I don't think that 0.22 is useful for anything especially for me with 3-4 different phones and KDE in the past few years ... If someone is using this really for syncing mobiles then please let me know what kind of phone (vendor, model) are you using and how you are doing it?

Time ago when I asked about it, someone told me, he is doing one way sync ??! It's too long to explain, but well, so doesn't matter what comes shipped it's not working and it will most probably not work at least for me. That's why I decided to have at least a look into the code and see why?!

I've checked now squeez and there is no opensync in there. It means that there will be no opensync in next stable as sid is frozen for some time now

In sid there is 0.39 and 0.22. My goal is to help porting testing documenting whatever needed to get it somehow working and useful for/in the next debian life cycle.

It can not be considered working until it can sync contact/calendar/event and todos with most widly used phones ... i.e. syncml

So as for debian you better push 0.4X to go into sid NOW, as it will become very soon testing.
