Summary: config templates in /usr/etc
Classification: Moblin Projects
Product: SyncEvolution
Version: upstream
Platform: Netbook
OS/Version: Moblin Linux
Status: ASSIGNED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: SyncEvolution
AssignedTo: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com
ReportedBy: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com
QAContact: yanshuang.zheng(a)intel.com
CC: shuang.wan(a)intel.com, syncevolution(a)lists.intel.com
There's a not unreasonable expectation that these config templates can be
copied as they are and then be used after editing them (the Unix way instead of
using the command line or this GUI thingy...).
Right now, the templates are only almost complete. The type setting must be
added to the source config.ini files. At least one user ran into the resulting
"type 'select backend'" error.
We might also change something else:
* install in /etc
* don't install at all, if not needed

Thanks for raising this.
Yes, linux command-line guys like me are used to cloning a base config, and
modifying the file directly.
A couple of other ideas:
* if the config is not suitable for cloning, add a big warning at the top of
the file to help folk like me know that what they are doing is fraught
* if the config is suitable for cloning, include all the comments there
* /etc is preferable for linux folk. In that case, convention is for that
config to represent 'base' configuration; i.e. a fallback that is used if more
local config (e.g. in ~/.config/syncevolution) is not found.

Sounds reasonable. A README in the top-level /etc/defaults/syncevolution
directory also would be useful.

It's not.

local config (e.g. in ~/.config/syncevolution) is not found.
The configs in /etc cannot be used for syncs, only to create configs. In that
sense a better location would be /usr/share/syncevolution for the templates
that come with the distribution *plus* the possibility to search for templates
in /etc/defaults/syncevolution.
The intention was that local sys admins can extend the set of server templates
without having to recompile SyncEvolution. Admittedly a rather obscure and rare
use-case, so I wonder whether it is worth bothering about at all.

that come with the distribution
/usr/share/syncevolution/templates is now used, with a README in that directory
warning that the files are not complete configs.
*plus* the possibility to search for templates
in /etc/defaults/syncevolution.
Because this is unlikely to be needed, it is not supported by the binary, which
now only searches in /usr/share/syncevolution/templates.

Hi Patrick,
I may not know the history of this issue. My understanding is: we will put
some service config templates into /usr/share/syncevolution/templates folder.
When we run 'syncevolution -l zyb test', it can made config in
~/.config/syncevolution/test according to the template there.
But currently, all templates (for 7 services) are written in
src/syncevo/SyncConfig.cpp . So, who uses the files in
/usr/share/syncevolution/templates?

The phone peers will use this template and we
also have another backdoor for
HTTP service templates (if it is existed in the /usr/share/..templates/ folder
we will use that instead so that we can load thumbnails for the server)

We can see those files in /usr/share/syncevolution/templates/ by
moblin-2.2-default-20100203 image. It should have been fixed in an older image.
Verify it now.
