Description jdm 2002-04-22 17:18:14 UTC
coldsync (http://www.coldsync.org/) is a program for syncing palm devices that's
a lot more flexible and "unixy" than pilot-link.  It's got a perl interface for
writing conduits and is easy to configure.

I'd suggest either app-misc/coldsync or dev-libs/coldsync since that's where
jpilot and pilot-link currently are.

uh, i just tried attaching the ebuild, but got an error saying that no file was
attached or it was empty.  got the same error both with mozilla and netscape
4.78.  the file definitely isn't empty.  it's available at
http://www.europa.com/~jdm/coldsync-2.2.5.ebuild

jdm, do we need ebuilds for the conduits as well? http://www.coldsync.org/conduits/

If so, they require the p5-palm perl module.  

If they do, would you write up an ebuild (or does it need to be several?) as well?
Comment 3 jdm 2002-05-29 17:29:23 UTC
coldsync itself doesn't require the conduits or p5-palm.  they'll have a
depedency on coldsync though.

all of them require the user to edit their .coldsyncrc in order to configure
them, and some require a little tweaking to get them to do what you want.

i'll write up an ebuild for the p5-palm perl modules and look at making one for
some of the conduits.

Hmmm, somehow I completely missed this one.  Sorry about that!

In any event, it's been in portage since the end of May.
