[Evolution] Bug#328418: running it

[jerome lacoste]

Hi.

just to say that I managed to get evo 2.4 running on evol by tweaking
and using ubuntu libgal packages.
That was just before I found out that my home sarge server got hacked :(

For those who want to perform the operation, here's a short and long
description:

- download ubuntu's packages for libgal-2.4
- unpackage
- tweak control file
- repackage
- install

If you screw up, you can downgrade doing

apt-get install libgal2.4-common=2.4.3-1.1 libgal2.4-0=2.4.3-1.1

Detailed install:

wget  ubuntu_mirror_repos/..../libgal2.4-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
wget  ubuntu_mirror_repos/..../libgal2.4-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Then

mkdir -p libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN
dpkg-deb -x libgal2.4-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386
dpkg-deb -e libgal2.4-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN/
vi libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN/control
// change names and references from libgal2.4 to libgal
// add a Replaces: libgal2.4-0
dpkg -b libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/ libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

mkdir -p libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN
dpkg-deb -x libgal2.4-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386
dpkg-deb -e libgal2.4-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN/
vi libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN/control
// change names and references from libgal2.4 to libgal
// add a Replaces: libgal2.4-common
dpkg -b libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/ libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

dpkg -i libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

install the experimental packages.

Voila. Hope that helped. Now I've got to check my server.
