[SyncEvolution] Recurring events created on Nokia E63 become duplicated on Evolution
by Irihapeti
I created a test recurring event on the phone. After syncing to
Evolution, the event shows up as it should, BUT it also appears on the
following day as well. Times are correct on both dates.
I can edit it in Evolution to remove the extra occurrences, resync, and
everything is fine. I can edit other stuff on the phone, such as turn
the alarm off, but if I subsequently try to change the date of the event
on the phone, the problem recurs.
The output from the phone, using syncml-ds-tool, shows:

I'm having a few other issues with recurring events, none of which are
anything to do with SyncEvolution, so if nothing can easily be done
about this, I'll live with it.

[SyncEvolution] syncevo-http-server: planning of new functionality
by Patrick Ohly
Hello!
As usual, I'd like to write down some thoughts on future functionality
before actually implement it. This email is about syncevo-http-server,
the HTTP server which allows SyncML HTTP clients to synchronize with
SyncEvolution running as server.
There are some open issues to be solved:
1. http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10031 "needs to be
restarted after loss of connection"
2. http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367 "nightly testing:
include SyncEvolution <-> SyncEvolution testing"
3. http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6369 "Error reporting in
HTTP server is sucky (Or: HTTP server ignores LogOutput dbus
signals)"
4. simplify startup (no issue filed)
The first one is still something that I haven't tried to reproduce. My
goal is to set up a test case first, automate it (second issue) and then
fix the problem.
Error reporting has been an issue, because users need to monitor the
output of syncevo-dbus-server and syncevo-http-server. The intention
here is to keep syncevo-dbus-server running in the background (as
before) and improve the output of syncevo-http-server:
1. catch the rather cryptic Twisted error messages
2. translate them into INFO/DEBUG/ERROR messages
3. show syncevo-dbus-server errors together with the messages from
syncevo-http-server itself
Finally, the rather complex startup for the "SyncEvolution on headless
server" case (start D-Bus session, start syncevo-dbus-server +
syncevo-http-server) should be combined into one invocation of
syncevo-http-server.
This needs to be optional, because on a normal desktop,
syncevo-http-server should not start another D-Bus session (would
confuse Evolution Data Server).
So here are the new command line options that I intend to implement:
-d|--debug enables debug messages
-q|--quiet limits output to real error messages; ignored if -d is given
--start-dbus-session creates a new D-Bus session for communication with
syncevo-dbus-server and (inside that server) with other
D-Bus services like Evolution Data Server; should only
be used if it is guaranteed that the current user will
not have another session running, because these services
can get confused when started multiple times; without this
option, syncevo-http-server a) uses the session specified
in the environment or b) looks for a session of the current
user (depends on recent ConsoleKit and might not always work)
--start-syncevolution[=<path>]
sets up the right environment for <path>/sbin/syncevo-dbus-server
and starts it explicitly, instead of depending on D-Bus auto-activation;
to be used when SyncEvolution is not installed at the location
it was compiled for (typically /usr); the <path> is optional,
if not given, then it'll be derived from the location of the
syncevo-http-server script
Does that make sense? Are there better names for these options?

What you posted (Thu, 16 Dec 2010 12:27:52 +0000) is the output from
syncevo-http-server, the Python script which implements the HTTP part.
The error message you show is related to something which has gone wrong
earlier in syncevo-dbus-server, so the output from that process would be
more useful.
syncevo-dbus-server also writes very detailed -log.html files (see
"syncevolution --print-sessions @default"), which is what is needed if
the stdout output of syncevo-dbus-server doesn't explain the problem.
I understand that is all not as easy as it could be. Issues are open to
improve it (http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10270,
http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6369), but no-one has had the time
to work on those.

That might be it. I wasn't expecting that opensync-devel rejects mails
outright instead of holding them for approval (like I do with the
SyncEvolution list), so I didn't pay attention to the mail address and
was led to the wrong conclusion. My apologies. Teaches me a lesson to
not post such emails late in the evening :-/

Because I did a group-reply, which included you as recipient. From the
list I got the attached bounce notification.

I'm not saying anything, I am asking. Any user looking for a solution
should ask them (and several others), and also any developer writing
software not just for himself.

Please not that the "master" branch does not contain the Akonadi
backend. You need to check out the "akonadi" branch.
Here you can browse the code:

Re: [SyncEvolution] setup daily package build for ubuntu done
by toabctl
Thanks for the remove of the debian-dir.
I setup a daily build for ubuntu natty now (for maverick and lucid i don't
know how to do because of unmet dependency for libsynthesis).
The git-source will be synced to launchpad (i think daily) and then a debian
package will be created with the source and the package will be available in
a ppa.
PPA: https://launchpad.net/~toabctl/+archive/syncevo
Daily build:
https://code.launchpad.net/~toabctl/+recipe/syncevolution.recipe
automatically cynced source in launchpad:

[SyncEvolution] Sync problem: myFunambol -> Nokia n900 PR 1.3 with syncevolution
by Kyros Hariri
Hello all,
I have a sync problem with my Nokia n900 running syncevolution to
connect to myFunambol. This worked under PR 1.3 but now after I
new setup the n900 to PR 1.3 the sync process stops and a
message "Synchronization failed" appears although internet
is available.
I tried to uninstall syncevolution and deleted all directories
I could find with "find / -name syncevolution" as well. Then
Then I reinstalled and resetup my account but it failed again.
The Funambol account is OK since Thunderbird can sync with it.
Does someone has a solution for this?

[SyncEvolution] Syncing multiple calendars on SyncEvolution server side
by John Dykstra
I'm trying to configure the SyncEvolution server to replace the service
I was getting from ScheduleWorld. I've run into a problem that's not
covered by the HOWTO.
I have multiple Evolution calendars and todo lists. With ScheduleWorld,
I configured my clients so that each calendar/todo category had its own
context. Each context had a unique deviceID, and then within that
context's configuration, I specified the category in the evolutionsource
property.
On the server side, that translates to multiple peers per client, one
for each category.
I've been trying to use the Evolution databases as the backing store on
the server side. However, I'm running into problems specifying the
evolutionsource property. It appears that evolutionsource can only be
specified in the default/sources directory, and is ignored if I specify
it in the peers/foo/sources directory.
I tried making each category a different context (on the server side),
but it appears that SE only finds device IDs that are within
default/peers.
Is there a way that I can configure the server so that it uses the
Evolution database? If not, will the filesystem database allow me to do
what I need?
