Yes, it took a bit of work though ;)

I found some debian packages for multisync 0.82, but they didn't have the
evo2 plugin. I did some debian/rules munging to come up with packages that
work on hoary and let me sync evo with my phone via bluetooth and
yesterday I got it syncing contacts with my iPAQ via synce (although it is
ignoring the calendar at the moment).

I have to admit that I don't recall the exact steps to make the packages
build correctly, but I do remember having to at least modify the
debian/rules to build the evo2 plugin and not the evo one.

I could probably reproduce the steps without too much hassle if that would
be helpful? I hope someone is working on getting multisync into hoary
anyway, otherwise I'd have documented what I did.

(is -users the right place for talk of packages that aren't in hoary yet?)

Cheerio,
