So this isn't something Evolution specific, just some generic file synchronization? Then how does it handle merging of files which have been changed on both machines, like for example the contact database file when different contacts were added? Disclaimer: I have worked on PIM synchronization via SyncML for over three years (SyncEvolution). Synchronization is *hard* to get right. I find it annoying when projects are touted as a solution when in reality they haven't implemented the necessary parts, are not stable and/or don't address the hard problems at all. Just my two cents. I haven't tried Conduit. I'm sure it's a fine program, it just doesn't sound like it really does two-way synchronization of data that is stored differently on different sides and can be changed independently at the same time. Back to the topic: I have synchronized Evolution data from one machine to another via rsync. Any other means of moving the files would also work *as long* as one is careful to only work on one machine at a time and moves the data when switching machines. However, the Evolution developers make no guarantee that the on-disk format of files remains the same between different versions of Evolution. The supported method is extracting the data via the APIs, storing it in a standard format and reimporting it. -- Bye, Patrick Ohly -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.estamos.de/ _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
