Thanks a lot. I am considering including that in SyncEvolution 1.3.99.6
and also enable it when compiling binaries for download from
syncevolution.org.
I can enable GNOME Online Account support easily in these binaries. That
will work for Google CalDAV with GNOME >= 3.8 and Google CardDAV with
GNOME >= 3.10. But does Ubuntu still have the GNOME Online Accounts UI?
I noticed that Quantal has the packages, but I haven't tried to use
them.
Yes, GOA is packaged in Ubuntu and will be visible in the control
center, if you use the GNOME 3 session.
Enabling Ubuntu Online Accounts did not work immediately, because my
compile platform (Quantal) was too old. Would it be worthwhile to invest
more work into this?
No, I think that the only sensible thing to do is add the required
package versions in the configure.ac bits (I wrote the needed versions
in the bug report), and do not bother supporting older releases;
otherwise the delta between UOA and gSSO would get much bigger.
BTW, Quantal is more than 1 year old now, and not being an LTS I'd
recommend upgrading. :-)
