Hi,
just saw, that evolution-data-server is shipped with fc3. i just found something on internet, that it is for centralisation of adressbook and calendar. Does somebody have something more detailled?
Thanks, Roger

evolution-data-server is the bit of Evolution that handles calendars, tasks and contacts, which has been split out into a separate package so that other programs can access and manipulate the data.
AFAIK there aren't any other packages in Fedora using this, though there's a patch for gnome-panel to make your appointments and tasks appear in the Panel's calendar; this would add a dependency on e-d-s to gnome-panel. The current Fedora gnome-panel packages don't use this AFAIK.

Although 'rpm -q --whatrequires evolution-data-server' says "no package requires evolution-data-server" this package supplies /usr/lib/libebook.so.8 and /usr/lib/libedataserver.so.3. Various pieces of the current openoffice apparently cannot live without these two. :-)

Thanks Dave,
This would mean, that you can install e-d-s on a separate machine for your whole network and serve and calendar and adressdata from a central point of view??

Unfortunately not, right now. e-d-s is really only designed to aggregate all of _one user's_ sources of contacts, calendar info and tasks, and make it available to the various programs running on that machine. So, despite the title, it's more of a client-side thing, a bit like the way the X server runs on a client, that always confuses me :-)
It should be possible to access this stuff remotely via Bonobo via CORBA, but AFAIK no-one's written such a thing. You could even integrate this into e-d-s, with a "Share my Calendar" feature... perhaps a pet project for someone? This could be a way to get shared calendars going on a small network where you don't want to set up a fully-blown groupware server.

This feature is now included in the gnome-panel/applets/clock/ source. The configure script automatically detects the presence of evolution- data-server, and if found builds the clock applet with support. You can override this and disable the use of e-d-s at build time.
The latest gnome-panel RPM (2.6.0-10) from Rawhide appears to leave this to be detected at build time by not explicitly disabling this feature, ie if the build host has e-d-s installed then you will get support built.

Dave has a fix for this so it should appear in Raw Hide within the next few days.
Cheers, Mark.

Is the fix to build e-d-s support or to disable it?

OK - this is now in Raw Hide. gnome-panel now explicitly requires e-d- s, and if you click on the panel's clock you'll get your task list and today's appointments in addition to the calendar (which will also now embolden any days where you have appointments).
