[Opensync-devel] problem with file-sync format ?

[Mark E. <ma...@mp...>]

Hiya

In the course of bringing synce back into the fold, I've come across
something which seems to be in file-sync.

First the background to my process. I've a sync group of evo2-sync and
file-sync, to dump my contact list for testing. I then have another
group of file-sync and synce to test the synce side with no disruption.
The sync process completes, which is good !

Amongst my format problems, I have a number of contacts, only those that
contain a mailing address, that end up massively truncated, in fact only
containing the address. From a little investigation it looks like a
problem with the data coming from file-sync.

An example, the attached vcard is the result of the evo->file sync, to
feed into the next stage. It's attached rather than inline to preserve
the formatting.

And the following is what gets fed into the synce plugin.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<contact>
  <Address Location="Home">
    <PostOfficeBox/>
    <ExtendedAddress/>
    <Street>4 York Road</Street>
    <Locality>Tonbridge</Locality>
    <Region>Kent</Region>
    <PostalCode>TN10 4QR</PostalCode>
    <Country/>
  </Address>
  <AddressLabel Location="Home">
    <Content>4 York Road
Tonbridge, Kent
TN10 4QREMAIL</Content>
  </AddressLabel>
</contact>

From the attachment, the LABEL field has been wrapped, quite correctly,
due to it's length, but there is no leading space on the continuation
line, which I believe is wrong. When it is then read in by the second
sync group, it looks likely that a similar wrapping problem results in
the breakage in the xml, seen above, and the lack of other fields
following LABEL.

If I modify the source vcard to include the space, the xml is still
broken.

I'm trawling through trying to find where all this happens, but
hopefully someone more familiar with the code can point it out ?
