Evolution 3.2 solved my Groupwise problems by eliminating Groupwise support altogether. It’s an odd way to do it, considering that both originate from the same company, Novell. I am now left without a groupware solution for Linux.

In all fairness, mine is the unstable (“Sid”) branch of Debian Linux, which means that the Groupwise library will likely be updated and re-included at some point. It’s just that the functionality used to be one of the core advantages of Evolution and what brought me to it in the first place.

Every time I start to think that Linux is finally ready for the desktop, something happens.
