Hey Guys,
I submitted a request to the Fedora list for package inclusion of
multisync into fedora core. I will relay feedback as it comes in on the
list and the decision as to whether or not the request was accepted.
Below is a copy of the email. It follows the package request template.
Subject: Package Request: MultiSync
Name: MultiSync
Version: .81
License: GPL
Website: http://www.multisync.org
Actively Maintained?: Yes
Packages exist? yes
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64305)
Description:
MultiSync is a free modular program to synchronize calendars,
addressbooks and other PIM data between programs on your computer and
other computers, mobile devices, PDAs or cell phones. MultiSync works on
any Gnome platform, such as Linux.
Reasons for requesting:
MultiSync is a great software package that has been missing from
linux
and gnome for a long time. It really helps you keep all your PIM data
together and current. This is a great package to include for a user
platform. MultiSync helps give the user "virtually seemless" integration
with all their consumer electronic devices. It also makes a users
digital life more cohesive. It syncs well with many platforms, through
plugins, for the follwing: (Note: not all plugins must be installed)
Ximian Evolution synchronization, supporting calendar, ToDos and
contacts.
* IrMC Mobile Client synchronization (supported by e.g.
SonyEricsson T68i/T610/Z600, Siemens S55 phones etc.) via
Bluetooth or IR on Linux, or cable connection.
* Windows CE / Pocket PC synchronization. This plugin is part of
the SynCE project, and can be downloaded there.
* Opie and Zaurus synchronization.
* SyncML support (supported by e.g. SonyEricsson P800/P900 and
many other phones and devices). SyncML also allows you to do
remote connection of two MultiSync programs via an encrypted
connection over the net.
* Palm synchronization.
* LDAP synchronization.
* Backup of your PIM data.
Rough Software requirements: (Note: not all plugins must be installed)
MultiSync sync engine:
* Gnome libraries
* Bonobo
* ORBit
* libpthread
Evolution Plugin:
* Evolution 1.4.X
IrMC Sync Plugin:

* bluez-libs >= 2.3
