Re: [Evolution] downloads page

JFTR every distro is free to have it's own policy and usually they've
got reasons for doing things the way they do it. FWIW I'm an Arch Linux
user and AFAIK it always supports the latest version of Evolution
available as binary by a package, this at least s the policy, while the
default packages should follow upstream, e.g. regarding to hard
dependencies.

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/evolution/

Then there's the Arch build system, it provides an easy way to compile
it on our own and to build a package.

        [rocketmouse archlinux ~]$ ls /var/abs/extra/evolution*
        /var/abs/extra/evolution:
        evolution.install  PKGBUILD
        
        /var/abs/extra/evolution-data-server:
        evolution-data-server.install  fix-google-2fa-2.patch
        fix-google-2fa-4.patch
        fix-google-2fa-1.patch         fix-google-2fa-3.patch  PKGBUILD
        
        /var/abs/extra/evolution-ews:
        PKGBUILD

It in addition provides a special user repository system called AUR.
