Natty support?

Thank you for your question.

Yes, Natty will definitely be supported. But since I don’t yet run a machine with Natty, I didn’t investigate it further.

So if you are already running Natty, your input would be very valuable to provide Genesis on Natty right from the start. If you are interested in helping, there are two things that are of interest:

1. Is it a syncevolution or Genesis issue? Can you run syncevolution from the commandline without problems?
2. If the issue is in Genesis, what exact error message to you get? Please try running "genesis-sync -v" from a terminal.

If it really is a bug/crasher in Genesis, please open a bug report for it.

Thanks!

@Frederik Elwert: I just tried to install the maverick deb and it wants python < 2.7 but natty includes python 2.7.1. At this point I think I'll probably add syncevolution to cron because it seems like a faster route to solution, but if you want me to test anything else, please let me know.

@Callum Macdonald: The unstable ppa contains natty packages. These packages are ready for daily use, except for that they depend on the unstable release of syncevolution 1.2. SE 1.2 itself is also quite stable and ready for daily use in the scope of normal use, just some of the brand new features need some more testing.

I just did’t want to publish new stable Genesis packages before SE 1.2 final itself is released, so for the time being I’d reccomend using the unstable SyncEvolution and Genesis packages. After the release of SE 1.2 and the corresponding Genesis release, you could return to using the stable package archives.

@Frederik Elwert: Arg, turns out I already had 1.1.99 on 10.04, so when I upgraded, my configuration was messed up. That's what caused all the issues. It's working again now, thanks a lot for your help.

For anyone else finding this and wanting to upgrade, here are the steps that worked for me.
1) Uninstall all the syncevolution packages
2) Reboot (I had issues which I think were the previous syncevo-dbus server still running after having been uninstalled, I know it's a horrible solution, but rebooting worked for me)
3) Add the unstable repo from syncevolution directly (add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list):
deb http://downloads.syncevolution.org/apt unstable main
4) Add the genesis ppa with this command:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:genesis-devs/unstable
5) Update your sources (`sudo apt-get update` will work)
6) Install syncevolution-evolution (not the other syncevolution-* packages) and genesis-sync

I'm happy to report that I'm now running genesis sync, syncevolution, and it's all working beautifully on natty narwhal 11.04. :-)
