Hi,

I would like to point out that it is now possible to build
mail-notification with support for Evolution 2.4 without having the
complete Evolution source available.


Step 1:

Install the evolution-dev and evolution-data-server-dev packages (as
well as libgnomeprintui2.2-dev, which seems to be missing from the build
depends).

Step 2:

Add the upstream patch at
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/mailnotify/mail-notification-2.0-evolution-2.4.diff
 to debian/patches

Step 3:

Modify DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS in debian/rules to include
"--with-evolution-source-dir=/usr/include/evolution-2.4"

Step 4:

Build the package. Install. Enjoy.


One problem: This introduces a dependency on the evolution package,
which means that the Evolution plugin should probably be split off into
a separate package. Another option is to ignore the dependencies
generated by the plugin. I don't think it will do any harm to have the
plugin installed by itself without Evolution being present.

Otherwise it seems to work perfectly.
