Re: [evolution-patches] evolution may fail to start up evolution data server automatically

[Irene <Irene Huang Sun COM>]

Hi, Harish

Excuse me, but could you give us more details about the problems in the
installation of evolution-data-server after our patch is applied? So
that we may be able to see why. 

Moreover, you mentioned the new scheme for 2.5.2, which if there's no
misunderstanding, should be the so called the patch for
version-independent installable files. Could you please share the patch
or give some explanation? 

Making our patch conditional should be OK, but we would like to discuss
more to decide which solution is optimal before we plunge into that. How
do you think?

Thanks
