I have it working, but at the moment it is a bit difficult. The idea
is that you can add
deb http://red-carpet.ximian.com/debian woody main
to your sources.list and then you can install red-carpet. red-carpet
looks at the /etc/issue file to figure out which distro you have. I
changed my issue to be:
Debian GNU/\s 3.0 \n \l
so it thought I was still running stable. With red-carpet you can
then download all the rest (evolution, connector, etc.)
However at the moment red-carpet doesn't seem to work. Also the
sources line above doesn't seem to work either. The line:
deb http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/ximian/debian woody main
but that doesn't get you the connector.
Fortunately red-carpet has an on-disk cache so I still have the debian
packages. (or I'd be in trouble).
