opensync 0.3 is a very bad idea to include in a distribution, because it
doesn't work. The opensync maintainers expressly say it should not be
included in distributions, right on the opensync home page. If you want
to have any hope of having synchronization of just about anything
actually *work*, you should convince the FC guys to downgrade to
opensync 0.22 until 0.3 / 0.4 is actually usable.

We had the same issue on Mandriva. Someone blindly bumped opensync from
0.22 to 0.3 without bothering to test whether it was actually at all
usable. I came along, tried to actually get synchronization to work, and
found it was completely impossible, so I had to spend several days
downgrading all the packages. Then thing started to work.

I expect there'll be a Barry plugin for the new opensync once they
actually get a stable (0.4) release out - would that be correct, Chris?
