If the current version is in the tree, then most of the overlay can be removed, with perhaps the exception of synce-kpm and synce-gnome. I won't be around the next couple of weekends but I'm happy to respond to emails when I can, if I can help. -- Iain Buchanan

Just by pulling synce-sync-engine as well as synce-connector the deps should get pulled in -> No need for a meta package. The overlay was, when I last checked entirely uncompatible with the packages in tree as well as has confusing amount of deprecated ebuilds. I would love if someone could wipe it clean so people stop accidentally shooting themself in the foot with it. I'll add the synce-trayicon to tree soon as upstream produces a HAL-free version of it... And it's up the KDE team to add the KDE bits if they want.
[gentoo-dev] no more time for SynCE
Hi, Since I posted about looking for help[1] I'm sad to say I've barely touched SynCE. Family commitments have changed, and I'm studying again for the degree I started 10 years ago! I'm therefore asking to be removed as the proxy for Synce. Hopefully this means it won't die in Gentoo :) Massive thanks to everyone who helped with my bad ebuild programming and testing along the way - volker, mescalinum, ssuominen, the SynCE team and everyone else. The original testing overlay remains here[2] for anyone who wants to take it over, just contact the SynCE dev team. If there are any questions please cc me directly as I may not be on the -dev list much more. [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/69230 [2] https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/dist/gentoo many thanks! -- Iain Buchanan
