Description of problem: System upgraded from Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 3, keeping /home partition with evolution files in ~/evolution. After started for the first time, Evolution asked to migrate data (about 240 MB, mostly IMAP accounts plus contacts, calendar and some tasks) and after a while it freezed. I waited some hours but didn't come back. Trying to re-run evolution freezed at the same point. Then I realized that a ~/.evolution file was made, so I renamed ~/evolution to ~/evolution.old so it didn't try to migrate. Evolution then started correctly but my contacts/calendar/tasks where no migrated. I found some bugs related to this in Evolution's bugzilla, at: http://bugzilla.ximian.com./buglist.cgi?product=Evolution&version=2.0.2&email1=&emailtype1=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailtype2=substring&emailreporter2=1&changedin=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&short_desc=migrat&short_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&bug_file_loc=&bug_file_loc_type=substring&keywords=&keywords_type=anywords&op_sys_details=&op_sys_details_type=substring&version_details=&version_details_type=substring&cmdtype=doit&order=%27Importance%27&form_name=query There seems to be a patch on this thread: http://bugzilla.ximian.com./show_bug.cgi?id=68787 that seems to solve this bug (?), so I request it to be applied. The direct URL for the patch is: http://bugzilla.ximian.com./showattachment.cgi?attach_id=13125
I used the new evolution test packages: evolution-2.0.4-1.i386.rpm evolution-data-server-1.0.4-3.i386.rpm libgal2-2.2.5-1.i386.rpm libsoup-2.2.2-1.FC3.i386.rpm Used my OLD evolution/ directory and the migration finally worked :) Now I have my calendar and my contacts again. I am happy.
Thanks for the feedback!
