Combatdoc, the packages should all be there. Did you have problems installing the packages?

For installation on Maemo, see here:

Basically it points to the install file:

Could you please put the files back up?
I am trying to get this so I can get pimlico to sync and this seems to be the only solution.

Might consider puttingit on Maemo Extras, or garage too.

/usr/share/doc is on the internal flash, not the internal memory card. Space is a bit more precious there, so the docpurge-script cleans up after packages which did not take that into account (e.g. packages not fully adapted to Maemo).

Thanks a lot Patrick. I don’t had the time for testing untill today but now i will do this. I can see the example configuration files in /usr/lib/syncevolution/doc
What is the reason for the docpurge-script? My OS is loaded directly from the internal memory card an the shoul be enough space for doc files, so i could remove the script?

I have uploaded 0.7-3. That .deb package installs the example configurations into /usr/lib/syncevolution/doc where they escape the wrath of docpurge... The normal doc files (README, license, etc.) are still in /usr/share/doc. I decided to keep them in the .deb so that it comes with the files if someone wants them, even though normal users will never see them. The extra number of bytes to download is pretty small.

Jukey, you are right. In my defense let me point out that the package contains these files and they are installed... only to be removed immediately by the package manager (or more precisely, by the docpurge script configured in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-docpurge). Because this only happens when installing via the package manager, I didn't notice it when installing via dpkg :-/ Sorry! I need to find out where such additional files are supposed to be installed by packages intended for Maemo, then prepare a new package. In the meantime there are multiple workarounds:

remove the file in the package manager, then browse to the SF download page and install the armel package by downloading it in the device's browser
install via the command line with dpkg -i <.deb>
unpack the archive (dpkg -x <.deb> ., see ./usr), either on the device or a desktop, then copy the files
