[Opensync-users] Syncing one-way from KDE-PIM to Nokia E71

[Dotan C. <dot...@gm...>]

Can OpenSync be used to sync one way from KDE-PIM to a Nokia E71? If
so, is KDE-PIM with Akonadi supported, or only the KDE-PIM 3.x
version? I have gone through the OpenSync.org wiki and I do see that
my phone is supported by version OpenSync 0.22 however I cannot find
information on KDE-PIM with or without Akonadi and I have been
unsuccessful at syncing via Kitchensync.

Thanks in advance.

One-way, I doubt that not yet.

akonadi and kde old resources should also be supported.

In theory 0.22 supports syncml 1.1 like does the phone too.
Though those 0.22 and older versions of libsyncml are buggy
and you're better off by testing the trunk, as it will also
help polishing the next stable version.

You can already use KDE+Opensync trunk by defining kaddressbook
and korganizer a Directory resource. Make a dir (like i did 
$HOME/.pim/contacts and $HOME/.pim/calendar) and assign those
paths to new resources.

Then configure the opensync group so that the file-sync plugin
dir with correct object type points to that directory:

[tuju@wasa]~/.opensync/group1/1% cat file-sync.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config version="1.0">
  <Resources>
    <Resource>
      <Enabled>1</Enabled>
      <Formats>
        <Format>
          <Name>file</Name>
        </Format>
      </Formats>
      <ObjType>contact</ObjType>
      <Path>/var/tuju/pim/contacts</Path>
    </Resource>
  </Resources>
</config>


Well, I had to move it under /var temporarily to see if
my NFS $HOME is causing trouble, but it was not.

I also have E71 and it syncs successfully with the current
trunk - as long as it falls to slow-sync and I encounter 
these problems:

  http://opensync.org/ticket/882
  http://opensync.org/ticket/883


I think those are being worked on already so it would be 
good if you could join to the KDE+Trunk+E71 testers so that
we can cross-confirm the problems we may still encounter
later on.

I've installed Opensync to Fedora 9 with RPMS, you did not
mention your distro but I think it would be good if we can
get pkg repos running for few distros and focus on actual 
testing and not the installation which *is* laborious to do
manually.

Br,

Tuju

I _could_ live with two-way sync. That is not a shopstopper.

In that case I will look into KDE-PIM in KDE 4.1 and see if it is in a
usable state (it was not the last time I tried).

Is 0.38 considered reliable for everyday use? I understand that 0.22
was buggy but I prefer buggy to dataloss. The wiki states that the
0.3x branch is for developers, which I am not.

Sounds possible, but expect to see my whimpering with my tail between
my legs when I get stuck. I'm an engineer, not a software developer!

Those do not seem to be showstoppers, either.

I would like to help test trunk, but the last time that I tried to
install it was a two-day affair and did not end in success.

Currently I am using Kubuntu as Fedora >=6 would not install on my
Dell Inspiron. I do _not_ like OpenSuse (too many KDE mods), though if
it makes like easier I would have no problem giving Mandriva a whirl.
