OpenSync has a stable version 0.22, which is used on many distros, and which the Barry project plugin is apparently targeting. OpenSync development is ongoing on unstable versions 0.3x, targeting a stable version 0.40. Unfortunately, plugins are not compatible between 0.22 and 0.39. And blueZync is only for 0.39. I see too possible ways out here: (1) Get a barry plugin for OpenSync 0.39. I see that they have a branch for that at http://barry.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/barry/barry/opensync-plugin-0.4x/ However, it has not been worked on for more than half a year, so it will probably not work "out-of-the-box". But you may give it a try, and ask the nice people over at the barry project for help... (2) If barry supports SyncML, you may be able to use the syncml-plugin which DOES work with OpenSync 0.39, and which you already have installed alongside blueZync. /Henrik Oh yes, version management can be a real pain.
