Problems which need to be solved first: * message transport * authentication * deciding which databases are to be synchronized against each other This is all a bit outside of the core SyncEvolution. Improvements which are necessary inside SyncEvolution: * avoid creating duplicates when there is a loop in the topology ("phone <-> laptop, laptop <-> server, phone <-> server" is bad because a new item created on the phone will go to the laptop, from there to the server and then come back as new item to the phone, resulting in a duplicate which then repeats the process ad infinitum) * better slow sync Concrete steps: "ad-hoc synchronization between SyncEvolution instances": * Teach Evolution Data Server to create and preserve a unique ID for contacts (the vCard 3.0 UID gets overwritten at the moment). * Improve the SyncEvolution<->SyncEvolution sync such that * it uses the unique ID to speed up sync between peers which sync against each other for the first time and * checks the ID to find duplicates in following syncs. "ad-hoc synchronization between arbitrary peers": * Do the duplicate detection based on item content for each add request. -------- Product: SyncEvolution Component: SyncEvolution MeeGo Release: unspecified Severity: enhancement Priority: Undecided Keywords: Status: NEW Who: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com Assigned To: syncevolution-bugs(a)meego.bugs Target Build: --- Flags: Changed: -------- https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23760 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.meego.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
