[gentoo-user] Bluetooth PIM sync with KDE?

Is it still possible to sync, e.g. the contacts on my phone with Kontact?
Googling around, it seems like OpenSync isn't really even a thing any more,
and I'm not finding anything in various account settings in Kontact to add
a bluetooth device as a data source.

Hello mikemol. 

I have no idea.

But it's *great* to see you post to the list, again. I peruse your install
script (github) on occasion to see if you have updated it, or 'ansiblize' [1]
it.  Great to hear from you, again.

Heh. I haven't had need of that script in years. I only needed it then because 
*something* was causing my system to crap its pants midway through emerges, 
and rebuilding an entire Gentoo system to narrow down why was...time-
consuming. I currently have exactly one Gentoo install going--my workstation. 
And it's been ongoing-stable for something like three years, now. For a while, 
I didn't have any Gentoo systems, as I didn't have time to stand up a personal 
system to play with; I'd just gotten married, bought a house, now have two 
kids named after programming languages...

As for that script, it turned out that having -gddb3 in CFLAGs breaks glibc. 
Have a broken glibc get built, installed--and *nothing* that spawns afterward 
can run. Hard to fix if you don't know why it's breaking. It was a known bug, 
but not documented anywhere at the time.  Thankfully, I notice it's currently 
documented in the Gentoo Wiki...

Good successtory.

Congratulations

Hope it's not C# and C++?  ;)

Good to know.
I tend not to play around with CFLAGs much.

Thanks. :)

Pascal and Ada. :) I dunno, though. *I* kinda thought a name like "C Mol" or 
"R Mol" would sound more distinguished. :)

My current set:

CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native -ggdb"
LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,--as-needed"

unless you're www-client/chromium, app-office/libreoffice or net-libs/webkit-gtk, 
in which case you don't get -ggdb.

Unless there is an akonadi plugin/resource for this, I doubt it can be made to 
work.

Alternatively, depending on the type of phone, you can:
- set up a server (or use a cloud-provider like google)
- configure the phone to sync with that server
- configure kontact to sync with that server

I've been doing it this way for a very long time.
Added benefit: You only need to backup the server.
