Description Preston Crow 2005-07-11 10:02:18 UTC
Due to several issues with newer versions of Evolution, I'm switching back to 1.4.6, but the ebuild has been removed from portage.  I happened to have a copy in /var/db/pkg on one box, so I was able to put it in /usr/local/portage, but portage really should keep the last 1.4.x version available if at all possible (just as it has the last 1.2.x version).

If you're curious, here are the bugs that make life with newer evolution unacceptable:

Grab it from WebCVS and put it into your overlay.
