Hi,
I set up a syncevolution server (git from yesterday) on a Debian Lenny
server and it works great.
The syncevo-http-server can't use HTTP. To prevent my data from being
sent unencrypted, I set up an apache with mod_proxy to "convert" the
syncevolution HTTP server to HTTPS [1], which works fine.
However, the synceto-http-server listens on all interfaces, which still
allows unencrypted access. As a quick fix, I added a "localhost" to
the reactor.listenTCP() call. I think that for a real fix, the
hostname could be extraced from the URL argument and used for the
reactor.listenTCP(), if the user provides an option for "listen to the
interface with the host only".
Regards,
Tino

I'd certainly would be happy to accept a patch for it ;-)

I followed http://syncevolution.org/development/http-server-howto, and
already tried to change the file:text/calendar:2.0 to
file:text/x-vcalendar:1.0 in
~/.config/syncevolution/default/peers/e55/sources/config.ini. However,
it didn't help.

You mean alarms created in Evolution do not get transfered to the phone?
I followed http://syncevolution.org/development/http-server-howto,
and
already tried to change the file:text/calendar:2.0 to
file:text/x-vcalendar:1.0 in
~/.config/syncevolution/default/peers/e55/sources/config.ini. However,
it didn't help.
It's very likely that vCalendar is already used. "text/calendar:2.0"
only determines the preferred format, with "text/x-vcalendar:1.0"
allowed as fallback.
To debug this further, two things would be needed:
1. a log at loglevel=4 where the device sents an event with alarm
set
2. a log at loglevel=4 where the device receives an event with
alarm set
Actually, a single log with both types of transfers also works.

Where exactly should I set this, and what program is supposed to print
the debug output? I set the loglevel to 4 in
~/.config/syncevolution/default/peers/e55/config.ini and captured the
output of syncevo-dbus-server, but I saw no further debug output.

OK, I just found ~/.cache/syncevolution. Attached are 2 log files.

They seem to be too large for the list.

I recreated the log files, which should not be cluttered with unneeded
information anymore, but only contain the addition of exactly one event
each.

Thanks. This shows two things:
1. The phone uses an "audio alarm" with a fixed time in UTC.
2. It specifies the sounds to be played via TYPE=X-EPOCSOUND.
Evolution however uses relative alarms, which is more flexible (for
example, it works for repeating events). I suspect that the phone cannot
handle that.
This is not a new issue, it came up before for the Mobical server. So
the good news is that we have conversion code which might help here.
Please do the following:
* create ~/.config/syncevolution-xml/remoterules/client
* put the attached file as 46_E55.xml there
This won't set any particular sound for the alarm. I hope the phone has
a reasonable default. Mapping between sounds is a completely different
can of worms.
Also, alarms coming from Evolution will always be sent as "display" and
"sound" alarms. Evolution itself distinguishes between that, but
currently the conversion rules in our configuration don't.
If the remote rule works, then we need to think about enhancing the
syncevo-phone-config test tool to cover also such advanced tweaking
mechanisms (http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1363).

It does not work. I created a new logfile at
<http://tikei.de/evo-to-phone2.html>;. Note that alarms worked when I
used mobical as the SyncML server part, before I switched to the
syncevolution server, if that helps.
In the logfile, it seems that syncevolution still sends a relative
time:
AALARM:-PT26M;;;message
But I also see that the alarmTimeToUTC is now mentioned in the log, so
the rule seems to be applied.

Oh, it isn't. I started the server in strace, and it never seems to
look into syncevolution-xml/remoterules/client, only .../server. So I
copied the rule to syncevolution-xml/remoterules/server, and alarms now
appear on the phone. Thanks a lot.

Hum, there is still something wrong.
If I set an alarm with 5 or 15 minutes or some other value which the
phone can set in its GUI, then it works as expected. The alarm is
shown, and if I edit the appointment on the phone, it works too.
If I set another alarm, like 6 minutes, it is shown as expected ("5
minutes before"), but additionally there is a different clock icon
shown with the absolute alarm time. The alarm is triggered at the
correct time. But if I edit the appointment, the alarm gets lost.
However, I just tried the same with mobical.net, and experienced the
same. I looks like the phone is broken in the way it handles alarm
times with other than predefined values.

You are right, I suggested the wrong directory. "client" is used *on* a
client, not *for* clients. I have added the rules file to SyncEvolution.
This leads to two issues:
* Should all Nokia phones get this treatment if there is no more
specific rule? There are plenty of different models which are
likely to behave similar. We shouldn't be forced to add a rule
for every single one. Technically it is possible, the point is
whether we should extrapolate from one example to all... perhaps
not quite yet. http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1657
* Improve syncevo-phone-config to cover rules.

So this is nothing that can be fixed by SyncEvolution, right?

Yes, you are right. I asked the Nokia support why they ship business
phones with such a crippled reminder function. especially since many
other Nokia phones allow the user to set a arbitrary reminder time. As
of now, they only offered lame excuses and strange workarounds. I'm
still trying. :-)

Well, I don't know if it's all Nokia phones, but I modified the rule

alarms from Evolution to it... All I needed to change was the model to
N85.
