[Opensync-devel] Main sink connecting

[Paul E. <blu...@bl...>]

Hi all,

I've just recently changed opie-sync to do the connection to the device in a 
main sink rather than checking if it needed to be done within each objtype 
sink. However I have come accross some behaviour that I don't understand. It 
seems the main sink only connects after all of the objtype sinks have 
connected. In my case I need to connect to the device, and then after that I 
need to determine for each objtype whether slow-sync is required; this latter 
task needs to be done at the connect stage I believe. I don't think the way it 
works now will let me do that without going back to having the main connect 
logic in each objtype sink's connect function; but if I do go back I can't 
retrieve a few stored values that I am (at the moment) putting into the main 
sink's state db.

I assume this connect order is intentional. If so, what is the reason for 
doing it this way?

Thanks,
Paul
