From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020625 Description of problem: The release notes of Red Hat Linux 7.3 note that the gnome-pim package has been removed. I think that this is unfortunate because gnomecal and gnomecard are nice, lightweight alternatives to evolution. I am a fan of both and would like to request that they be included in future Red Hat Linux versions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to install the gnome-pim package. Actual Results: Gnome-pim rpm is not included in Red Hat Linux 7.3+. Expected Results: Well, I guess gnome-pim should have been installed. Additional info:
It's not maintained upstream. Until someone picks it up and actively maintains it, not much we can do - it's guaranteed to bitrot eventually. There were already quite a few unresolved bugs and issues a year ago when gnome-pim was dropped. It'll only be worse now. We try to avoid shipping software that isn't maintained since the bugs don't get fixed, and it doesn't have any future.
A gentleman named Sebastian Rittau seems to be porting gnome-pim to GNOME2. He work is available at http://me.in-berlin.de/~jroger/gnome-pim.
