Hi Rex, Just now I was looking for a way to remove attachments in evolution. While searching I found your plugin on mentors.debian.net. Since I'd like to use it (and therefore upload it to Debian), here is a review:
Firstly it didn't actually work as expected. I attached your .dsc file to this message in my drafts folder, clicked the menu item, the message was deleted and a new message created, with the attachment still attached, but changed into a text file saying that the attachment has been removed. I expected that the attachment would actually be removed instead of made smaller and changed to text. A wishlist item: I'd like to be able to delete specific attachments, some messages can have more than one attachment but I don't want to delete all of them. I think it would be great if your plugin could be merged into upstream evolution for evolution 2.26 so everyone has it. I'll be happy to upload it to Debian in the meantime though. The packaging seems specific to evolution 2.22 (version numbers in paths, conflicts against other versions), I think it would be good to future-proof it since evolution 2.24 has been released and hopefully will be in experimental soon (#). If that isn't possible, your build-dependencies will need to be tightened to require evo 2.22. You don't specify which version of the GPL that the Debian packaging is licensed under. You should use the full "This program is free software; you can redistribute it" blurb in the upstream source code, not just in debian/copyright. There is no homepage in debian/control and there is a related valid lintian -I warning: I: evolution-remove-attachments source: debian-watch-file-is-missing -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
