what happened to KPILOT in KDEPIM-3.5.6 (Fedora 6 update) ?

[Marcello M. Pavan]

Greetings

KPILOT has been a staple app of mine for some time to sync my treo 650 with 
Kontact.   But suddenly is disappeared from the latest KDEPIM-3.5.6 in the 
last Fedora Core 6 update (accesed via Yum).

can anyone tell me what is going on ?  an exhaustive web search (including 
Fedora forums and mailing lists) has yielded nothing so far.

your help is much appreciated, and very much required.  life is tougher 
without my Treo and Kontact in sync ...

cheers,
marcello

A bug?  An oversight?

More details would help,
$ rpm -q kdelibs kdepim

Turns out kdepim-3.5.6 requires pilot-link-0.12, and FC-6 has (only)
pilot-link-0.11.

Grr...

Sure it *could* be done, but it would be painful.  There's lot of
existing apps in FC-6 that link against pilot-link-0.11, that would need
(at least) rebuilding.

In the gnome-pilot codebase we support both p-l 0.11.8 and 0.12.x.
Might be worth mailing the fedora kdepim/kpilot maintainer and request
they add backwards compatibility to kpilot if it isn't there already.

Mind you, pilot-link 0.12.x is stable enough now that it could be pushed
to fc6 (requires an update of gnome-pilot and evolution).  The most
recent gp/evolution releases support both 0.11.8 and 0.12.x out of the
box.

Thanks for all the notes on this. I just got bit by it
as well . While the following is presumably obvious, I'll
post it in case is might be useful. I went to the Fedora
site and downloaded the older versions of kdepim:

kdepim-3.5.5-0.2.fc6.i386.rpm
kdepim-devel-3.5.5-0.2.fc6.i386.rpm
kdeaddons-3.5.5-0.1.fc6.i386.rpm

I then removed the above packages from the new updates

rpm -e kdepim kdepim-devel kdeaddons

and installed the older versions.

rpm -ivh kdepim-3.5.5-0.2.fc6.i386.rpm
kdepim-devel-3.5.5-0.2.fc6.i386.rpm kdeaddons-3.5.5-0.1.fc6.i386.rpm

I now appear to have kpilot back as part of kontact

I'll just have to be careful about letting pup update kde
for a while.

I tried the above but there are way too many dependancies including evolution 
and related RPM's that I would have to remove. I remember that the older 
versions of evolution had lots of issues anyway. Is there a way around this? 
Is there some other way to get Kpilot back? Will it return in FC7?

Kpilot is/will-be in F7. (It's just that kdepim >= 3.5.6 requires
pilot-link >= 0.12 for kpilot support).
