[Opensync-devel] Gnokii patch

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

Here is a patch to make the gnokii plugin compile against the latest api. 
However, the plugin does not register yet and there are still warnings during 
compilation but I think this patch is a good starting point. Could anyone 
commit the changes since I have no access to svn?

There are also a sink and an easy slowsync issue to solve in gnokii_contacts.c 
(and the same for gnokii_calendar.c) but before being able to fix this I would 
need two questions answered:

1. what is exactly a sink object and what is the concept behind it? Just a two 
lines explaination please, I have a vague idea...

2. it's my first time I code in C, but do the functions have to respond to a 
particular constructor? Take the example of this outdated one:

void gnokii_calendar_get_changes(void *plugindata, OSyncPluginInfo *info, 
OSyncContext *ctx)

which is only called by: 
osync_objtype_sink_set_get_changes_func(event_sinkenv->sink, 
gnokii_calendar_get_changes);

no argument is passed, to I suppose it tells the engine to call the function 
and to pass itself the required arguments? Hence the need to use a certain 
standard constructor that I would have to take over from say the file-sync 
plugin.

There are also some objformat issues in that file, but I will try hard to 
solve them lateron if nobody is willing to apply his/her expertise easily and 
quickly. ;)

Best regards,
Quentin (falling back on gnokii because of syncml issue: Ticket #1267)
