http://bugzilla.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666 Summary: X-OSSO-BOUND property on Maemo Classification: MeeGo Projects Product: SyncEvolution Version: unspecified Platform: Netbook OS/Version: IA Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Low Component: Maemo 5 AssignedTo: ovek(a)debian.org ReportedBy: jingke.zhang(a)intel.com QAContact: jingke.zhang(a)intel.com CC: syncevolution-bugs(a)meego.bugs, syncevolution-maemo5-bugs(a)meego.bugs Estimated Hours: 0.0 This issue is from BMO#1985 (http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1985) This was originally reported on January 07 2009 by a Chris Davis against SyncEvolution 0.8.1. It wasn't possible to do anything about it then, but now the situation is different. X-OSSO-BOUND is a local extension used by the Maemo address book. It links certain parts of a contact with instant messaging accounts on the device. Here's an example: BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:zzTestlast;zzTestfirst UID:pas-id-9999999999999999 X-JABBER;X-OSSO-BOUND="john@gmail.com":firstjabbertest@BLAH.COM X-JABBER;X-OSSO-BOUND="bar@gmx.de":secondjabbertest@blah.com X-AIM:firstaimbuddy X-AIM:secondaimbuddy X-YAHOO;X-OSSO-BOUND="firstyahooaccount":firstyahoo X-YAHOO;X-OSSO-BOUND="firstyahooaccount":secondyahoo X-MSN;X-OSSO-BOUND="firstmsnaccount":firstmsn X-MSN;X-OSSO-BOUND="secondmsnaccount":secondmsn EMAIL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=1;TYPE=PREF;TYPE=INTERNET:test@blah.com EMAIL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=2;TYPE=INTERNET:testtwo@blah.com END:VCARD ScheduleWorld kind of supports preserving such extensions, so it was possible to synchronize the properties to Evolution on a desktop, but the Evolution GUI removed it when editing such a contact. Other servers or clients might not support it at all. Chris suggested to map the property to non-standard TYPE values. I'm not so sure about that, because this information doesn't seem to be useful outside of the device. With Synthesis we can change SyncEvolution so that the X-OSSO-BOUND value is never sent to anyone else and preserved when receiving an update for the item: the internal field list needs to be extended to hold the value and the datatype definitions for the Evolution side needs to be different from the one used for peers: the one for Evolution needs to support X-OSSO-BOUND, the other must not. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.meego.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
