[Opensync-users] Evolution2 plugin

[Don C. <don...@gm...>]

Hi,

during my tries to sync my phone (siemens sx1), I played around with a
sync pair Evo2 - file.
I noticed that calendar entries present on both sides get duplicated
almost every time I start the sync. Furthermore it is not possible to
delete a calendar entry from the file-sync-directory and get the
deletion synced to evolution. The error message is then:

Error writing entry 20060704T143559Z-32057-100-26699-210@localhost to
member 1: Unable to delete event: Object not found
Mapping Write Error: Unable to delete event: Object not found

I think the problem is the identifier for the item on evolution side:
20060704T143559Z-32057-100-26699-210@localhost
It consists of several parts:
20060704T143559Z: timestamp of the *sync*, changes every time!
32057: pid of msynctool, changes every time!
100: uid of the calling user should not matter
26699: pid of bash from which msynctool is startet, changes often!
210: number of the item, seems to be the same for every sync
localhost: name of the host, should not matter

Since some parts of the calendar item identifier change every time the
sync is started, evolution2 calendar items cannot be synced properly.
I don't know if this identifier is generated by the plugin or evolution itself.
A solution might be to use only the last number (e.g. "210") before
the "@localhost" from the identifier.

Greets,
