Heya,
I've built Matt Davey's work on gnome-pilot into a package. We (read Red Hat) provided Matt with a Bluetooth-enabled Palm so he could do this work, and he e-mailed me a couple of days after the Palm arrived with patches, and a tarball of stuff to test. Unfortunately, I didn't have my Palm to test this on holidays, so here it is a bit later than could have been.
You'll need the latest pilot-link build with Bluetooth enabled: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=30826
After that, install those beta gnome-pilot packages: http://people.redhat.com/bnocera/gnome-pilot-bluetooth/
1. Setup your PC as the BT hotsync device on your Palm: Bluetooth → Setup Devices → PC Setup → Bluetooth Hotsync, and select your computer in the list (make sure it's made visible in the Bluetooth applet's preferences) 2. Add the Palm to the gnome-pilot setup: Preferences → Hardware → PalmOS Devices And enable some of the conduits 3. Ready to Sync! Go to Hotsync on the Palm, select your computer in the drop-down, and click the sync icon.
Voila! You can use a tool like BTSync to make syncing more automated: http://tinyurl.com/2wgnbf
Note that there is a known security problem with the Bluetooth backend: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508315
This will hopefully be fixed before F9.
Cheers
