Description Xavier Hourcade 2012-02-08 19:25:49 UTC
Description of problem:

Current syncevolution rpm is built with akonadi: no
Akonadi support might fill a gap in current kdepim feature set
(cf. mobile phone sync)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

syncevolution-1.2-2.fc16
syncevolution-1.2.1-1.fc17

Additional info:

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/syncevolution/1.2/2.fc16/data/logs/x86_64/build.log
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/syncevolution/1.2.1/1.fc17/data/logs/i686/build.log

N.B. library syncakonadi.so seems to be included in built process (despite current flag ?)

Thanks,

Triaged to syncevolution component, that's where the request to change behavior is, right?

Comment 2 Xavier Hourcade 2012-02-08 20:55:55 UTC
For sure - apologize for the overhead
(considering replacing my eyes, they lack consistency).

Comment 3 Xavier Hourcade 2012-02-14 02:28:42 UTC

Comment 4 Jaroslav Reznik 2012-02-20 08:40:14 UTC
As I know, it's still only experimental support (you can see it in the mail above too) and not very well maintained in upstream, but I think, let's try it. We can help with package maintenance.

Comment 5 Xavier Hourcade 2012-02-20 16:54:48 UTC
Yes, upstream source isn't entirely ready, this was my point, but they are willing to progress and it could be interesting to accompany their effort (given the small number of alternatives to obtain this functionality).

From my standalone mobile sync attempts so far, SyncEvolution binary package (as yet available in Fedora stable repo) could deal fine with some mobile phone info (contacts, todos/calendar and notes) and Evolution.

OTOH, I wish we had something like an "akanadi-gammu" agent in Fedora (?): using Wammu from Nijel [1], I could easily access much more over OBEX (the above + SMS folders, Call histories, distinct folders for Contact from SIM and phone).
No sync feature is provided (only conversions via gammu) but it seems to come with an IMAP export feature too (for SMS only, didn't test it so far).

Comment 6 Peter Robinson 2012-02-20 17:18:52 UTC
The reason I hadn't enabled this previously is due to it being very rough around the edges and upstream didn't recommend it.

Comment 7 Xavier Hourcade 2012-03-15 20:29:22 UTC
Significant progress upstream over the past weeks, pre-releases available :

It doesn't seem to indicate whether the support is able to be enabled along side all our existing supported options

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 16:53:06 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 10 Kevin Kofler 2013-01-16 20:45:49 UTC
Still current.

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 17:00:22 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 12 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2014-06-12 10:38:32 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 13 Milan Crha 2014-06-27 13:12:19 UTC
I enabled the Akonadi and pbap backends in syncevolution-1.4.1-4.fc21, together with GNOME Bluetooth panel plugin. The Akonadi backend is packages separately, in syncevolution-libs-akonadi, to not bring in KDE/Qt dependencies which are not needed.

Comment 14 Milan Crha 2014-06-27 13:46:45 UTC

> together with GNOME Bluetooth panel plugin

Oh, well, no. The gnome-bluetooth 3.12.x has this API gone, thus I disabled it again. The rest of the comment #13 applies unchanged.
