then just leave it out.

There are no requirements since it's not going into the default
install (yet), what I'm saying is that if you put 0.2x in the
repositories then you need to make sure you put libbarry there too, if
you put 0.3x in then you need to make sure libbarry-opensync isn't.
Just consider making the right plugin packages available for the
version.

No, progress is stalled, not going anywhere.

Heh yea, most of them I wouldn't consider anything more than bad
copies of palm desktop instead of useful gui's; the only gui moving
away from the old ways is conduit which has opensync support in
development but again it's not being pushed.

I won't be able to go I'm not allowed to leave the USA for another
year. But I will be on the phone.
