Clear message

Summary

We are writing an Evolution backend to allow access to CouchDB databases for contacts and this is for now separate from Evolution source tree, so we need to package it for CouchDB

Release Note

This new package provides access to CouchDB databases (used for UbuntuOne) from Evolution, the GNOME mail, contacts and calendar program.

Rationale

As part of the integration of UbuntuOne service into the desktop, this new package will contain backends for Evolution to access contacts in local CouchDB database, which gets replicated automatically to UbuntuOne server

User stories

  • With this, users will be able to use the same contacts in UbuntuOne's web interface, Evolution, and any other application which uses CouchDB for storing contacts

Implementation

Code is being developed in upstream GNOME git server

UI Changes

Some UI additions will be added to the evolution-couchdb package to allow users to setup CouchDB addressbooks from Evolution.

Code Changes

This is a new package, and applications using Evolution storage for contacts should not need any change

Test/Demo Plan

This is part of the UbuntuOne integration being done for Karmic, so it will get tested as part of the UbuntuOne testing plan
