Sure, He's asked me to handle the package for now, also, Adam Williamson no
longer works for Mandriva and actually works for Fedora so isn't the
packager there either.
The barry package is available in all main repos that come with Fedora, I've
just pushed this latest update into their updates-testing repo to see if it
fixes a number of reported bugs.
Could take a look at the two bugs marked New, I haven't even looked if they
are related to the version that has been in fedora till now, so they could
be fixed.

I'm not sure if you want to follow the fedora rpm spec or not, they have a
number of guidelines that not everyone likes sometimes. The one thing I
noticed is that your spec file installs the barrybackup icon in
_datadir/pixmaps which from what they tell me is deprecated, you should be
using _datadir/icons/hicolor/XxX/apps/ so the icon file you provide is 48x48
so that replaces the XxX. Other than that they are fairly similarly laid
out.

Oh fun...
On a completely different side note, I was testing this new version and had
it trying to sync contacts, I was using the opensync plugins for barry and
sunbird, it fails when trying to sync contacts, I realize you don't have
anything to do with sunbird or their opensync plugin, however since it just
sits there you have to kill the process, at which point the blackberry can
no longer communicate with the system, you get some usb error. breset fixes
that, as does un-plugging and re-plugging in the device. I'm wondering if
that isn't something that the tool/plugin could detect automatically...
Hopefully that made sense without specific details.
Thanks,
