Barry is a GPL C++ library for interfacing with the RIM BlackBerry Handheld. It comes with a command line tool for exploring the device and a GUI for making quick backups. This project's goal is to create a fully functional syncing mechanism on Linux. FYI, this slackbuild can take a variable of OPENSYNC (in addition to the standard ARCH, TMP, BUILD, etc.), by default compiling barry with opensync is disabled. passing OPENSYNC= will compile barry with opensync support, which will require that opensync already be installed (libopensync is in the SBo repository as well)
