[Evolution] evolution packages for Debian

[Peter Teichman <peter helixcode com>]

I have built some Debian packages for Evolution and its dependencies,
and am releasing them in the hopes that someone out there will find
them useful.

These aren't of nearly the same quality as the Helix GNOME debs. There
are some known minor packaging issues, but things appear to work
fine. Keep in mind that all the packages involved are in a prerelease
state.

In particular, the gconf deb runs a program in its postinstall script
that requires oaf. This starts oafd, which remains running after the
install is finished. Feel free to kill this root-owned oafd after the
install is over. I don't know a good way to handle this problem, since
root could be running some programs that require oafd to be
running. That rules out killing it off in the postinst. I'll look into
things to see what can be done.

These have been built and tested under Woody, though they should work
on Potato as well. As with the Helix GNOME debs, I consider any
failure to work on Potato to be a bug. Please file a bug report if you
see any problems of that sort. ( http://bugs.helixcode.com/ )

These have been built for the i386 architecture - that's the only
machine I have available at the moment. Source packages are provided,
though.

The appropriate apt line is:
deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/evolution/distributions/Debian ./

Share and enjoy.
