Howdi,

I spent a few hours this afternoon fighting with akonadi,
eventually just shifting it across to my basic mysql instance
(if anyone wants to do this - avoid all the 'edit the ...' file
tutorials on the net, and do it via the very simple menu'd
K | Applications | Utilities | Akonaditray applet - you'll still
need to set up your DB manually, but it gives you the code
snippet to do that too. Noice!)

Anyhoo - my question.

I discovered what is possibly going to be one of the more
compelling reasons for all this akonadi pain - the ability
to sync easily with google calendar (etc) resources.

There's a nice blog / tutorial here:
http://blog.trumpton.org.uk/2010/02/kontact-gmail-sync-with-akonadi.html

So the question is a two-parter -
1. Is it relatively easy / painless / won't break new packages
if I go and hunt down how to get these extra things into
the pre-experimental 4.4 system I'm running, and/or
2. Are they likely to be in subsequent 4.4.x packages?

taa,
Jedd.

Sorry, but I'm not following you here. What in particular do you refer to with
"these extra things" and "they"?

Hi Modestas,

If you look at the picture on that link:

... there's a 'Akonadi Google Calendar Resource' shown (and
another for Google Contacts).

These are the 'extra things' to which I refer.

Unless I'm meant to be seeing them in my qt-kde.d.o 4.4.1 SC install.
In which case ... guess what my next question will be.

Jedd.
