[Bug 4774] New: verify a server's conflict handling policy
by bugzilla＠moblin.org

Summary: verify a server's conflict handling policy
Classification: Moblin Projects
Product: SyncEvolution
Version: upstream
Platform: Generic
OS/Version: Other
Status: ASSIGNED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: * Feature Request

CC: guannan.ou(a)intel.com, syncevolution(a)lists.intel.com
Depends on: 4369
As described in bug #4369, conflict handling can vary considerably between
servers. It would be useful to include tests in client-test which simulate the
various conflicts and identify how the server resolves them.
Then for known servers, we could also check whether the current result a) is
sane and b) is the one wanted by the server developers. This may be overkill
for all of the servers we test with, but for our own we would definitely need
this.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #4369 +++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When I tried the following test with scheduleworld, I see that the policy is
“client-win”, contact information is deleted on server. But with funambol, the
updated contact A is synced to client. Can you please check which policy should
we follow?
====================================================
Test Step:
1. add contact A on client, try two-way sync with server.
2. delete contact A on client, and update contact A on server.
3. try two-way sync.
====================================================

Summary
---------------------------------
ORG data is not consistent after two-way/slow sync between seperately updated
client and server.
---------------------------------
Reproduce Step
---------------------------------
<1> add one contact name: Jessy, Company “Intel”
<2> two-way sync
<3> modify local contact’s Company as “Intel(PRC)”
<4> modify google server contact’s Company as “Intel(US)”
<5> two-way sync again.
Company filed of contact “Jessy” is not consistent in client and server.
Result shows that in client, Company is still "Intel(PRC)", in server, Company
is still "Intel(US)".
Test the same step in Funambol, client updated contact information will replace
the corresponding server's contact.

[Bug 5041] New: avoid use of stdout/cout, route through our own logging code

Summary: avoid use of stdout/cout, route through our own
logging code

Usage of stdout and cout should be avoided. Currently the SyncEvolutionCmdline
class is still told to write into cout by syncevolution.cpp.
When compiling SyncEvolution .cpp code, any reference to stdout or cout should
trigger a compiler error (redefine the symbols?!). Some with printf, puts, etc.
Instead of cout, a custom stream which passes the data into our logging system
with a suitable tag that reproduces the output verbatim on the console and logs
it in the normal log should be used.
Running commands must redirect stdout of the processes and ideally keep
processing that output while the command runs (rules out simple system()
calls).

Running the D-Bus server in a console is a useful debugging trick to see
problem reports that are not visible in the GUI. It should be possible to get
much of the same effect by adding a signal to the D-Bus API which broadcasts
the console part of the log to clients.
Clients then can either print it on their own console or present it in an
"advanced progress" area, much like APT GUIs show the output of aptitude.
However, in contrast to aptitude, the SyncEvolution logging is not meant to be
translated.

With output redirection working (#5041) and logging sent to clients (#5042) it
should be fairly easy to just pass all of argv to a new D-Bus method and have
it processed as part of the syncevo-dbus-server. In that mode, syncevolution is
really just another client of the single instance which controls syncs.
Care has to be taken to properly serialize requests by syncevolution with
on-going operations.
A new command line option "--monitor" would be useful to connect to a running
sync session. "--status" without server config parameter could be used to query
whether there is any sync running.

[Bug 4815] New: Outlook meeting invitations: timezones
by bugzilla＠moblin.org

Summary: Outlook meeting invitations: timezones
Classification: Moblin Projects
Product: SyncEvolution
Version: upstream
Platform: Generic

