It does. I understood this as "SyncEngine doesn't notice new devices
once started", although could easily be wrong. If so, perhaps some
Reload() method (like on the bus daemon itself) would work, no?

Given the huge amount of layers involved in simply syncing your phone
or looking at its filesystem, it's not /so/ surprising that SynCE is
getting blamed when it shouldn't! It's quite confusing really; I used
to understand what was going on, but have quickly forgotten!

No. It appeared after I stopped using SynCE and didn't want to take on
another package I wasn't using. An RFP was filed which no-one has
answered yet[0].

...that GIO doesn't have? Like what? File bugs!

Well, actually, I updated all the SynCE packages in Debian a few days
ago so everything's up-to-date, but it would be nice to have a
maintainer who actually knows what's going on.

I'd be more than happy for you to adopt the packages, if you want? To
get upload rights you need to apply to NM[1] which can take months and
you have to prove previous participation in Debian, etc. Before that,
you must get packages you want uploaded "sponsored" by an existing
DD. Of course, I'd be more than happy to sponsor any uploads you want
done -- just drop me a line on jo...@debian.org

So, at the moment, I'm keeping all my packaging in Git[2] and using
the git-buildpackage tool which I find really nifty. I would obviously
recommend this too, but really don't mind what you do. If you want to
give it a shot, just clone my repos. Otherwise you can download the
existing packages in the archive, and go from there. Once you're done
with a package, upload it somewhere and send me a link to the dsc and
I'll take a look!

Thanks for taking this on; I've been meaning to get this into better
hands for a while!
