Looks right.

I need to check this. I'm in the middle of an extensive code rewrite, so
it might take until Monday or Tuesday.

SyncEvolution itself can only be an OBEX client/SyncML server (yes, the
roles are reversed depending on the level in the stack). That's
typically the laptop/desktop side, which initiates a connection to a
mobile device (thus acts as OBEX client).

This is what obex+bt in the syncURL configures. It uses libopenobex, no
need for obexd.

obexd needs to run on the N9. It must be invoked with a --syncevolution
option (or something like it, I don't remember the details). Then it'll
start syncevo-dbus-server via D-Bus to do actual syncs whenever someone
connects to obexd and asks for a SyncML session.

The syncevo-http-server uses the same D-Bus interface, so the actual
SyncEvolution code is well-tested, just not in combination with obexd.
It was meant to go into handheld devices, but as it happened,
SyncEvolution never actually was used for such devices. Nokia preferred
to stay with their own solution.

I wouldn't call it production ready, although it has been around for a
while. The main problem is that I never got around to put it into
syncevolution.org binaries and the nightly testing. Partly this is
general lack of time, partly fear that if I enable it, I'll end up with
bugs that I cannot deal with unless some KDE developers are ready to
help.

It's still on the agenda for SyncEvolution 1.3.