This was originally found when syncing an Evolution calendar with a meeting
invitation created by Outlook with ScheduleWorld.
Outlook's VTIMEZONE definitions are nasty because the ID is not unique enough
to identify the location. Software that supports VTIMEZONE to evaluate the
times doesn't have a problem, as long as it handles different VTIMEZONE
definitions for the same ID correctly (Evolution had a bug around that).
Many servers, including ScheduleWorld and Funambol, have to map the VTIMEZONE
to some internal time zone database because they cannot use the original
definition, or because they need to send to a client which doesn't.
This mapping is fragile and unreliable if the ID doesn't follow the Olson
pseudo-standard and contains the location. In my case, "TZID:Pacific Standard
Time" was mapped to "America/Bogota", presumably because the GMT offsets kind
of matched. It then was displayed incorrectly.
A client shouldn't have to deal with these issues. But because we are now
working towards implementing a server, we need this kind of mapping code
ourselves and once we have it, might as well use it in our client. The goal is
that the client always uses Olson TZID strings when talking to a SyncML server.
That way we have that timezone matching code under our control and can tune
and/or fix it. Right now we depend on server developers to do it for us.
The Synthesis timezone handling code doesn't do that for us quite yet. It does
match based on Olson TZID if libical is found, so those TZIDs are covered. For
Outlook TZIDs it falls back to matching against an internal list, without using
Olson TZID strings for those if a match is found. We should change that so that
the list has TZID aliases with the Olson name and use those names when encoding
a VTIMEZONE. Not sure whether this change is acceptable upstream; need to
discuss and perhaps make it configurable.
If no match is found, then a temporary time zone definition is used, but it is
not preserved in the database unless the database stores VTIMEZONEs. In other
words, Evolution is fine, the ODBC backend is not. If we use the later in a
server, we need to fix this issue.
I can dig out the example, but we need more than one anyway. Ideally we need
examples for the whole range of Outlook and Exchange (they can be different!)
VTIMEZONE definitions, extend out test suite to cover the conversion, then work
on correctly identifying all these timezones.

[Bug 4611] New: join/dejoin different sources

It is a very common complaint that SyncML in most installations only supports
one calendar, address book, task list, memo list per device. This is not a
limitation of the protocol, more like the lowest common denominator that is
typically supported.
Our own sync UI for Moblin follows the same model, although SyncEvolution
itself could handle more than one instance of each data category if the peer
did (evolutionSource config option).
For those cases where the peer doesn't, it would be nice if SyncEvolution could
join data from multiple databases if the peer supports only one database, then
when receiving updates back correctly sorted them into the the right database.
Here's a user giving more background information:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.funambol.user/11522
ScheduleWorld has such a feature for calendars, based on the CATEGORY property.
We could adapt a similar system and perhaps even make it so that n:n calendar
synchronization within the same sync session becomes possible.
Another use case for such a join/dejoin are devices which exchange events and
tasks via one single URI. For our direct-sync work we need to support that.
The Synthesis engine has the concept of a <superstore>: it automatically merges
and splits based on some configurable property. Currently this is used to put
VEVENT into one <datastore>, VTODO into another. Perhaps this can be configured
to use CATEGORY, too.
For joining items, make sure that a unique CATEGORY is set per database. For
receiving items or updates back, check for the presence of those categories and
store accordingly, with one database as default for new items which don't have
any of these categories.

libsynthesis supports a direct mapping from a field list to a database via
ODBC. This would be very useful for a SyncML server usage, as replacement for
EDS as the central data storage.
The drawbacks of EDS are:
- somewhat slower performance (?)
- data model limited
- dependency not necessarily satisfied on all platforms
The internal backend API of SyncEvolution needs to be updated considerably
before this issue can be implemented.
In order to test it, database items need a textual format. Perhaps use XML (bug
#3311)?

In SyncEvolution 0.8.1 it was possible to configure syncing so that data sent
by a server was stored verbatim in one file per item. Full two-way and refresh
from client were supported.
The file sync still works, but now it passes the data through the Synthesis
engine, which translates to and from Evolution items on the local side. That
shouldn't lose information, but it would be desirable nevertheless to have a
true server backup without that transformation.
A rough idea for this is the following:
- add a "raw" profile class to libsynthesis which maps from SyncML item
attributes (type, content) to a very simple field list with corresponding
fields
- in SyncEvolution, read/write the content field instead of asking for
conversion with MAKE/PARSETEXTWITHPROFILE()
