Re: [Opensync-users] ERROR: Unable to find engine which can handle objtype data

[Peter H. <pe...@pd...>]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm using libopensync1exp7 from the Ubuntu 
repositories.

I've been worried about the low level of activity on opensync and wondering 
why? If the project is still alive and well I'd like to sync both contacts and 
events/calendar with KAddressBook and KOrganizer under Kontact. So if this is 
a realistic objective, yes please, fire away - stepping me through compiling 
from source. Thank you.

Peter
