Database name hardcoded

[Matthias Urlichs]

Binary package hint: evolution-couchdb

When talking to a remote server, evolution-couchdb uses the hardcoded database name "contacts".

This is insufficient. I want to separate my business and personal contacts. (No, for various reasons using tags is not sufficient. No, I don't want two separate logins.)

I hacked evolution-couchdb to use the display name as the database name. This is arguably wrong and contradicts the tooltip, but I don't know evolution's internals well enough to extend the dialog appropriately.

Thanks for taking the time to file this bug report, and make Ubuntu better.

Could you please file the same report upstream, so that the developers can work on a full patch that would solve the tooltip issues you mentioned?

Thanks again.

I've just fixed this in the unstable version, allowing users to specify a database name (defaulting to 'contacts' if they don't specify it). So should be available in the next unstable release tarball
