I can't speak for the current state of the distro packages - I try not
to get too involved in packaging and there are others on this list who
may be more up to date than I am with the state of distro packages.
However, if you check out the latest sync-engine from SVN you no longer
need to have the following packages installed to run it:
libwbxml2
pywbxml
so you do not need to compile or install pywbxml or any of the libwbxml
providers. Sync-engine now has its own internal wbxml implementation.
