SyncEvolution 1.5.1 released — SyncEvolution documentation
Summary
• None WebDAV: send Basic Auth via http in some cases (FDO #57248) It turned out that finding databases on an Apple Calendar server accessed via http depends on sending Basic Auth even when the server does not ask for it: without authentication, there is no information about the current principal, which is necessary for finding the user’s databases. To make this work again, sending the authentication header is now forced for plain http if (and only if) the request which should have returned the principal URL fails to include it. The sync format of existing configurations for Mobical (aka Everdroid) must be updated manually, because the server has encoding problems when using vCard 3.0 (now the default for Evolution contacts): syncevolution –configure \ syncFormat=text/x-vcard \ mobical addressbook The Funambol template explicitly enables usage of the “refresh-from-server” sync mode to avoid getting throttled with 417 ‘retry later’ errors. Add the following entry to your /apt/source.list: The GPG key for the repository needs to be imported as root with: Then install “syncevolution-evolution”, “syncevolution-kde” and/or “syncevolution-activesync”. Older distributions like Debian 4.0 (Etch) can no longer be supported with precompiled binaries because of missing libraries, but the source still compiles when not enabling the GUI (the default).
