Summary

Evolution is the GNOME mailer, calendar, contact manager and

communications tool. The tools which make up Evolution will

be tightly integrated with one another and act as a seamless

personal information-management tool.

There were several security flaws found in the mozilla package, which

evolution depends on. Users of evolution are advised to upgrade to this

updated package which has been rebuilt against a later version of

mozilla which is not vulnerable to these flaws.

- Removed explicit run-time spec-file requirement on mozilla.

The Mozilla NSS API/ABI stabilised by version 1.7.3

The libraries are always located in the libdir

However, the headers are in /usr/include/mozilla-1.7.6

and so they move each time the mozilla version changes.

So we no longer have an explicit mozilla run-time requirement in the

specfile;

a requirement on the appropriate NSS and NSPR .so files is

automagically generated on build.

We have an explicit, exact build-time version, so that we can find

the headers (without

invoking an RPM query from the spec file; to do so is considered bad

practice)

- Introduced mozilla_build_version, to replace mozilla_version (now 1.7.6)
