hey folks!

happy new year! :wink:

since i have a googlemail account, i would be happy to have my gentoo box next to my iphone beeing able to sync my google contacts. after some research, i tripped over googledata for akonadi. but it doesn't seem to be in portage as well as it's dependance libgcal.

where can i find it and how can i install it?

will it hit portage in the near future (i'm not a big fan of overlays...)?

many thanks in advance!

alex

Both libgcal and googledata have existing ebuilds among their bugs at bugs.gentoo.org

I set up my box to work with this this morning. No problem emerging them.
Played with it a while today and found that it's not exactly free from bugs.
Unstable connection, slow update of the calendar and contacts - probably at google's side.

Even though there are alot of things to go thru once again, this is a good start for the googledata akonadi resource that acctually works.

Both googledata and libgcal are in the kde overlay. I use them and they work but still have fairly basic abilities. They're also not being updated all that much.

so let's hope there will be some progress soon. this would be really a big step further to move linux out of the pit of exile...
