$datadir/libopensync1/capabilities/

e.g. /usr/local/share/libopensync1/capabilities/



There is also a CMake variable you use to install to the correct path: 
${OPENSYNC_CAPABILITIESDIR}

e.g. ${OPENSYNC_CAPABILITIESDIR}/mozilla-sync.xml


Beside this capabilities file, you need also to write a "description" file 
which points/refers the filename of your capabilities file (e.g. mozilla-
sync.xml)

Example of such a descriptino file is:
trunk/misc/descriptions/syncml-nokia.xml

-----8<-----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<versions version="0.1">
        <version>
                <PlugIn>SyncML</PlugIn>
                <Priority>100</Priority>
                <Vendor>Nokia</Vendor>
                <ModelVersion>7650</ModelVersion>
                <FirmwareVersion></FirmwareVersion>
                <SoftwareVersion></SoftwareVersion>
                <HardwareVersion></HardwareVersion>
                <Identifier>syncml-nokia-7650.xml</Identifier>
        </version>
</versions>
----->8-----

In your case:

-----8<-----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<versions version="0.1">
        <version>
                <PlugIn>mozilla-sync</PlugIn>
                <Priority>100</Priority>
                <Vendor>Nokia</Vendor>
                <ModelVersion></ModelVersion>
                <FirmwareVersion></FirmwareVersion>
                <SoftwareVersion></SoftwareVersion>
                <HardwareVersion></HardwareVersion>
                <Identifier>mozilla-sync.xml</Identifier>
        </version>
</versions>
------>8----

Note that <Identifier> needs to be the filename (not the path!) of the 
capabilities xml file.

place this as ... (again a cmake variable is available): 
${OPENSYNC_DESCRIPTIONSDIR}/mozilla-sync.xml


there are even cmake macros to install the description and capabilites file

OPENSYNC_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTIONS( mozilla-sync-desc.xml )
OPENSYNC_PLUGIN_CAPABILITIES( mozilla-sync-caps.xml )

[...]

the XML schema for capabities can be found here:
 https://svn.opensync.org/trunk/misc/schemas/capabilities.xsd

So its

<Caps><ObjType ...><Cap>...</Cap></ObjType></Caps>


Further questions?
