Exporting phone list to a fritz router (.xml) & android phone app.

[Julian H. Stacey]

Hi ports@ people
Any reccomendations of ports/ that may manage phone & address booke,
& import/export to Fritz Routers & Android phone app ?  Should I
be using a stack of vCards format as a common intermediary to edit
the master with vi, or some port ?

My large phone+address book has for 20 years been vi editable in my own format:
	http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/phone/
which supports lots of additional fields way beyond phone & address,
& Makefiles export to 3 device formats:
	BSD ISDN i4b S0 card man(8) isdnd
	ports/comms/gnokii nokia etc mobiles
	ports/misc/estic Istec 1008 etc (PBX=LCO=TK Anlage)

I now want to export to 2 new device formats:
	Fritz routers that export & import in xml format, sample appended.
	Android phone app.  Format unexamined yet

I expect to lash up an export from phone.c to Fritz XML,
but probably you can reccomend some nicer standard ports &/or formats ?
Didn't there used to be some [kde?] or similar tool in a larger package ?

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports/ gives with
"phone book"

ports/misc/telbook	
	in Perl and uses the GTK+ 2 p	no mention of xml

ports/deskutils/tel/
	Entries are stored in a simple CSV file. This eases import
	and export with common spread sheet applications like
	Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc

"address book"

deskutils/dlume
	stores your contacts in XML format
	Export to CSV and HTML formats is also available

deskutils/gaddr
	holds addresses and any other information you want to know
	about a person

deskutils/py-pycarddav
	CardDAV CLI client

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CardDAV
	based on WebDAV, which is based on HTTP, and it uses vCard
	for contact data.

mail/evolution
	Big, databases/evolution-data-server make broke.
	pkg install worked .... starts with mail

mail/horde-turba
	supports storing contacts in SQL, LDAP, Kolab, and IMSP

"phone numbers"
devel/py-phonenumbers

Cheers,
Julian
