Hi freeslkr, I'm currently the Fedora packager for Barry. Unfortunately, I've been having trouble getting a newer build made. I'm waiting for a response from others on the mailing list here, but it's been a little quiet as of late. > I'm thinking of building the barry-0.15-0.5.20090109git, libopensync-0.22, > libopensync-plugin-*-0.22, and msynctool-0.22 packages from the Fedora 11 > RC. Fedora was using OpenSync 0.3x at the time I built barry-0.15-0.5.20090109git so you won't be able to sync using this package from the repos. > Is there something better to do (building from development branches)?

You can build from source and directions available on the barry website if you like or wait for me to build a new package once I have a few issues ironed out (hopefully very soon). I believe evolution is the best to sync with, but someone may correct me on that. If you're building from source you'll want to use libopensync-0.22, which you can get from the Fedora repos.
