Move the supporting widgets for the contact maps feature alongside
EABContactDisplay. Removing them from libeutil helps isolate our usage
of libchamplain so it's not imposed on the entire application, and even
3rd party software. That libchamplain is an optional dependency only
further complicates the matter.
Ideally I'd like to somehow isolate this feature in an extension module,
but we currently lack sufficient hooks for such an extension. So this
arrangement will have to suffice for now.
Evolution consists of entirely too many small utility libraries, which
increases linking and loading time, places a burden on higher layers of
the application (e.g. modules) which has to remember to link to all the
small in-tree utility libraries, and makes it difficult to generate API
documentation for these utility libraries in one Gtk-Doc module.
Merge the following utility libraries under the umbrella of libeutil,
and enforce a single-include policy on libeutil so we can reorganize
the files as desired without disrupting its pseudo-public API.
libemail-utils/libemail-utils.la
libevolution-utils/libevolution-utils.la
filter/libfilter.la
widgets/e-timezone-dialog/libetimezonedialog.la
widgets/menus/libmenus.la
widgets/misc/libemiscwidgets.la
widgets/table/libetable.la
widgets/text/libetext.la
This also merges libedataserverui from the Evolution-Data-Server module,
since Evolution is its only consumer nowadays, and I'd like to make some
improvements to those APIs without concern for backward-compatibility.
And finally, start a Gtk-Doc module for libeutil. It's going to be a
project just getting all the symbols _listed_ much less _documented_.
But the skeletal structure is in place and I'm off to a good start.
- Don't use the term "eplugin" for modules.
- Use the term "plugin" instead of "eplugin" for plugins.
- Split SpamAssassin settings into a separate schema.
We have a confusing array of nearly-identical CFLAGS/LIBS definitions in
configure.ac. Time to simplify. Instead let's just have one definition
that includes all the libraries provided by Evolution-Data-Server (incl.
Camel). That, in combination with GNOME_PLATFORM, gives us most of what
we need for compliation and linking, and we can sprinkle definitions for
additional library dependencies in Makefile.am's as needed.
The sync is done only once on idle after start. The method of checking for
buddy list changes is done by md5 checksum now, as the pidgin start/stop
changed file time, which was the old method of detecting changes. Also not
using getenv("HOME"), but g_get_home_dir() instead.
- Require all EPlugin and EPluginHook subtypes be registered before
loading plugins. This drastically simplifies the EPlugin/EPluginHook
negotiation.
- Turn most EPluginHook subtypes into GTypeModules and register their
types from an e_module_load() function (does not include shell hooks).
- Convert EPluginLib and the Mono and Python bindings to GTypeModules
and register their types from an e_module_load() function, and kill
EPluginTypeHook.
