I'm also really interested, since I also have an owncloud instance, and it would be really neat to also be able to sync my n9's contacts with it

I don't know where to upload the syncevlolution package... Hope ul.to is fine with you guys.

The following package is based on the source from Ovek (http://people.debian.org/~ovek/harmattan/). I just enabled dav support!
syncevolution_1.2.2-1_armel.deb... http://ul.to/j5wwxjd7

I did the following steps to sync with ownCloud 4.0.4. I don't know if there's a better way to configure syncevolution, but at least it seems to work .

DISCLAIMER / WARNING:
You shoud first create a backup of your N9 calendar and addressbook!!! Don't blame me if you loose your data.

MYNAME = ownCloud login name
MYPASS = ownCLoud password
MY.DOMAIN.TLD = domainname
@owncloud = identifier (maybe replaced with some other name. Important is that it is consistent within the whole configuration!)

If you are using ssl access with a selfsigned certificate, you'll have to use the following code instead:
CALDAV sync:
https vs. http = change this according to the URL you are using
CALNAME = Name of your ownCloud calendar.
mycalendar = identifier for this caldav sync.

Don't enter any credentials! username/password must be empty.
owncloud = identifier...

N9calendar = calendarname of your N9 (empty for default calendar!)

First sync [only first sync]:
Later on you should remove "--sync slow":

CARDDAV sync:

https vs. http = change this according to the URL you are using
ADDNAME = Name of ownCloud calendar
myaddressbook = identifier

This can be skipped if done already for caldav sync:
Don't enter any credentials! username/password must be empty.
owncloud = identifier...

First sync [only first sync]:
Later on you should remove "--sync slow":

Hope that helps... (sorry for the bad text/layout structure, but I'm running out of time atm). Maybe someone else wants to put this in a proper wiki.

This worked beautifully. Thank you.

Thanks a bunch for recompiling/packaging syncevolution! I had actually just a few hours ago written to Ovek to try to persuade him to do the same :-P

Worked like a charm. I used the settings I had posted on http://tanghus.net/2012/07/syncing-y...oud-an-update/ and just omitted the local database definitions.

Would you mind if I host the package on my site? ul.to is so very annoying to wait for I will probably make an update for my post once I figure out how to integrate the syncing without having to go command line.

/Tanghus

tanghus, feel free to host the package on your site. I agree that ul.to isn't the best place.

Great, thanks :-) You wouldn't happen to have a source package as well? I got a reply from Ovek, saying that it needed some dependencies that was difficult to resolve at the time he made the package.

Only change I did to the source package is enabling dav support (configure statement in debian/rules).

The important thing is to compile libneon first. I just took the libneon source, compiled and installed it (only in scratchbox). That's all. No code changes necessary.

Very nice! Are some fiddling I got it working with owncloud. I would like to know if there is a gui (or maybe interval) to initiate the syncing.

The n900 version seems to have a gui, but I am unable to find one on the N9.

Hi all
How is your expirience with the OwnCloude cardDAV sync via syncevolutionon the N9?
I am trying to move from my google account to my OwnCloud server.
CalDAV works great with the built in CalDAV.

I once wrote the syncevolution GUI (http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?...4&postcount=12) but stopped using/developing it because it took far to long to sync (5 minutes for 300 contacts).

Since my tests with syncevolution 1.3 and my owncloud installation worked good, I decided to give an update to my GUI.
See http://www.ruinelli.ch/harmattan/syncevolution-gui for more information.

Let me know what you think about it.
If enought people want to use it, I might also add some adjustable settings.
