I'm afraid I still don't get it :-)
There are Ubuntu users who download and install binaries from
syncevolution.org, typically because these binaries are more recent than
the version they get from their current distro.
I see that as a service for users and a way to get testing in advance of
inclusion in a distro.
I can't compile SyncEvolution n times for different distros, that would
be too much work. Instead I try to provide archives that work across a
wide range of distros, usually by compiling on an old distro. But that
limits what kind of features I can enable.
It looks like enabling Ubuntu Online Accounts in these binaries will not
be easy, so I'll probably not do it.
