Re: [Evolution-hackers] contacts sync from eds to idevice.

[Timothy Ward <gtwa001 gmail com>]

Hi Milan,

Thanks shall have a look at syncevolution site did not know it
existed.

The updated gtk3 eds-to-idevice code is on github at

https://github.com/gitsop01/eds-to-idevice

It is a one-way sync at the moment and the eds address book functions
used are not using the async functions at the moment.

It dependencies libraries are all available on fedora 3.20
and uses autotools to build at the moment, but could be changed to
cmake.

If used with iOS 9 or 10 libimobiledevice library will have to
compiled from the lastest git head on github, using Openssl 1.0.2h not
sure if it work with the latest Openssl 1.10 in fedora rawhide.


Any advise on the idea or code or what would be required to
have it included in eds as a sync backend to an idevice would be
appreciated.

Regards

Timothy Ward
