Hi Folks, Apologies if this is a RTFM, but I couldn't find any obvious info on this. I'm currently using Evo 1.4 and I'm quite happy with it. I'm seriously thinking about making the leap to 2.0. I'm wondering if there is any risk involved in doing this. Will I loose any of my email, contacts, filters, calander or any other data?
1.4 uses the directory "$HOME/evolution"; 1.5 uses its own directory ($HOME/.evolution). therefore if you change mail and contacts and appointments in 1.5 this will not affect 1.4-data, but evo-settings are stored in gconf so if you change them in 1.4 it will also affect 1.5 and the other way round...
If there is a list of manual steps that need to be followed can someone point me in the right direction? Does evo 1.5 silently import everything from 1.4, or do I need to run some special import tool?
i myself first made a backup of my 1.4-data, then "evolution --force-shutdown" and then i installed evo1.5. when first starting evo-1.5 i forced migration from 1.4: "evolution-1.5 --force-migrate".
Is there a recommended way of installing Evo 1.5? should I just grab it via a snapshot from red-carpet, or should I just bite the bullet and build it from source?
use what you prefer... hope that helped a little bit, andre
