By the way, what is the heuristic to find out whether network
connectivity is available? I just recently had a bug report in Genesis
that turned out to be based on an issue with SyncEvolution: When
autoSync is switched on and one suspends the computer, it will attempt
to sync right after resume (if the sleep interval is longer than the
autoSyncInterval). But it is very probably that NetworkManager has not
yet established a network connection, thus making the sync fail.
I remember that currently network detection works only with ConMan, and
not with NetworkManager. And probably this issue is already known, but
resources are limited. I just wanted to point this out. Maybe it is a
reason to add NetworkManager support,
You've nailed it: only ConnMan is supported, NetworkManager depends on
someone providing a patch. I don't think we have an issue open for it,
but it definitely is a known issue. In case anyone wants to work on it,
the code needs to go into syncevo-dbus-server.cpp, similar to the
ConnMan code.
