I've been hunting for a while for a good way to keep my address book and calendar synchronized between my desktop and laptop (both running Evolution on Debian Testing). I've tried a variety of things, and nothing seems to work well yet. I've looked in to using a groupware system such as OGo, but that seems quite heavyweight and difficult to set up (those packages seem to want to have a dedicated system or some such). I would try Unison, but the fact that e-d-s is always running and doesn't seem to be able to pick up changes made to its files outside itself, combined with the single-file nature of its storage files, seem to render that option not viable.
I've tried using opensync to sync to a directory of files, synchronize that with unison, and then opensync again to finish propagating changes. That didn't seem to copy changes reliably. I've also tried SyncEvolution and ScheduleWorld, but that continually wrecked my evolution address book displays as it stripped all evolution custom data from the vcard's and Evolution was therefore unhappy. I am trying to look in to OpenSync again now that it's released 0.19, but I'm not sure what I'll find. I've also done just a little hacking on an address book backend that stores entries as separated VCF files in a directory, a la maildirs, but haven't made a whole lot of progress on that front. Any recommendations for a good, easy single-user mechanism for keeping this data in sync?
