be updated (thanks for the changelog not reporting this). I already uploaded a package which fixes this but the ppa takes time before the old one is deleted and replaced by this. If you don't want to wait for that, you can force the installation of the one you already downloaded with --force-conflicts.

Please report here any result, thanks.

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

Hrm. The control file from the i386 binary has the following in it:

Conflicts: evolution (>= 2.23.0), evolution (<< 2.22.0)

Yet the diff has:

+Conflicts: evolution (<< 2.24.0),
+ evolution (>= 2.25.0)

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

I see we are crossing messages on the wire. Will the new package have an updated version? 0ubuntu2 or 0ubuntu1.1 maybe?

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

Yes, this new evolution-jescs seems to read the Java calendar fine but i get an "Unknown error" trying to create a new appointment.

Unfortunately there is nothing on std{out,err} to say what the problem is.

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

Ahhh. Hrm. Seems to work now. I just restarted evolution and now it seems to be fully working. Yay.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

@Brian: OK, if you can report here any regression you may find it will be cool.

I'm subscribing motu-release to have a second opinion on this.
I don't think rebuilding the current package is enough, since this changelog entry:

Update new icons to make jescs work with fix of #467115.

indicates that it won't work with current evolution.
Patching with just that fix won't make much sense since that's about the whole change (the other is the debug log one).
Since the debug log change is not very invasive, the package builds and installs fine, testing looks good so far, no r(b)depends, I'm quite happy to ack this.

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

Cesare,

Your PPA archive of evoltuion-jescs seems to have disappeared. I had hoped to get the updated version with the resolved conflict so that it would not keep my database in a broken state.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

@Brian: Re-Uploaded. Note that you have to remove the one you forced before installing this version. The version number is such that you will be able to upgrade to the official one from the repo once its approved.

Hrm. I was able to install it (without removing the old one) and it
said it was "downgrading" the old one but all looks fine:

Most excellent! Thanx!

This will also close current NBS on libcamel1.2-12:

Unless I get any negative feedback I'll upload this tomorrow.
