Package: libmultisync-plugin-evolution Version: 0.82-5 Severity: important Tags: patch
Evolution 2 generates vcard version 3.0 address book records, some phones synced with syncml do not support this, but mulitsync does not convert to version 2.1 (or whatever the phone advertises as supported). This problem could be resolved in multisync, libmultisync-plugin-evolution or libmultisync-plugin-syncml. It turns out that vcard v2.1 and v3.0 are very similar and at least for my addressbook, converting between the two is simply a matter of changing the version number. This is not a great solution as it will fall over when or if evolution generates a v3.0 feature that my phone does not understand. The authors of multisync are working on a major refactoring (libopensync) which will allow an elegant solution to this problem. In the meantime I have created a nasty hack which may or may not be of interest.
