Barry

Barry is an application suite for interfacing with the RIM BlackBerry Handheld. It comes with command line tools for exploring and managing the device, and a GUI for making quick backups. This project's goal is to create an easy to use desktop experience and fully functional syncing mechanism on Linux, BSD/Mac, and others, based on its portable C++ library.

Hello: It seems that Barry Desktop is all but dead. Quite unfortunate as there are no alternatives available that I know of. --- From: Chris Frey <cdfrey@fo...> - 2016-08-02 20:28:03 Hi, Unfortunately there are no plans to update the binary packaging available on Sourceforge at this time. The packages that are there are pretty old, and are only there for historical reasons. Also, Barry has been removed from Debian unstable due to lack of upstream and Debian maintenance (I was the main guy for both and just didn't have the time). So this means that future Ubuntu and Mint distros are unlikely to have Barry either, even without opensync support. - Chris --- Fedora users are luckier ...

Is there a RHEL/Fedora port? Git download doesn't work.

Using Barry under Fedora 16, it does perfectly its job to backup and restore data. I just wish to have in a future release a feature to export address book to odt or csv format from GUI.
