[sync] best policy for versions and maintenance

Hi all,

I've given up on the black berry client and started putting my effort into the
funambol outlook client which seems better supported (so our black berry users
will have to sync to outlook, and then sync outlook to horde).

In my latest test with funambol outlook and horde (cvs head) it all seems to
work out great. Yay!

Now, I'm trying to figure out how to back pedal from using the most recent cvs
version of horde in a production environment.

Using the packages from debian stable (horde 3.1.3) and the most recent
published stable from the horde web site (horde 3.1.5) fails. Not sure
debugging the failure is worth the trouble since the SyncML packages have
undergone a lot of development since these versions were released.

So - I tried backing up the SyncML packages from these two distributions and
putting in the most recent SyncML package in their place (CVS versions from
today). In both cases (3.1.5 and 3.1.3) I get this error:

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Class 'SyncML_SyncmlHdr' not found in
<b>/usr/local/share/horde-stable-upstream/horde/lib/Horde/RPC/syncml.php</b>
on line <b>202</b><br />

Seems like in previous versions a different class name was used.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to use the most recent SyncML packages
without having to use bleeding edge Horde code? Is there any easy patch to
backport SyncML to work with these older versions of Horde? Or - am I doing
something wrong?

Thanks!
jamie
