Hello Mathieu,
I'm currently involved with barry for the phone integration project (see
blueprints); this project aims to package all required libraries, push
projects towards common and unified frameworks and ultimatly make using
phones and pda's with syncing as easy as it is currently to use music
players
Would you be interested in helping me with the packaging side of the task?
this is for hardy release so I'm not as worried about a gutsy release (my
guess is that you are) but we need to make sure that the automatic
blackberry detection and use is either package up seperatly or that
barry-tools is a recommended install. This also then ties into getting
opensync 0.34 packaged for hardy as well as conduit (when it's released with
opensync support).
Thoughts and feelings?
Best Regards, Martin Owens
