Re: [Opensync-users] Problems adding new contacts (SE 608i, irmc<->file)

[Jason G. <ja...@lo...>]

Given the unfortunate lack of support for opensync, I've found the best
source of information on this is in the IrMC spec.

So it seems like the correct way to add a contact is to perform an OBEX
put with filename telecom/pb/luid/.vcd, and it is the responsibility of
the phone to allocate a unique ID.  Unfortunately, the irmc-sync plugin
doesn't comply with this; if I create a new contact without a LUID, the
irmc plugin uses the filename in the OBEX put instead of ".vcd".  Also,
when the phone allocates the LUID following the put, I can see no
mechanism in the irmc plugin for the local copy of the contact to be
brought up to date with the allocated LUID, and filename that includes
this ID.

So  I guess the irmc plugin is only half-built?  Is it undergoing active
development?  A short synopsis of gaps would be really helpful for folk
like me who are spending hours troubleshooting this stuff, when the
status must be obvious to the developers.

Thanks,

Jason.
