[Evolution] A few questions, comments, problems

[Vincent Trussart <trussarv CIRANO UMontreal CA>]

1- I once tried (and failed) to compile evolution from CVS.  It
scattered
a lot of files in my /usr partition (I deleted what I could) and I think
I
missed some of them... The evolution 0.3.1 preview (from rpms) works
fine except for the compose window which dumps core systematically.
I attached a backtrace to this email.  Could someone help me find what
is causing the problem? Thanks a lot.

2- I tried the new GPG support in evolution.  Works great for encrypted
messages,
will it (or can it already) verify signatures?  Yesterday someone on the
list
said that there is a problem with the openssl license preventing its use
with
evolution.  Is there such problems with the open source PKI stuff from
Mozilla?
(I think it is under the MPL)
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/
Could this code be reused?

3- One nice thing that could be done with the gpg support is to encrypt
all the passwords
held by evolution using the gpg passphrase : upon startup, the
passphrase could be asked
only once...

4- Why isn't the ldap support compiled in for the previews?  Is there
also a licensing problem
there?



Thanks a lot,
