Some questions about this:
1. Is setting remoteIdentifier necessary? I remember that you found
it to be unnecessary. As long as we are unsure how exactly
phones identify their peers (MAC address or identifier?), we
might be better of not setting remoteIdentifier and thus using
the unique deviceId instead, to allow syncing the same phone
with multiple desktops. Setting "remoteIdentifier=PC Suite" then
becomes a tip for users of phones which depend on it.... [a bit
later]... you already have it under "trouble shooting", so I
think it can be removed at the beginning.
2. When enabling "super" datastore, a hint is needed that this does
not yet work as described with 1.0 alpha 1 (MB #8424). As a
workaround, manually creating the source first should do the
trick (mkdir ~/.config/default/sources/super).
Accept.
3. When using a "super" datastore, should the user do
"syncevolution myphone super" or "syncevolution myphone
calendar
todo"? It seems that setting "uri=super" for calendar and todo
makes the later possible, but doesn't that lead to duplicate
entries in the SAN? "syncevolution myphone super" might not work
because "uri" is not set - is that necessary?
It is expected to be used by:
"syncevolution myphone calendar" to sync with one type or
"syncevolution myphone calendar todo" to sync with both. This will indeed cause
duplicate
source alerts in SAN but now failing the phone at the moment.
"syncevolution myphone super" is not working. Perhaps we will also support
this?
4. Troubleshooting "3. Change your database name" ->
Change your
URI, right? The local database name remains fixed, only the name
specified via the "uri" property can be changed.
Correct!
