Hi all, After several days of work I could get my WM6 PDA/phone synced against mail-client/evolution. I think it would be great to have the ebuilds for opensync 0.22 updated so it becomes a matter of just emerging packages for others. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to emerge whatever combination of synce and opensync packages 2. there is no way to come to a syncable system 3. Actual Results: It's not possible to sync PDA <=> PC Expected Results: A set of packages to sync the PDA and the PC should be installed (with no patching required and the least configuration possible) Everything is documented at http://www.opensync.org/wiki/download#GentooPackages but in short: SYNCE: Download the latest synce ebuilds: wget -nv -m -erobots=off -R "index.html,synce-wm5-layman.xml,manifest1_obsolete" -np -nH --cut-dirs=4 -P /usr/local/portage/ http://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/dist/gentoo/ 2>&1 | grep -v index.html and sync your system: emerge --sync Edit /etc/portage/package.mask adding this: =app-pda/synce-sync-engine-9999 >=app-pda/libopensync-0.30 >=app-pda/libopensync-plugin-python-0.30 >=app-pda/libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.30 >=app-pda/msynctool-0.30 and /etc/portage/package.use adding: app-pda/synce syncengine usb wininstallers app-pda/multisync evo The package we need to install is synce-sync-engine, checking what gets pulled in by it we get: [ebuild N ] dev-python/pyrex-0.9.8.4 USE="-examples" [ebuild N ] dev-libs/check-0.9.5 [ebuild N ] dev-python/pyxml-0.8.4-r1 USE="-doc -examples" [ebuild N ] dev-python/pygobject-2.14.2 USE="-X -debug -doc -examples -libffi" [ebuild N ] app-pda/libopensync-0.22 USE="python -debug -doc" [ebuild N ] dev-libs/libmimedir-0.4 [ebuild N ] net-libs/gnet-2.0.8 USE="-debug -doc -test" [ebuild N ] app-pda/synce-libsynce-0.11.1 USE="hal -desktop" [ebuild N ] app-pda/synce-librtfcomp-1.1 [ebuild N ] dev-python/dbus-python-0.82.4 USE="-test" [ebuild N ] app-pda/libopensync-plugin-python-0.22 [ebuild N ] app-pda/synce-librapi2-0.11.1 [ebuild N ] app-pda/synce-odccm-0.11.1 [ebuild N ] app-pda/synce-librra-0.11.1 [ebuild N ] app-pda/synce-sync-engine-0.11.1 but as librra doesn't compile because of an error related to pyrra.pyx, we need to have its patch and edit its ebuild to include it mkdir -p /var/tmp/SynCE cd /var/tmp/SynCE wget http://www.opensync.org/attachment/wiki/download/pyrra.pyx.patch Edit the ebuild: vi /usr/local/portage/app-pda/synce-librra/synce-librra-0.11.1.ebuild adding these lines: src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd "${S}/python" epatch /var/tmp/SynCE/pyrra.pyx.patch } ebuild it: ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-pda/synce-librra/synce-librra-0.11.1.ebuild digest We are now ready to install sync-engine: emerge -q synce-sync-engine It's better to add some dependencies to the provided odccm initialization script, so: cd /etc/init.d rm ._cfg*_odccm wget http://www.opensync.org/attachment/wiki/download/odccm chmod +x odccm Start or restart odccm: /etc/init.d/odccm restart and add it to rc: rc-update add odccm default Connect the PDA. OPENSYNC: The first thing we have to do is to install msynctool: emerge -q msynctool The libopensync-plugin-synce plugin is masked out by the system but it's installed by app-pda/synce-sync-engine. So an ebuild should be created to just "copy" it (it doesn't need to be compiled though). We also need the libopensync-plugin-evolution ebuild: mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-pda/libopensync-plugin-evolution2 cd /usr/local/portage/app-pda/libopensync-plugin-evolution2 cp /usr/portage/app-pda/libopensync-plugin-evolution2/libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.22.ebuild . open it for edition: vi libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.22.ebuild add these lines into it: inherit eutils src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd "${S}" epatch /var/tmp/SynCE/libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.22.patch } and ebuild it: ebuild libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.22.ebuild digest Download this required patch: cd /var/tmp/SynCE wget http://www.opensync.org/attachment/wiki/download/libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.22.patch

