Subject: Heads-Up: pilot-link is now in Solaris
If you don't use Palm devices or you don't sync your Palm with Solaris
by USB port, you can probably delete this message.
This may be of interest to ON gatelings although the putback was in sfw
gate.
I putback pilot-link into sfwnv gate:
LSARC/2005/414 PalmSync: Palm Sync with USB port on Solaris
6321205 Pilot-link for syncing Palm devices through USB ports on Solaris
Opensource software pilot-link (www.pilot-link.org) is a suite of tools
used to connect your Palm or PalmOS� compatible handheld with Unix,
Linux, and any other POSIX-compatible machine. pilot-link works with
almost all PalmOS� handhelds, including those made by Handspring, Sony,
and Palm, as well as others.
pilot-link includes userspace "conduits" that allow you to synchronize
information to and from your Palm device, as well as libraries of
Palm-compatible functions that allow other applications to take
advantage of the code included in pilot-link.
User command "pilot-xfer" (the swiss-army-knife of the entire pilot-link
suite) is now installed in /usr/sfw/bin and the man page pilot-xfer (1)
is in /usr/sfw/man.
To sync Palm with Solaris by USB port, pilot-link makes use of libusb
(also in sfwnv gate). Man page libusb (3lib) is in /usr/man.
In project "Palm Sync with USB port on Solaris"(LSARC 2005/414),
pilot-link is the fundamental suite. It offers libraries to support some
other GUI applications (eg. "Evolution", "Gnome-pilot").
The frame work of Palm Sync project is below:
+----------------+
| Evolution |
+-------------+ |
| gnome-pilot | |
+----------------+
| *pilot-link* |
+----------------+
| libusb driver |
+----------------+
If your snv build version is below snv_24, you can also add packages for
pilot-link from the sfw gate:
binary package (SUNWpltlk):
/net/sfwnv.sfbay/gates/sfwnv/gate/packages/i386[sparc]/nightly-nd/SUNWpltlk
source package (SUNWpltlkS):
/net/sfwnv.sfbay/gates/sfwnv/gate/packages/i386[sparc]/nightly-nd/SUNWpltlkS
man package pilot-xfer (1) is including in (SUNWsfman):
/net/sfwnv.sfbay/gates/sfwnv/gate/packages/i386[sparc]/nightly-nd/SUNWsfman
For bugs: pilot-link/pilot-link
