* Buteo: removed from source codePatrick Ohly2012-05-22
| | | | | Pseudo-backend (really more like a plugin for Buteo) and testing framework changes were removed because Buteo is obsolete.
* autotools: depend on D-BusPatrick Ohly2012-01-20
| | | | | Local sync needs D-Bus and glib. Either libdbus or gio-dbus (in gio >= 2.26) are good enough.
* testing: allow regex in CLIENT_TEST_SKIP/FAILURESPatrick Ohly2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | | Both comma separated lists may now contain regular expressions, which is very useful to ignore or skip one test for all data categories, for example. Because tests names did not have special characters in them, previous values still work as before for a literal match against just one test.
* HACKING: updated recommended configurePatrick Ohly2011-11-28
| | | | | Use --enable-warnings=fatal to catch errors (easier than setting flags) and compile in one step with --with-synthesis-src (avoids mismatch).
* autotools: use pcre for regular expressionsPatrick Ohly2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added the necessary autotools rules to use pcre in the src binaries and libsyncevolution. It's unconditionally required now, which makes it possible to add code depending on it without having to worry about the case without pcre. The alternative to pcre with its C++ binding would have been boost::Xpressive. pcre was chosen because it has UTF-8 support and is more common. boost::regex introduces an undesirable library dependency. The C POSIX regex code has no C++ binding and does not support easy replacement. README was updated accordingly.
* HACKING: describe database creation with EDS 2.32Amarnath Valluri2011-06-24
| | | | | Automatic database creation is not supported for EDS 2.32, must be done manually.
* nightly testing: renamed ical20/itodo20/vcard30/text, removed vcard21 from ↵Patrick Ohly2011-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Evolution backend (BMC #14972) The distinction between vcard21 and vcard30 became mute in the Evolution backend a while ago. Both tests ended up using the vCard 3.0 Evolution tests data and the default uri for each server. This patch removes the vCard 2.1 special case. It also renames the tests and test data to reflect that they always were Evolution specific. The new naming convention, also applied to file, QtContacts, KCalExtended, XMLRPC, Maemo and Akonadi backends, is now <backend>_contact/event/task/memo, with eds/file/qt/kcal/maemo/kde as backend names. The reasoning is: - results in unique string (in particular no overlap with backend type names), easier to search for - underscore already used before (in contrast to hyphen) - no plural-s to keep the name shorter The Akonadi backend should be using its own test data instead of the Evolution ones.
* HACKING: add one section to describe testing ButeoZhu, Yongsheng2010-12-08
| | | | | | Add one section in HACKING to describe how to test Buteo in SyncEvolution. Maily show how to setup the environment step-by-step.
* HACKING: added commit guidelinesPatrick Ohly2010-09-25
| | | | | This summarizes and documents established practices in SyncEvolution, no new guidelines are added.
* README: replaced with README.rst, added man page (MBC #690)Patrick Ohly2010-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the necessary autotools rules a) to use README.rst as README in distribution archives and b) to build a syncevolution.1 man page out of it. The later depends rst2man. --with-rst2man can be used to force man page creation on or off. Without an explicit choice, it is only built when the tool is found. Version and compile date are inserted automatically.
* syncevo-dbus-server/syncevolution-http-server.py: SyncML HTTP serverPatrick Ohly2009-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This uses the new combined client/server Synthesis engine. When building shared modules, the engine is opened dynamically only while needed, thus reducing overall memory consumption. The HTTP server is implemented in Python, using the the 'twisted' server framework because it can use the same glib event loop as the D-Bus binding. This allows us to keep the same event loop running forever and react to both kinds of events. The server takes a base url (including host name and port) and a default configuration as name. The host name is currently ignored. It could be used to bind to a specific interface. The path is what a client has to use as part of his sync URL to synchronize against the default configuration. In addition the client can add another path to select that as his server configuration. For example, if the script is called with http://localhost:9000/syncevolution default then syncURL = http://localhost:9000/syncevolution will synchronize against the configuration called "default". With syncURL = http://localhost:9000/syncevolution/my_server, it will synchronize against "my_server".
* Dynamic loadable backends: repackage libsyncevolution to enable dynamic ↵Chen Congwu2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | loadable backends Install head files to a standard path, the remaining dependencies are synthesis and boost client-test is portable when ENABLE_MODULES is defined, no longer link to backends libraries. Add --enable-developer-mode, in which mode the backend scan path will be under current build directory for development purposes.
* HACKING: added remark about LINGUAS and Synthesis .so versionsPatrick Ohly2009-08-26

