Hi Michele,
I was following opensync closely (being on the devs mail list). The project
was discontinued because opensync did not meet the goal (syncml protocol
issues and multi sync).
Someone here objected when I suggested to remove them, but I am not sure if
this is still valid or if it was regarding the underlaying library.
I am even not sure if opensync works with newer obex libraries.
In my opinion it should be removed in favor of syncevolution, where I
contributed plugins for TDE and the project is maintained. I consider it
stable, using it for the past 6+ years. And now that the notes interface
extention made it into the official TDE source, syncevolution should
compile and work in 14.1.
Unfortunately I did not have time to update the GUI (kitchensync) to use
syncevolution.

Perhaps make it not build by default and remove dependencies.

regards
