[Opensync-devel] Fixing and migrating libqopensync

[Quentin D. <que...@gm...>]

Hi folks,

I looked at the libqopensync code that is used by kitchensync to translate the 
library into Qt. It's a very basic and simple translation from C to Qt, but 
changes in the API broke this libqopensync. I am trying to fix the lines but 
since I have absolutely no idea of the API I would like to get my changes 
revised and to understand the implications and consequences of those changes 
(see below).

These are only broken parts that are about 2 years old, what about new 
functions that I am not aware of and that I should integrate in kitchensync? 
Fixing and eliminating broken functions may make kitchensync compile but what 
if it lacks the new features of 0.4? Enlighten me, please!

I think it would be better to maintain that library in opensync's svn and not 
outside at KDE's. Would you clone this repo (or give me the rights to commit 
to svn and do these changes by myself):
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/pim/kitchensync/libqopensync/


The following files do not compile properly:

(notice: I created a symlink from opensync/ to libopensync1/opensync/ to 
workaround the path change in the includes)

callbackhandler.cpp: does not compile (invalid conversion and itializing 
argument error around the lines 136-139)

pluginenv.cpp:
	osync_plugin_env_free( mPluginEnv );
	osync_plugin_env_num_plugins( mPluginEnv );
-> what now?
filter.cpp:
	I could make it compile by including 
<opensync/opensync_filter_internals.h> but I think it is not part of 0.4. What 
does it lead to? What are the consequences? 

group.cpp:
	osync_group_set_last_synchronization( mGroup, dateTime.toTime_t() );
-> completely removed? No alternative? It is used by kitchensync at the 
following place:
    case QSync::SyncEngineUpdate::Successful:
      mStatus->setText( i18n( "Successfully synchronized" ) );
      mSyncProcess->group().setLastSynchronization( 
QDateTime::currentDateTime() );
      mSyncProcess->group().save();

	osync_group_num_members( mGroup ); osync_group_nth_member( mGroup, pos );
	osync_group_num_filters( mGroup ); osync_group_nth_filter( mGroup, pos );
-> are they replaced by OSyncList *osync_group_get_members(OSyncGroup *group); 
? So I now try to catch the nth OSyncList item, right? Quite an evidence, but 
it's just to make sure! ;)

syncmapping.cpp
	osync_mapping_engine_nth_change, _num_, etc
-> same logic as above I guess

syncchange.cpp:
	opensync/file.h does not exist anymore and makes OSyncFileFormat 
undefined

syncupdates.cpp:
	all the events (ex: OSYNC_MAPPING_EVENT_SOLVED) are broken, what have 
they been replaced by?


So far so good! Thanks for your help!
