Evolution

[Sigurd]

Hi,
today I am using Evolution as email client. It is a nice suite. But the repositories provide only an old version of Evolution. Right now it is version 3.18.5.2. On the website of Evolution they noticed that version 3.22.x is the recent stable version. But at this website I only can get the source code of this version. Why the repositories do not provide this version as debian packages? Is there another repository that provides a newer version of Evolution as debian packages?
Kind regards,
Sigurd

Maui is based on Neon which is based on Ubuntu LTS 16.04
This version does not provide anything newer than Gnome 3.18 including Evolution.

There is a Gnome 3 Staging PPA which offers newer packages though there is a big warning on top of the PPA that it might break stuff. https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+arch...e3-staging

Hi leszek,
Thank you for your advice. I added the repository and I got Evolution 3.20.5. It is not the newest stable version 3.22.x. But it is better than 3.18.x I had by the usual repositories of Ubuntu. It looks like that everything is working fine.
Thank you and have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year,
Sigurd
