Re: [SyncEvolution] memo not supported by backends (0.9.1)
Hi All,
Thanks for your help today. Problem resolved.
Patrick nailed it - manual copying of /usr/etc files is no good. The
proper approach is instead:
syncevolution --configure --sync-property "username=XXX" --sync-property
"password=XXX" Funambol
I just did a Funambol sync for the first time after months (years?)
without syncing, and it just worked. Incredible.
Regarding the documentation, it's fine. This problem was completely my
fault. Analysing my behavior though (for your continual improvement
purposes) as a seasoned linux guy who is used to hacking config
directly, and past user of syncevolution, I guess I mistakenly thought
that a 'cp -r' was the quickest way to get started, and assumed that
the /usr/etc stuff was operational base config. I'm guessing that it
will trick others in future too.
Thanks again,
J.

^^^^^^^
That's it. Those templates under /usr/etc are not meant to be copied
manually. Instead they are input for syncevolution during the normal
"syncevolution --configure funambol". If we had a "type" property in
the
memo source template, it would have worked, though, so I think we should
add it.
Sorry, I missed that part about "copying" of your initial description.
Please have a look at this page, it describes how to do the initial
configuration:
http://syncevolution.org/documentation/getting-started
Besides having that crucial "type" property, you also end up with
comments in the config.ini files, so if you feel like editing them later
on, that will be a bit easier.

Thanks for bringing this up! Perhaps you have a hint how we could
improve the documentation or the release announcements so that other
users have an easier time getting started?
