Aha - that's the key difference. My desktop default calendar is set to
a CalDAV calendar. My laptop is still set to the local copy.
I'm guessing (based on the thread about caldav/syncml) that issues here
are expected?

[SyncEvolution] dbus-server-reorganization progress
by Chris Kühl
Hi,
I've been working on getting my dbus-server-reorganization branch on
par with master and I think I've almost achieved that. Currently they
are both seeing 3 failures and 2 errors. I see that the 2 errors are
probably addressed in bug #20990 as they start to appear only after
the recent autosync changes. The 3 failures seem to be due to issues
with the password property in temporary configs. I've pastebin'ed my
output in case it's helpful: http://pastebin.com/kRe0sPBK
I said "almost" on par because I've been having issues when building
with --disable-shared and --enable-static. When trying this I get an
error telling me to add -ldl to the LDFLAGS which I've done and it
does in fact seem to build correctly. However, with this, the backends
don't get registered and I, of course, get tons of problems when
running the tests. This issue exists in the first commit on my branch
which moved the dbus-server over to its own directory. However,
everything does seem to build and work fine with only --enable-static
specified which is what I've been using for running the tests.
Cheers,
Chris

[SyncEvolution] SyncEvolution on Harmattan
by Roman Morawek
Hello,
I have been using SyncEvolution intensively on a Maemo N900.
Right now I have a Nokia N950 with MeeGo Harmattan and the wish to
continue using SyncEvolution with my private Funambol server.
I spent some time on searching for ways to achieve this but did not succeed.
This is my understanding:
SyncEvolution supports MeeGo and is preinstalled on the Netbook images
but seems to be not available on Harmattan?
Are there plans to support Harmattan?
Or is it just a matter of proper installation or compiling the package?
Thanks a lot for your support,
Roman

Ove, thanks for your efforts!
I'm looking forward for you to get an N9 and try again then. Hopefully
also the build dependencies are ported until then.

[SyncEvolution] 1.1.99.5a in Debian experimental - testers wanted
by Tino Keitel
Hi,
syncevolution 1.1.99.5a is now in Debian experimental. If there are
Debian users who want to test these packages, I'd be glad to hear
some feedback. Bluetooth and CalDAV/CardDAV are untested so far, so I'd
be really excited if someone can give this a shot and report back.
Regards,
Tino

Thanks for the update, applied.

True. It used to insert SSLVerifyServer=0 into the configuration
templates. When these templates were moved out of the source code (where
a simple ifdef was enough) into files (where a more complicated patching
during "make install" would be needed), I dropped support for the
configure option. I didn't know that the Maemo 5 port depends on it.

That would be the better solution, if it solves the problem.
Alternatively you could add the SSLVerify=0 in your frontend when
creating configs.

ne_ssl_trust_default_ca() is called by SyncEvolution. If libeon itself
was compiled correctly, then it should find and use the default
certificates. Overriding the path is indeed not supported. Disabling SSL
verification is, so that would be the low road that you could take.

Can you send me the logs of downloading an event and updating it? Run
with loglevel=4 and send the "source-config" logs, those are the ones
showing the communication with the CalDAV server.

That might indeed be a problem. It might be possible to fix it, I need
to look at the logs and think a bit about where the right UID can be
inserted again.

SyncML doesn't care about the UID at all whereas in CalDAV, iCalendar
2.0 including the UID semantic (globally unique and preserved) is
mandatory. It would be SyncEvolution's job to fix that for local
backends which don't support it.

[SyncEvolution] website: Introductory text and front page
by Murray Cumming
The introductory text on the main page is a little verbose and tries to
cram too many good features in to a first impression.
I don't see how to change that page (or maybe I don't have the right
access), but I'd like to change it to this:
"
SyncEvolution synchronizes personal information management (PIM) data
via the SyncML protocol. It syncs contacts, appointments, tasks and
memos. It syncs to web services via HTTP or to SyncML-capable phones via
Bluetooth.
<a href="http://downloads.syncevolution.org/">Binaries</a> are available
for Linux desktops (using GNOME Evolution, or KDE's Akonadi), for MeeGo
or for Maemo 5 (Nokia N900).
"
I would also like to move the "Recent Blog Posts" and "About the web
site" blocks to the right, putting some secondary introductory text at
the left (moved from About), along with a screenshot.
The "Featured Posts" is just a verbose duplicate of "Recent Blog Posts".
The reader is drawn to those blocks of text, but that time-specific
information is not the most informative for new visitors.

[SyncEvolution] field merging + parameters
by Patrick Ohly
Hello!
I am adding support for PHOTO;VALUE=uri to SyncEvolution. A
straight-forward solution is this:
<field name="PHOTO" type="blob" compare="never" merge="fillempty"/>
<field name="PHOTO_TYPE" type="integer" compare="never" merge="fillempty"/>
<field name="PHOTO_VALUE" type="string" compare="never" merge="fillempty"/>
But... what if one contact has PHOTO:<binary data> and gets merged with
a contact that has PHOTO;VALUE=uri:http://foo.bar?
My fear is that I'll end up with PHOTO;VALUE=uri:<binary data>, because
of the "fillempty" merge mode for PHOTO_VALUE. A similar problem also
exists for PHOTO_TYPE.
What I would need is a "fillempty" for PHOTO and a
"copy-if-photo-was-copied" for the other two fields.
I don't think that exists, so my current approach is to have an incoming
script which ensures that the PHOTO_VALUE is never empty (sets "binary"
if unset) and an outgoing script which strips it again (to emulate
current behavior). It's not working 100% correctly because for field
lists populated with PARSETEXTWITHPROFILE() the incoming script is not
executed.
Am I on the right track or should I simply ignore the problem?
