Indeed it looks like things changed and a deeper look might be needed to
reintegrate it.

it installs fine, but the rest needs more investigation. to try step three
it needs to offer SYNCML-[SERVER|CLIENT] via obex, but it does not.

I was just wondering what is patterns-sailfish-mw. I recall reading about
middle ware in Architecture, but I could not find any hint (so far) how
things should work there for this plugin.

Thanks for the offer again! I am afraid I would need to buy a device for
development/testing. I use my one at daily bases and can not risk breaking
the setup. It will just take some time. I am afraid, BT/sync can not be
debugged in the virtual machine(s). On top I'll need time to catch up with
Sailfish OS development documentation, so it is possible that I contact you
after you are back from your next vacation :)
