Yes...
Are there any binaries that can run without evolution installed?
It's
fine with me if not, but I want to mention how people might use the
alternatives.
It seems possible when building from source.
No, only binaries for Evolution are pre-compiled at the moment. The
"-evolution" part of the name was added for the case that other versions
might be made available at some point.
I'm no longer sure whether that is really necessary. If some backend in
one large archive depends on some libs which are not available, it
simply won't load. The reduction of effort for preparing these downloads
(and perhaps for users when choosing one) IMHO outweighs the increased
download size.
This will be relevant once we start pre-compiling KDE/Akonadi support. I
started looking into that, but then ran out of time.
