Nothing's being held back yet. We're trying valiantly to get the base freeze underway; there are only 8 release-critical bugs left in base (http://base.debian.net/ - I think at least 4 of those can be ignored, too), so that's nearly ready, but even once that starts base packages will still be allowed smoothly through into testing. It's only in a month or so's time, when standard is nearly free of RC bugs, that base packages start being held back. And anyway none of this will affect evolution for a couple of months. According to http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html: * evolution 0.12-1 (new) (optional) (low) + Maintainer: Takuo KITAME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> + evolution uploaded 20 days ago, out of date by 10 days! + out of date on alpha: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.10-2) + out of date on m68k: evolution, evolution-dev, libcamel-dev, libcamel0 (from 0.11.0-1) + libcamel0 (alpha i386 m68k powerpc sparc) is buggy (1 > 0) + not considered That is, it needs to be compiled on alpha and m68k, and someone needs to work out how to fix the grave bug #108116 against libcamel0. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
