[DRE-maint] Bug#722042: ruby-revolution: FTBFS agains evolution-data-server 3.8

[biebl at debian.org]

Source: ruby-revolution
Version: 0.5-8
Severity: important
User: pkg-evolution-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: eds-3.8

Hi,

we are planning to upload evolution and evolution-data-server 3.8 to
unstable soon. Your package ruby-revolution declares a build dependency on
one of these packages:

 evolution-data-server-dev
 libedataserver1.2-dev
 libcamel1.2-dev
 libebook1.2-dev
 libedataserverui-3.0-dev
 libedata-book1.2-dev
 libecal1.2-dev
 libedata-cal1.2-dev
 libebackend1.2-dev

During a rebuild, ruby-revolution failed to build against
evolution-data-server 3.8. The build log can be found at [1].

One notable change is, that libedataserverui has been dropped.
If your package build-depends on libedataserverui-3.0-dev, you'll need
to get rid of that dependency.

As for some of the other API changes, see the release announcements of
evolution-data-server 3.5.3 [2].

If you want to test-build ruby-revolution, version 3.8 of evolution-data-server
is currently available in experimental.
If you don't have the time porting to the new e-d-s interfaces, disabling
e-d-s support (temporarily) might be an option. Otherwise ruby-revolution will
have to be removed from testing to not block the transition.

Ubuntu and Fedora have already done this transition, so it might be
worthwile having a look at the patches they ship.

Thanks for your cooperation.
