Hi Patrick, Yves-Alexis;

Thanks for the new information.  Here is where the  packaging stands for me

  - packaging libfunambol client stack is done, although not
tested 
  - I got stalled on syncevolution with some problems related to libfunambol 
not 
being built in the same tree.
  - syncevolution has slipped down my packaging queue behind other stuff
more related to $REAL_JOB, but I haven't given up on it.

I do wonder if there is enough other motivation to put the funambol
stack into debian if it is not going to be used by syncevolution.  If
not, then we should make the leap to 0.9 beta 1; probably all the
kinks will be worked out by the next Debian release.

SyncEvolution just announced they switched to the newly re-released
libsynthesis, which is LGPLv2/v3.

See:

http://lwn.net/Articles/333059/
http://www.synthesis.ch/indefero/index.php/p/libsynthesis/
http://www.estamos.de/blog/2009/05/13/syncevolution-09-beta-1-full-time-project-using-synthesis-syncml-engine/

It's only a beta for now and I'm not sure if it still requires all the
funambol stack, but that looks good especially for the direct
device-to-device connections.

Cheers,

0.9 beta 1 doesn't require anything from Funambol. Everything is
dual-licensed LGPLv2.1/3.0.

Bug#404942: Status?

2009-02-18 Thread David Bremner

Following up to myself, my plan (which has been delayed 
by other commitments) is to package the funambol client 
library seperately, but using a version suitable for 
syncevolution.  You can follow that at 

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505878

Or you could, if I did anything :-).

As I said in my last message, I think the AGPL issues discussed in
that thread (short of something like a GR to overide the ftpmasters)
can be consider closed.

So in particular, if someone wants to help push this forward, I can
make what I have for libfunambol available on collab-maint.

All the best,

David