(In reply to comment #3) > There is no package named app-pda/synce-sync-engine in the repository. Also to > which evolution version do you refer to? Hi, yes, that's what happens. The ebuild in the officil repository are obsolete and/or incomplete. Now, based on the procedure depicted on http://www.opensync.org/wiki/download#GentooPackages we could generate new and working ones for that repository. Evolution version doesn't matter that much, in fact, you can even ignore it as it stated there too. Only the file structure it creates on your disk is of use. Even though that, I've installed the latest official one in the repository, which is 2.22.3.1 (2.23.5 is available in some other non-official repos though) HTH, Rolando.
Hi guys, any update on this? Anything I can do?
peper - Perhaps this should be marked as a duplicate of Bug #178807 ? (In reply to comment #6) > Hi guys, > any update on this? Anything I can do? Roland, have you tried layman and the synce-0.12 packages? After choosing your USE flags, you should be able to "emerge and go"!
> Roland, have you tried layman and the synce-0.12 packages? After choosing > your USE flags, you should be able to "emerge and go"! No, but I remember above mentioned procedure was the only that worked for me (i tried installing several different combinations of the packages)
(In reply to comment #7) > Roland, have you tried layman and the synce-0.12 packages? After choosing > your USE flags, you should be able to "emerge and go"! Sorry for the delay, hadn't enough time to spend on it lastly. I just deleted all of my /usr/local/portage stuff and updated to 0.12. Will try to sync against my PDA as soon as I can.
works for me with sync-0.12 and opensync 0.22. This is really a duplicate of Bug #178807. Can be closed?
(In reply to comment #10) > works for me with sync-0.12 and opensync 0.22. > This is really a duplicate of Bug #178807. Can be closed? I'll be back home next week and hopefully will be able to check it, could you please wait one more week? Sorry for this inconvenience.
Sorry for so, so late response. I tried it after an "emerge --sync" and synce (the "connectivity" part) worked fine. BTW, I've it running through HAL now and it rocks!!! For the syncing part (opensync and its plugings) these got pulled in: msynctool 0.36 OpenSync 0.36 evo2-sync 0.36 synce-opensync-plugin 0.3x (pulled in by app-pda/synce-sync-engine as "/usr/lib/opensync-1.0/python-plugins/synce-opensync-plugin.py") but, as I supposed, it didn't work (0.3x is supposed to not to work fine for synce) Will try again later masking 0.3x to see what happens with 0.2x
Well... bad luck.

One more thing, is this correct (two synce plugins???): RJZ-LNX ~ # msynctool --listplugins Available plugins: testmodule synce-opensync-plugin evo2-sync synce-plugin
Yet another comment, shouldn't we configure the place where dhclient puts it info in "/usr/portage/app-pda/synce-hal/synce-hal-0.13.ebuild"? I mean, something like within it: src_compile() { econf --with-hal-addon-dir="/usr/$(get_libdir)/hal/scripts" --localstatedir="/var/run" || die emake || die } to avoid this: dhclient: can't create /var/lib/run/dhclient-synce-eth4.lease: No such file or directory and getting multiple instances of dhclient running when plugging/unpluging the PDA?

We *must* keep using synce-opensync-plugin as installed by app-pda/synce-sync-engine (from synce team).

I checked it and I think we should make this change into the portage's ebuild, I'm going to attach the patched ebuild now.
Created attachment 184112 [details] patched synce-hal-0.13.ebuild Patched ebuild to have dhclient use the correct Gentoo's directories. I'm also marking previous attachs as obsoleted since everything installs correctly now by just adding these lines into "/etc/portage/package.mask": >=app-pda/libopensync-plugin-python-0.30 >=app-pda/libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.30 >=app-pda/msynctool-0.30 Now, may be worth updating the ebuild (probably adding a block for opensync-0.3X's stuff on it too) so we can close this ticket and open a new one just for a error similar to the one of "Comment #13" I get with synce-0.13 and opensync-0.22?
Created attachment 184200 [details] patched synce-hal-0.13.ebuild
thanks Rolando. next time just attach patches against ebuild in portage tree: it saves space and it's easier to see the changes.
Closing it as most related packages have ebuilds for newer versions already.
