[Syncevolution-issues] [Bug 1411] New: Please enhance syncevolution with HTTP howto - include N900 example with task sync

http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1411 Summary: Please enhance syncevolution with HTTP howto - include N900 example with task sync Classification: MeeGo Projects Product: SyncEvolution Version: unspecified Platform: Netbook OS/Version: IA Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: High Component: SyncEvolution AssignedTo: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com ReportedBy: jingke.zhang(a)intel.com QAContact: jingke.zhang(a)intel.com CC: syncevolution-bugs(a)meego.bugs, syncevolution-default-bugs(a)meego.bugs Estimated Hours: 0.0 This issue is from http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10486 Description From syncevolutionbugs(a)sourcesink.com 2010-04-17 18:56:00 PST (-) [reply] I wish to use syncevolution's HTTP server to sync with an N900 It would be helpful if you could update the HTTP howto to cover this scenario. I have contacts and address working fine (syncevolution v0.9.2 on N900 simulated under scratchbox and syncevolution 1.0beta2 under Ubuntu 9.04) Tasks and memos are not syncronizing. My google searches seem to indicate that I need to use a virtual source for this - but I've been unable to find much info on this in my online searches. I think the correct place for the config file changes is on the desktop side (where I am running the syncevo-http-server) but not sure what else is needed and exactly how to get it all configured... If you'd like someone to write the howto updates, I'm willing to do so...but would need some help to get my setup working first. Thank you for a great tool and your continued efforts! -------------------------------------- As a side note: I would prefer to be running 1.0beta2 on the N900 and am working on building it but running into a number of issues - most recently an issue with an undefined symbol while building util.cpp (NSS_NoDB_Init) - everything seems to be in order though... I need to look into that more... Perhaps I should really step forward to the latest code in git since it looks like beta 3 is due shortly? ---------------------------------------- ------- Comment #1 From pohly 2010-04-18 12:27:36 PST (-) [reply] ------- (In reply to comment #0) What is the error that you are getting? I'll update the HOWTO, but for that I need to know what I have to change to avoid the problem you are running into. You don't need virtual sources when using SyncEvolution *on* the N900. You only need that when talking *with* SyncEvolution to the native SyncML implementation via Bluetooth. Using the "master" branches is safe, no need to wait for an official beta 3. Just make sure that you get both SyncEvolution and libsynthesis, then compile with --with-synthesis-src. ------- Comment #2 From syncevolutionbugs(a)sourcesink.com 2010-04-20 13:59:07 PST (-) [reply] ------- A few more details...in response to your request. (Please keep this open for a bit though...I may add some more detail) Ok, sync is working for me for tasks, calendar and memos (and continues to work for addressbook). I am in the process of carefully documenting my steps and plan to run another clean run of the steps to make sure they are right. My most recent problem I suspect was due to the hierarchal nature of the config files. On the server side I discovered some inconsistencies in my settings across all these files. While setting things up I most likely edited the wrong file accidently at some point. Patrick clarified things a bit for me in recent email Virtual sources are NOT needed for this scenario Virtual sources are required IF 1) you have a Bluetooth phone and wish to use Bluetooth to sync to it's native SyncML server AND 2) the phone or device's version of SyncML wishes to combine more than one sync type into a sync event Example: some Nokia phones (including N900 I believe) combine calendar and todo info into one sync type I may be wrong on these two things since I don't yet have an N900 and have not done any experimenting with bluetooth, syncml, phone combos etc) -------------------------------------------------------- Environment details Client: "N900" via scratchbox emulation using Mar 22 2010 Maemo dev SDK from Nokia Syncevolution 0.9.2 from repository Syncevolution-frontend 0.5 from repository Server syncevolution 1.0beta2 from source code I compiled evolution version 2.26.1 Sync method: syncevolution HTTP server running on desktop -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.meego.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
