[SyncEvolution] SyncEvolution 2.0.0 pre-release

[Patrick Ohly]

Hello!

I have tagged and built SyncEvolution 1.99.1, a pre-release of what will
become 2.0.0. As discussed in
https://lists.01.org/hyperkitty/list/syncevolution@syncevolution.org/thread/I3TDB7HTXJDQACI3Y54QXDEYGFPQLOTW/
I am simplifying the binaries (no more i386, no KDE).

The new release is available as:
- source code:
  https://downloads.syncevolution.org/syncevolution/sources/syncevolution-1.99.1.tar.gz
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/SyncEvolution/syncevolution
- tar archive:
  https://downloads.syncevolution.org/syncevolution/bundle/amd64-tar-gz/syncevolution-1.99.1-bundle-amd64.tar.gz
- in the *experimental* apt repo:
  deb http://downloads.syncevolution.org/apt experimental main

The GPG key for all apt repos were renewed. To get the current signing
key, use
   sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 43D03AD9

Speaking of signing keys, so far I used an expiry period of one year. Would
anyone care if I made that longer?

The .deb package installs on Debian Stable and Ubuntu Bionic. It does
not currently install on Debian Testing and Ubuntu Groovy because
libcppunit changed its ABI. I intend to address that before 2.0.0. As a
workaround, one can manually install
https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd64/libcppunit-1.14-0/download
manually beforehand (untested!).

I have tested the new binaries with Bluetooth/OBEX and a Nokia N97 and
CardDAV with Google Contacts. Automated testing is also up again, but
with less coverage than before (only Memotoo for SyncML, Google
Contacts, Google Calendar).

Testing is based on containers now. If someone wants to see
interoperability and/or compilation tested with other platforms (TDE,
OwnCloud), then a Dockerfile which prepares a suitable environment would
be a good start for adding that.
