The translation should be merged into the appdata related files.
The evolution.appdata.xml.in had been moved due to
INTLTOOL_XML_NOMERGE_RULE being used for gsettings schemas.
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.
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.

Add a --with-capplet configure switch defaulting to 'no'. The capplet
will eventually be removed unless I see someone actively maintaining it.
This library is temporary. The plan is to eventually distribute its
APIs across libedataserver and libedataserverui, but it's a little too
late to do that for Evolution-Data-Server 3.4.
These libraries are bound for E-D-S so they live at the lowest layer of
Evolution for now -- even libeutil can link to them (but please don't).
This is the first step toward moving mail handing to a D-Bus service.
Both of these modules are deprecated and going away in GNOME 3 but we
still rely heavily on them for GnomeCalendar and ETable. So, welcome
to the island of unwanted libraries...
Evolution maintainers should install this so they can safely open
GtkBuilder files in Glade 3 without Glade silently deleting custom
widgets it doesn't understand. The catalog makes it understand.
- Collect all shell modules into a new top-level 'modules' directory:
$(top_srcdir)/modules/addressbook
$(top_srcdir)/modules/calendar
$(top_srcdir)/modules/mail
Nothing is allowed to link to these, not plugins nor other modules.
THIS SOLVES BUG #571275 AND OPENS THE DOOR TO PORTING TO MAC OS X.
- Mimic the libevolution-mail-shared library from master (except drop
the "shared" suffix) and have libevolution-mail-importers and all
mail-related plugins link to it.
- Discard the a11y subdirectories and have the files live alongside
their counterpart widgets.
