Is it reasonable to install a current version of Evolution (say 3.16.1) on Ubuntu 14.04? I added the recommended 'ppa:fta/gnome3', but I'm still only offered 3.10.4 from the Ubuntu archive. It seems the ppa currently only supports Vivid and Utopic. I downloaded the tar for 3.16.1, however building this on Trusty seems onerous. I run './configure', read the failure message, google for the package containing the failed dependency, install the package, and repeat. I've one-by-one installed several packages already and don't feel like the end is in site. Is there a better way to accomplish this? It looks like at one time the ppa offered '3.13.7-fta1.2~trusty'. Is there a way for me to get that package? Or was it removed because it didn't work?

sudo apt-get build-dep evolution.E: Unable to find a source package for evolution-- Does this imply I have some configuration error?deb-srcin/etc/apt/sources.listand runsudo apt-get updateand continue withapt-get build-depas suggested.No package 'libedataserverui-1.2' found...is this a loosing battle? I can't find any package that contains it, not to mention the other version issues likeRequested 'camel-1.2 >= 3.16.1' but version of camel is 3.10.4Should I expect to be able to succeed without heroic effort?
