Thanks, but I’ve already checked that. At the very least it has a libgcc-s1 dependency which doesn’t exist in Beowulf/buster. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Has it progressed past Exchange 2010/2013 support? I might take another look at that too but I’m not hopeful. I do like the dark mode theme in thunderbird which I never had last time I used Evolution. Thanks ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Re: [DNG] Current state of VPN software ?
How did the SSH solution work out for you, performance wise? Why did you move from the SSH method to OpenVPN?

[DNG] Upto date copy of QGIS ...
Hi, I'm seeking advice. I need a more upto date version of QGIS, geographical information system, than is in ASCII - I need a version 3. On the QGIS downloads site ... https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#linux It gives info for adding to sources.list for debian/ubuntu systems. Is there any chance any of those given would work with Devuan? Does anyone know what version of QGIS is in Beowulf? I may "risk" an upgrade. cheers Jim ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Evolution does indeed connect to Office365 using the docs at https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/EWS/OAuth2 Unfortunately it doesn’t have a tray indicator, and the evolution-indicator package never made it into Debian. I will still give it a go for a while to see how it compares to thunderbird.___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