* testing: skip certain tests by listing them in CLIENT_TEST_SKIPPatrick Ohly2009-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only way that I found not to execute a test was not to register it in CPPUnit. FilterTest() does this by replacing a valid test or test group with a dummy one, SkipTest, which just prints the test name and that it is skipped. Registering tests has to be intercepted at multiple levels: - CPPUNIT_TEST in test suites - ADD_TEST in ClientTest - addTest in ClientTest Not currently intercepted are complete test suites (CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE). The main purpose of this patch is to avoid running the time consuming suspend and interrupt tests, but this feature might also be useful for other tests, which is why it was implemented in a more general way.
* logging: set SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG to disable redirectionPatrick Ohly2009-07-10
| | | | | | | | The environment variable SYNCEVOLUTION_DEBUG is checked by LogRedirect itself (instead of in its caller) so that all users of the class behave identically. The value of the variable currently doesn't matter. Later it might also be used to enable or disable specific debugging aspects.
* docs + version: updated for 0.9 beta 1Patrick Ohly2009-04-06

* configure: fixed some checks (glib, boost, EDS)Patrick Ohly2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Configure didn't check correctly for "glib": it invoked glib-config but didn't notice when that command was missing. Removed that check as it has been superseeded by "glib-2.0" anyway. Boost wasn't checked for at all, although the Boost header files are no longer bundled. libecal and libebook are now obligatory unless explicitly disabled. This catches a common mistake made by users: previously syncevolution would compile, but without Evolution support. The drawback is that on platforms without Evolution, support for it now must be disabled explicitly.
* configuration: removed obsolete config options and added WBXMLPatrick Ohly2009-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removed the "encoding" source option. It was of dubious usefulness with Funambol and has meaning with Synthesis at all. Removed dead code in EvolutionSyncConfig. Added "enableWBXML" sync option. WBXML is used by default, but for debugging disabling it might be useful: dumping WBXML doesn't seem to work reliably. Most Client::Sync tests use the default encoding, usually WBXML unless changed via CLIENT_TEST_XML=1. Client::Sync::*::testItemsXML always uses XML and Client::Sync::*::testItems always WBXML.
* dist: fixed distcheck, bundle SynthesisPatrick Ohly2009-03-25
| | | | | | | When --with-synthesis-src is used, then the Synthesis source code is compiled automatically and included in a .tar.gz. Added some missing EXTRA_DIST files.
* removed all references to Funambol header files and definitionsPatrick Ohly2009-03-25
|
* transport agent: replaced Funambol TransportAgent with own libsoup/libcurl ↵Patrick Ohly2009-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | classes The new TransportAgent base class supports sending a message and waiting for a reply. Implementations which block in either the send() (CurlTransportAgent) or the wait() (SoupTransportAgent) call are possible. The default implementation is compiled into libsyncevolution. configure picks libsoup if available, otherwise libcurl. The default can be changed via --enable-libcurl/libsoup, including not compiling any transport. Normally that triggers a configure error because it leads to an unusable syncevolution binary. Derived EvolutionSyncClients can change the default via createTransportAgent().
* HACKING: improved Synthesis instructions to work with --enable-sharedPatrick Ohly2009-03-25

* use Synthesis SDK to run a sync sessionPatrick Ohly2009-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Copying SyncEvolution settings into the corresponding Synthesis properties is implemented. A "syncevolution.xml" with the client configuration must be in the current directory. Currently it contains no configuration for SyncEvolution data backends, only for SDK_textdb addressbook. As there is no synthesis.pc yet, use SYNTHESIS_CFLAGS=-Ifoo/include and SYNTHESIS_LIBS=-Lfoo/lib -lsynthesissdk where foo is the installation prefix of the Synthesis SDK.
* improved handling of Funambol client library sourcePatrick Ohly2008-09-14
