README
DecSync for Evolution
=====================
DecSync for Evolution is an [Evolution](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution) plugin which synchronizes contacts and calendars using [DecSync](https://github.com/39aldo39/DecSync). To start synchronizing, all you have to do is synchronize the DecSync directory (by default `~/.local/share/decsync`), using for example [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net).
Installation
------------
### Debian/Ubuntu
For Debian/Ubuntu, there is a `.deb` package available at the [releases page](https://github.com/39aldo39/Evolution-DecSync/releases).
### Arch Linux
For Arch Linux, there is a [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evolution-decsync) available, created by vasket.
Build from source
-----------------
In addition to the dependencies below, the library [libdecsync](https://github.com/39aldo39/libdecsync) is also required.
Install dependencies:
### Debian/Ubuntu
```
sudo apt install \
build-essential \
git \
meson \
ninja-build \
pkg-config \
libjson-glib-dev \
libebook1.2-dev \
libedata-book1.2-dev \
libedata-cal2.0-dev \
evolution-dev
```
### Fedora
```
sudo dnf install \
cmake \
git \
gcc \
meson \
json-glib-devel \
evolution-data-server-devel \
evolution-devel
```
### Arch Linux
```
sudo pacman -S \
cmake \
meson \
ninja \
json-glib \
evolution-data-server \
evolution
```
### Build
```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/39aldo39/Evolution-DecSync
cd ./Evolution-DecSync
meson build
sudo ninja -C build install
```
Note: the master branch does not work for older versions of Evolution. For those, use the `evolution-3.40` branch, or similar, instead.
### Further steps
Once building is complete, enable syncing with Evolution by:
1. Restart your computer
2. Open Evolution
3. Click `Edit` → `Accounts`
4. In the window that opens, you can use `Add` on the right-hand side to add an `Address Book` or `Calendar`.
5. For type, select `DecSync`; eventually check `Mark as default address book/calendar`. If applicable, select the location of your DecSync folder.
6. A new address book will appear. Right-click it and select `Refresh` to instantly show your contacts/events.
All done!
