Attached is an ebuild for the "developer" release 0.10.99 of pilot-link. I've only tried this on my machine. This version allows the newer USB Palm cradles to work.
Created attachment 686 [details] pilot-link-0.10.99.ebuild
One thing I forgot: this version breaks gnome-pilot. When I was testing this, I applied the patch from http://primates.ximian.com/~jpr/ for gnome-pilot to Gentoo's 0.1.64-r2 and it would work (Evolution would sync). It seems that a new ebuild has been added since (0.1.65), however, I haven't tried getting it to work.
Brett, would this sort bug #1636?
Yesterday, I recompiled Evolution (had 1.0.3-r4, but r6 was out) and the EAddress conduit worked. I don't think this has anything to do with pilot-link or gnome-pilot, because the EAddress conduit wouldn't work for me with the 'r4' version (same problem as bug #1636), but does with the 'r6'.
Brent, first my apologies for the typo in your name in my last comment. does the new gnome-pilot need to be patched then?

Yes, the new gnome-pilot needs patched--but I don't have a patch for it. I have attached two files. One is the patch for the older 0.1.64 version of gnome-pilot and the second is the ebuild that applies the patch.
Sorry about the attachment names (I'm new to using bugzilla), the file names should be gnome-pilot-0.1.64-jpr.diff and gnome-pilot-0.1.64-r3.ebuild, respectfully.
Brent, OK, we have a gnome-pilot-0.65 in portage. And I found a patch on the URL you sent for that release. I have added the pilot-link ebuild you sent to portage, but it has been masked. The reason for that is that the previous ebuild had a patch for gcc-3, and I would like to have some gcc3 testing done on this. Meanwhile, since you have been using this for a few weeks, how is the stability as compared to the old pilot-link?
Seemant: I haven't used pilot-link extensively. I currently dual boot with Mandrake and use Gentoo as my "experiment" domain. I've been too busy the past couple of weeks to do much with either, so I can't say with certainty that it is stable (I haven't tried the old pilot-link because I don't have a serial link cable, only usb). I do believe it is much more stable that gnome-pilot, which didn't always work perfect (the daemon). Sorry I can't help much right now.
unmasking. Thanks for the ebuild and patch, Brent
