Ubuntu – Syncing WM6 <-> Evolution… opensync-module-python missing

10.10evolutionsmartphonesync

I'm trying to install opensync-plugin-synce to sync my wm6 phone with Evolution, but when I try (from synaptic, also with ap-get), is:

Depende: opensync-module-python  but it is not installable

In fact, I haven't found opensync-module-python in repositories.

Any hint? Is there any way to sync WM6 and Evolution (preferably without intermediate online syncs as Gmail, for instance)?

Update: opensync-module-python exists in the repositories for previous versions of Ubuntu (mine is 10.10)…. could I install it from there or would I ruin something?

Update: should I mark this as impossible? Seems to be no way to sync WM6 phone with Evolution right now….

You can use the following PPA to overcome that problem, the missing package is in here..

I couldn't tell you if that is indeed the problem, as I don't own a palm device, but I can confirm by looking at evolution's build log that that flag was not passed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/512047/

If you'd like to try building evolution with that flag, here are some steps.

apt-get source evolution # Download the evolution source package
sudo apt-get build-dep evolution # Install all of evolution's build dependencies
sudo apt-get install devscripts # Tools for working with Debian packages
sudo apt-get install libgnome-pilot2-dev # Extra build dependency need for the "--with-pilot-conduits" flag.

Next, you want to edit the debian/rules file. Find the section that looks like:

DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS += \
    --with-openldap \
    --enable-nls \
    --disable-scrollkeeper \
    --disable-pilot-conduits \
    --with-krb5=/usr \
    --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --libexecdir=/usr/lib \
    --enable-plugins=experimental \
    --enable-python \
    --disable-pst-import \
    --disable-image-inline \
    --disable-contacts-map

And replace the --disable-pilot-conduits \ flag with --enable-pilot-conduits \

You'll probably want to bump the version number in debian/changelog as well. You can do that by hand, or run something like dch -v 2.30.3-1ubuntu6+pilot-build -m "Enable pilot-conduits"

Next, the line debian/tmp/usr/share/gnome-pilot must be added to the debian/evolution-common.install file and debian/tmp/usr/lib/evolution/2.30/conduits/*.so must be added to debian/evolution.install

Then you can build the package by running debuild from inside the evolution-2.30.3 directory. Finally, install the resulting debs.

ilias@E34G-SHF3:~$ sudo apt-cache search multisync

So it's not in the repository. You need to download the .DEB files and install them (trough software-center or Gdebi).
