[gnome-calendar] Evolution dependency

Mons1990 · 2017-12-26 20:54:03

HI all

I have a question about the GNOME Calendar package. Why with the last update 3.26.1-1 it requires the whole Evolution client to work? I'm satisfied with Geary and I wouldn't like to have two programs doing the same work.

Thank you in advance for answers.

Check the package changelog and you'll find your answer

Hi,
In any case, it's annoying has several programs to do the same occupying disk space and CPU time.
Specially in the case of gnome-calendar and "evolution calendar". How I disable evolution to start itself and manage the calendar?

I see that it loses some functionality but if you don't use .ICS files then shouldn't it be fine without evolution?
That would seem to indicate an optional dependency, no?

I have submitted a request to re-open that task.

You can just edit the pkgbuild file to remove evolution as a dependency and compile it. It works just fine without evolution.
You could also use # pacman -Rnsdd to remove evolution despite the dependency though I hadn't tested doing it that way.
It's not hard needing to do something like this but I prefer not needing to maintain edits to official packages since they need to be edited every time there's an update.

I have executed 'pacman -Rnsdd evolution', I've restarted the PC but still there are several 'evolution-data-server' in execution:

You probably want to remove the evolution-data-server package if you want to get rid of those.
Also, removing non-optional package dependencies might not be the best idea in the long run.

Definitely 'evolution-data-server' is a obligated dependency to run gnome-calendar and so on...

Mons1990 · 2018-04-02 20:36:13

Evolution and data server are different things. Forgetting this...

I agree with people asking for evolution dependency removing. Please consider it.
