Hi folks,

I came across this review[1] for the "evolution-tray" plug-in[2], which seems like a handy package to have in the Fedora repos. I've been trying to build it, but it needs a "gconf-bridge.h" file which isn't in the fedora repositories. A little googling tells me this was removed from the evolution package (upstream?)[3].

Would anyone know how I can get this header. Is there an upstream for gconf-bridge that I can package separately for Fedora?

I guess you could package a snapshot of: https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgconf-bridge/ though the right way is to copy/paste the 2 files: https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgconf-bridge/tree/libgconf-bridge into your sources, and not rely on it being installed as a library.

I'm not quite sure if the evolution-tray plug-in is up to date enough to function with the current Evolution version either. Any ideas?

It's probably not up-to-date. Evolution uses GSettings now, and I doubt that poking GConf does anything. If/when you port the functionality, use GBinding: https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/GBinding.html to get the equivalent functionality with GSettings.

Cheers
