Hello,

I am working on an ebuild for opensync. I have libopensync, kdepim plugin, file plugin, and multisync with gui version 0.17 built, but I am trying to figure out how to get libopensync-plugin-synce built. I think I am going to have to pull the raw source to try it.

I've modified your libopensync-plugin-file ebuild to compile the evo2 plugin and it compiles and works fine. The only problem is that it does not have the interface built in yet to change the options, but the command line works. Should I post it somewhere? It's really just renaming libopensync-plugin-file-0.18.ebuild to libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.18.ebuild.

You would like to have a look at this bugs:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111623 (libopensync-0.18.ebuild)
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111697 (multisync-0.90.18.ebuild)
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111624 (libopensync-plugin-file-0.18.ebuild)
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112222 (libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.18.ebuild)

kdepim should be no problem either, but im on gnome, and don't want to deal with kde.

[edit] added link to evo plugin

let's see whether I can pull the syncml plugin from the cvs on the weekend.

My preferred sync would be mozilla calendar <-> nokia phone.

I've inquired about syncml on the opensync mailing list -- it's still in the making. Also, they are planning a thunderbird plugin and while the data is saved in the same format as evolution2, the thunderbird plugin would still have to be programmed from scratch.

So. I guess I'll wait. Regards. Igor

I read that the syncml plugin is available (experimental) here http://www.opensync.org/wiki/syncml-guide Anyone tried it yet?

Edit: I would also like to know if opensync is any "better" than multisync, since I have some problems with the latter.
