Let me correct myself. I just noticed that Ubuntu only uses the outdated
"1exp7" version of opensync.
So.... that means in order to get syncing working, you need to go with
a build-your-own for now. I'm working on new repositories for 0.18.x,
to make this much easier, but for now, the best way to do it is this:
0) Install git
1) Grab the binary-meta git tree
git clone git://repo.or.cz/opensync/binary-meta.git
git submodule init
git submodule update
You may need to do the update step multiple times if you get
errors, due to repo.or.cz.
2) Uninstall any "1exp7" opensync packages that you have from outdated Ubuntu
This includes libopensync1exp7 and anything it depends on.
3) Install the massive build dependencies
Go into the binary-meta/depscripts directory and run the
./ubuntu-natty.sh script as root. This installs all the build
dependencies you'll need to build everything.
This is just a script that runs apt-get install, as well as
Barry's dependency list, which also runs apt-get install.
So you can edit these files to suit your system if you need to.
4) Build binary packages for your system
Go into the binary-meta root directory and run:
make debian-all
You do not need to be root to build these packages.
The resulting packages will be under the debian/ directory.
5) Install the deb packages of your choice, and enjoy. You can install either
opensync 0.2x or 0.4x.
Not all the opensync plugins are supported in binary-meta yet, but file-sync,
evolution2, kdepim (0.2x), and Barry are there, and I consider them
reliable. Still in development is adkonadi-sync (0.4x), and google-calendar.
If you have questions, please let me know!
