[SyncEvolution] sync-gui auto sync frequency
by rustonm2005@yahoo.co.uk
Hi all,
Just wondered if there was any plan to extend the sync-gui interface to allow for a more granular sync frequency (i.e. more than daily)?
I'm using on a nokia n900 and I'm thinking that it would ideallyt be good to have something linked to dbus signals to syncronise a specific time period after the last calendar update. Sort of delayed realtim e syncing. Only mention it because I'm looking at a wrapper to do this.

Sorry, you can't. As I demonstrated before (hello Gunter), I didn't
reread the whole thread and didn't remember that you were using
SyncEvolution (exclusively) on the N900. The binaries from the nightly
build are for x86/lpia and amd64, but not ARM. We probably should add a
build inside scratchbox at some point, but don't have the time for that
now.

That would go into the config.ini of the peer. You can use
"syncevolution --configure --sync-property SyncMLVersion=1.1 <config
name>" to change it (note that we renamed SANFormat into SyncMLVersion).

[SyncEvolution] Syncevolution on Nokia N900 : Force SyncML 1.1 ?
by Christof Sulzer
I'm trying to synch calendar data on Nokia N900 with my Desknow server (www.desknow.com) using Syncevolution 0.9.2-4.
I receive the following error after triggering a synchronization :
"SoupTransport Failure: http://servername/desknow/sync via libsoup: Internal Server Error".
Log of the Desknow server :
[http-1000-Processor23]SyncServer: Unexpected exception.
org.syncml.SYNCMLParseException: Unexpected Token [namespace=syncml:devinf,name=CTCap,ext=-1,id=150,type=1,line/column=1/288]
I already contacted Desknow's support and they are telling me "Syncevolution uses the Synthesis SyncML engine, which DeskNow is fully compatible with. Make sure it uses SyncML 1.1 protocol".
So is there a way to force Syncevolution to us SyncML 1.1 ?
Any help on how to solve this would very much appreciated, thanks.

[SyncEvolution] syncevolution 1.0beta2, n900:
by Stefano Zacchiroli
Hi all, I'm trying to use syncevolution 1.0beta2 to sync my N900 with
evolution over bluetooth. I've followed the instruction at
http://syncevolution.org/development/sync-phone, but I now only get a
failure saying:
ObexTransprotAgent: Underlying transport error
On the other hand, I knokw Obex is working because I use it to browse
(still via bluetooth) my N900 files from GNOME/Nautilus.
If it is well known and expected for a dev release, don't worry, that's
life. If otherwise it is unexpected I'd be happy to help out with
testing, I attach the failure log.
Many thanks for syncevolution!
Cheers.

