Re: [SyncEvolution] SyncEvolution in Fremantle

Hello Maemo! It has been a while that I posted anything here. Ironically, since I started working on SyncEvolution full-time beginning of this year, I seem to have *less* time left compared to the previous years when I did it in my spare time ;-) For those who haven't heard about it: * SyncEvolution is a SyncML client synchronizing PIM data with SyncML servers [1]. The versions <= 0.8.1 are available for Maemo [2] and work with the builtin address book and the Dates calendar. * This year it became the sync solution in Moblin and switched to the Synthesis SyncML engine [3], with the goal of using that also as SyncML server on a desktop [4]. * We have direct client to server synchronization working in the development branch, without depending on closed third party software [5]. I'd love to see the latest SyncEvolution releases packaged properly for Maemo, and so do users [6]. 0.8.1 still works fine on the older Maemo releases it is available for, but 0.9 has several relevant improvements, for example synchronization with Google Contacts and a GTK GUI. I'm posting here because I hope that an interested developer or maintainer will step up and take over packaging for Maemo. You can be sure that this will have full support when it comes to merging patches and including the Maemo port as first-class citizen in releases.
