Unfortunately I cannot really comment on this, because all my google contacts are merged with regular address book contacts. These merged contacts are synced with ownCloud.

Today I noticed that these merged contacts were split up again, but I don't know if this was a result of the first syncevolution sync or not (I was playing around with backups and stuff, so this might also be the reason). Anyway, after merging the contacts, they did not split up again.

I don't user other account types.

I'd be interested in a package of syncevolution with webdav support.

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.
