Hello!

Sorry for the late reply. I postponed replying because it didn't seem
urgent, but it shouldn't have taken that long.

I looked into that. However, there's one complication: each time I build
a new syncevolution-activesync, I also build a new activesyncd, giving
me a new version for it because (at least at the moment) the source is
taken from untagged git and includes a date to make the build unique.

But I don't always publish the new activesyncd binaries; I only do that
when something really changed. Embedding the version number with date
would force me to always publish activesynd. Or I could drop the date,
but then I have problems ensuring increasing version numbers.

One possible improvement would be to have syncevolution-activesync-saucy
depend on the activesyncd meta package, and have versioned dependencies
on activesyncd-saucy in that.

So one could do "apt-get install activesyncd syncevolution-activesync"
and that should install the latest versions of everything, regardless of
the distro.

Have you looked into this?
