Hi, all. I haven't subscribed to the list before, but followed the
archives. I notice in a recent post - subject "Call for testing: binary
packages" - Chris advertised OpenSUSE Build Service-based packages for
Barry for "Mandriva 2008" (I don't know if this was in fact 2008
Spring).

It's worth noting that there's not much need to use these :). Barry is
officially packaged for Mandriva (by me) and the packages are regularly
updated in both the development distribution and in the /backports
repository for stable releases. The packages are tested to work, and
there are metapackages for convenience in installation and
synchronizing: the procedure for synchronizing a Blackberry on 2008
Spring is written up at
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1_Synchronization#Blackberry_devices_using_a_USB_cable
 .

Just wanted to make sure anyone using Mandriva is aware of the official
packages.

There's also a patch in our package. It predates my involvement with the
package, but it is named 'barry-compile.patch', implying it fixes a
compilation issue. It changes three ints to longs , so I suspect it's an
x86-64 related issue. I'm attaching this in case it would make sense to
adopt it upstream. Thanks!
