Bug#722040: sflphone: FTBFS agains evolution-data-server 3.8

[biebl at debian.org]

Source: sflphone
Version: 1.2.3-2
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 sflphone 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, sflphone 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 sflphone, 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 sflphone 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.
