Re: [SyncEvolution] syncevo-dbus-server and command line client

The current model where the command line loads libsyncevolution and does all operations (config, sync) in a single process will still be possible. We haven't quite decides yet what the default will be. Your comment about syncevo-dbus-server being compiled, but not installed implies that the default should better do a runtime check, something like: --use-daemon[=yes/no] run operations in cooperation with the background sync daemon; enabled by default if it is installed If the option is not given, the command line should try to start the daemon. If that works, use it. If not, fall back to running the sync in the process. The alternative is to check whether the syncevo-dbus-server is installed in the location where it should be. The advantage of that is that failing to start an installed daemon can be reported as error. The disadvantage is that a daemon compiled differently might not be found. The more I think about it, the second one is perhaps the better one. It's simpler to implement and has obvious failure behavior. I think splitting the daemon off makes sense. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