[SyncEvolution] nightly snapshots, almost 1.0 beta 3
by Patrick Ohly
Hello!
I've changed the nightly builds so that the version is set
automatically. Unless the exact source of SyncEvolution and Synthesis
are tagged consistently with the version mentioned in configure, the
abbreviated hash of the git sources are appended together with the
current date. In addition, "unclean" is appended if the sources were
locally modified on the build machine - right now, that seems to be
appended incorrectly, though.
Would it be useful to make these binaries available automatically every
day, say, for the last week? Note that these may very well be buggy
because they will become available even if the corresponding test run
fails.
Anyway, we are approaching 1.0 beta 3. Because we had some issues that
are better verified by the users encountering them, I made them
available in http://downloads.syncevolution.org/tmp/
Here's the preliminary NEWS file:
One more step towards the long awaited 1.0. 0.1 was released over four
years ago and the 1.0 cycle started some time last summer. Beta 3 is
considered feature complete at this point.
Automatic synchronization is supported by the syncevo-dbus-server (MB
#6378). When that is installed, it will be started as part of a user
session and keep running to trigger syncs in the
background. Notifications are emitted when syncs start, end or fail
(MB #10000).
Automatic synchronization can be enabled separately for each peer
("autoSync=0/1", off by default), will be done at regular intervals
("autoSyncInterval=30" minutes) when online long enough
("autoSyncDelay=15" minutes). That last option ensures that a) an
automatic sync does not attempt to use a network connection unless it
was already active and b) hopefully is also around long enough to
complete the sync.
Detecting online status depends on ConnMan. Without it, SyncEvolution
assumes that the network is available. For Bluetooth it is enough to
have a peer paired.
Thanks to fixes and improvements in both Synthesis engine and
SyncEvolution, suspend and resume are fully supported in client and
server (MB #2425). Previously it failed in some cases, as mercilessly
exposed by our automated testing. Now all of these tests pass. The
HTTP server now also handles message resends by clients correctly.
Direct synchronization with older phones (like Sony Ericsson K750i)
can be started now by switching to an older version of the SyncML
standard ("SyncMLVersion" property, MB #9312). No further
interoperability testing with such phones has been done at this
time. When acting as client, that same property allows talking to
older SyncML servers, like desknow.com.
Other changes:
* Nokia N900: added a config template for it and disabled the redundant
RespURI when using Bluetooth. Preliminary testing shows that this solves
some of the issues seen before (MB #10224).
* syncevolution.org binaries: finally solved the libbluetooth3
incompatibility (MB #9289). Binaries of beta 2 crashed on more
recent distros because of that.
* SyncML client and Bluetooth: a mobile device running SyncEvolution
creates a configuration automatically (MB #6175). The peer contacting
us has to use the standard SyncEvolution URIs (addressbook, calendar,
todo, memo).
* command line: when dealing with the shared non-peer part of a config,
it checks for properties which are unsuitable only prints
those (MB #8048)
* GTK GUI: improved setup of devices, automatic sync switch,
some fixes for crashes and other tweaks
* Nokia 7210c: send time as UTC instead of relying on time zone
information (MB #9907).
* command line: setting up a configuration for a "SyncEvolution"
server on a client was not possible because the "SyncEvolutionClient"
configuration was picked instead (MB #10004). The latter has to
be used when configuring a SyncEvolution server to talk to a
SyncEvolution client.
* restore: no longer updates the time of the backup (MB #9963)
* various minor improvements and fixes, see ChangeLog

Re: [SyncEvolution] Problem with Syncevolution
by Suyog
Patrick,
I did exactly as you have listed. I was able to follow readme file and then install file. I got no error messages.
But I am now unable to find where syncevolution is installed. I suspect it to be in /us/local/bin
Please see attached screenshot.
Also I am unable to find it in Programs->Internet. If I install by adding source and using synaptic then it shows up under Internet in programs. So now basically I think I have got it compiled and installed from source but I am unable to find GUI. Hence I am not able to use and test it.
Best Regards,
Suyog

[SyncEvolution] Libsynthesis 3.2.0.35+ds2-2 on Ubuntu Lucid
by Pietro Battiston
Hello,
as promised, I'm trying ([0]) to get libsynthesis 3.2.0.31+ds2-2 in
Ubuntu Lucid, but in the meanwhile I write you regarding the problem
that I mention in the end of [1]: in brief, on most syncronizations (for
instance, if I start evolution the first time for a given user, sync and
just sync again) syncevolution hangs (it print _nothing_ to the
terminal) and evolution-data-server-2.28 consumes all available CPU
cycles.
I thought this is a problem on the Evolution side, and that it will be
fixed in the two months that still separe us from the release... but I'd
like to know if this is something you know of, in particular because it
happens with libsynthesis 3.2.0.31+ds1-2 and 3.2.0.31+ds2-2, but not
with the syncevolution-evolution 0.9.2+1.0beta2a-2.
thanks
Pietro

Patrick,
This may sound silly question but could you point to link/info where i can find procedure to clean un-install existing version and then compile again from source?

[SyncEvolution] "Prevent Slow Sync" in server alerted sync
by Chen, Congwu
Hello,
SyncEvolution now has "PreventSlowSync" on by default:
As a sync initiator, if the user selects "two-way" but the engine found it has to
use "SlowSync" to proceed, it is reasonable to stop the sync and warn user.
However, from server alerted sync view, this has some problem:
If the remote (The sync server) asks a "two-way" sync but SyncEvolution found
it cannot proceed without a "slow" sync, it aborts the sync process. However from
the server side view, it cannot get any information on this failure and causing confusion.
I think we may disable this feature if this is a server alerted sync at client side, comments?

Congwu
