I tried to do this a while ago (probably a little over a year) but never got anywhere as there was too much to learn for me. With learning RPM and the OBS And finally having to move back to windows for work related reasons - things got a little silly. I'm glad that it has finally been accomplished but I would question the need for kitchen sync in the repo (and granted this is out of date knowledge) because afaik all you need to do is copy a plugin to the right location. Surely this can be accomplished without need for another, almost identical, instance of kitchensync in the OBS that isn't 100% OpenSuSE approved.
The whole ethos of linux is to provide an real alternative to windows. Having multiple versions of the same program with only finite differences is really not the way to go. I plead with you to seriously evaluate the need for a specific kitchensync build And instead go with some really well written wiki instructions. Not spoiling for a fight, honest :) M3PH P.s. sorry to adam for sending this mail to him privately. Only noticed as it was going out ;) -----Original Message----- From: Adam Williamson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 November 2008 19:45 To: Tejas Guruswamy Cc: synce-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: OpenSUSE SynCE RPM Repository On Thu, 2008-11-27 at 19:28 +0000, Tejas Guruswamy wrote: > Adam Williamson wrote: > > > > The thing is, KitchenSync is just a front end, like msynctool.

I suspect everyone is working away in separate sealed compartments, here :\. I'll have to test it out. -- adamw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ SynCE-Devel mailing list SynCE-Devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/synce-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ SynCE-Devel mailing list SynCE-Devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/synce-devel
