salimma's Journal: Red Hat apt-get fun

So I wanted to try out Evolution 1.2 beta2 (1.1.2), got frustrated at it being available in binary form to Red Hat 7.2/3 users, and decided to rebuild packages from Rawhide instead.

Built everything, even re-enabled Pilot support, thanks to some snooping at Ximian's spec file, and.. my apt repository went down. Turns out there are enthusiastic users out there and while it's fine with small apps like Gaim and Rhythmbox, it's no-no with Evolution; my daily quota was only 50MB.

Arrgh, should have checked. In any case, the repository is back up, with more decent set-up instructions, at MessLab
