Agreed. > Maybe you could check what other projects depend on libwbxml and see if we > could work on a common cause? John Carr mentioned one, but it's basically nothing. For example, in Debian: salieri:~% apt-cache rdepends libwbxml2-0 libwbxml2-0 Reverse Depends: libwbxml2-utils libwbxml2-dev libwbxml2-0-dbg libsyncml0 libsyncml-utils > A couple of other options: > > 4.

Ha, MidaSync to the rescue again! Although that would be fairly cool, not only has a native pywbxml been started, but SyncEngine would need bindings to anything not in Python. I say that a native pywbxml is the way forward as then it can be thrown in the SyncEngine source and all we do is remove dependencies, not add them! \o/ Thanks, -- Jonny Lamb, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jonnylamb.com GPG: 0x2E039402
