I've written some Python scripts to make it easier to work with Evolution's configuration information, in the hope of automating mass deployments of Evolution.I've tested this, and had it working for an Evolution 2.0 deployment. I suspect the approach will break under some circumstances, and with different versions of Evolution. Comments and patches welcome.
Hey, this and Mark's LDAP gconf backend are a really nice start. What's currently missing for my environment is PERSONALIZE_SERVERNAME as there are god-knows-how-many different servers around the company.
Oh well.. this adds optional PERSONALIZE_SERVERNAME and PERSONALIZE_MAILBOXNAME settings to it - the mailbox name isn't necessarily same as username. Oh and the mailbox name can contain dots in it so the mailboxRegex also tweaked.
Didn't test this in action but based on visual inspection of the results it seems to do what it's supposed to.
Further todo: currently only the Mail Account entry is fixed, other places potentially needing fixing of username and server name are Tasks-, Addressbook- and Calendar Source.
