Yes, I know you shouldn't work on your server, but it's a small LAN, and I don't want to install yet another a computer. I'm surprised that client software is kept so old, on purpose, it really should only have itself to depend on, I can only imagine that newer versions can't handle older system libraries. Server software, I fully understand. Other things do stay far more current, Firefox, for instance. I won't go down the headaches of flatpaks and their ilk. I've already got the pain of dealing with an appimage of MuseScore (can't print, isn't updated with all the other software with "yum update", can't be updated because newer versions won't run on CentOS 7, etc). I don't fancy having to manually look after more software, and I don't see this version of Evolution missing any functionality, at this time. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 13:59:45 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
