[Opensync-devel] mozilla-sync - now with OSYNC_START_TYPE_EXTERNAL

[Henrik /K. <he...@ka...>]

Until now, the mozilla-sync plugin has been running inside the OpenSync 
process, and accessing the mozilla data in a non-thread-safe way.

The mozilla-sync plugin is now replaced by a simple stub, running with 
OSYNC_START_TYPE_EXTERNAL

This means, that the bulk of the work is now done in the blueZync 
plugin, by calling thunderbird --mozilla-sync /path/to/pipe

The implementation is still not thread-safe, but with the threading 
capabilities of Thunderbird 3, it will be possible to make a thread-safe 
implementation for Thunderbird 3.

http://bluezync.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bluezync?view=rev&revision=481
and
http://opensync.org/log/plugins/mozilla-sync/trunk/src?rev=5901**
implements this behaviour.

(However, it currently only works for Thunderbird address-books, not for 
sunbird and lightning. Also, it will not work with Debian ice*)
