Warning to Debian experimental users

Parent article: Evolution 2.0.0 released

I have tested the Debian experimental packages, and they fail to migrate my 112 MiB ~/evolution directory. Have reported already, no solution (or diagnosis) in sight yet.

That's why they call it "experimental"

You mean you're trusting the integrity of your email data to something called "experimental"? There are several Evolution/GNOME 2.8 integration issues in Debian now; unless you want to be among the leading-edge bug finders and squashers, wait a month or two before trying.

Ever heard of a backup copy? And yes, it is the experimental package, but it's not like it's version 0.2 or anything the like.

Anyway this was a long time ago. All fixed now.
