Hi :)
Many projects have a download page, for example;
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
http://www.libreoffice.org/download
http://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/thunderbird/
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Some are more complicated than others but none have a different download for
every single version of Gnu&Linux. Adobe offers about 3 choices; Yum, tarball
or Rpm. I notice that many commercial hardware manufacturers seem to think
that writing for Gnu&Linux would require hundreds of different drivers and use
that as an excuse for not even writing 1 OpenSource one.
If i wasn't using Ubuntu would my only option for getting Evolution outside of
my repos mean i would have to compile Evo from source?? If so would i have to
do that for each different machine in my company?? If i then upgraded my OSes
then would i have to recompile again?
Regards from
Tom :)

+1
Of course, that doesn't prevent interested parties from maintaining such a
download site (maybe they could call it Friends of Evolution) but that would
depend on volunteers willing to build new versions as they appear. Sounds like
a whole can of worms to be honest.
BTW I'm not offering to do this (just in case :-)
