The GSettings key was removed in commit f4c30fe:
"Bug #672249 - Crash when showing message with large text/plain"
This was causing gsettings-data-convert to abort and not mark itself
as having run, so the GConf conversion runs repeatedly, potentially
overwriting changes the user made in GSettings.
If the spamassassin and sa-learn programs cannot be found with
AC_PATH_PROG, configure will abort with an error message.
You can then either:
a) install the SpamAssassin software
b) specify the path with SPAMASSASSIN=/path/to/spamassassin and/or
SA_LEARN=/path/to/sa-learn
c) pass --disable-spamassassin to configure to exclude the module
This also drops the "spamc" and "spamd" GSettings keys.
This was another MeeGo feature. MeeGo is dead, the code is starting to
bit rot and crashes on startup, the original author disappeared and the
remaining developers are not interested in maintaining it. So it's out.
The evolution-settings capplet was originally designed for Anjal, it was
used in MeeGo as part of the Express Mode effort, but doesn't really fit
in GNOME 3 nowadays (nor did it really fit in GNOME 2, in my opinion).
This is pretty clearly dead weight at this point. The MeeGo developers
have disappeared, and the remaining Evolution developers are not and do
not intend to maintain it. Plus it doesn't even build currently.
AFAICT, this key does nothing useful and only confuses me every time I
read the EShell migration code.
The "version" key records the most recently used Evolution version.
That's all we need for migration. And since downgrading Evolution is
not supported, we can assume this value will only increase over time.
All mail-parsing and formatting code has been moved to em-format.
Parsing is handeled by EMailParser class, formatting by EMailFormatter.
Both classes have registry which hold extensions - simple classes
that do actual parsing and formatting. Each supported mime-type
has it's own parser and formatter extension class.
The evolution-settings capplet was originally designed for Anjal, it was
used in MeeGo as part of the Express Mode effort, but doesn't really fit
in GNOME 3 nowadays (nor did it really fit in GNOME 2, in my opinion).
Add a --with-capplet configure switch defaulting to 'no'. The capplet
will eventually be removed unless I see someone actively maintaining it.
