My_Documents mangled UTF8
by deloptes 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hi, in the course of vcard and the encoding issue I ask herewith for help to solve another annoying utf8 encoding issue. Problem: Attached images show that My_Documents when language set to bg gets mangled. Unfortunately looking into this I found out it is mangled in /opt/trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/Desktop/My_Documents I tested in fresh install of TDE, but after first logout/login it changed I workaround it by fixing the file and removing the write permissions. I don't know where to look for the system:/ entry. regards

SyncEvolution again trying to finalize the work
by deloptes 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

Hi, after few months of testing, I do not see any issues in the TDE backends/plugins. I want to finalize this work and upload the code in some way. I asked SyncEvolution about it [1,2] while trying to build 1.5.1 against synthesis. This required version which is provided in debian sid. Unfortunately I hit a bug [3] and I think I'll try against syncevolution from git as the patch for [3] is still to be uploaded for 1.5.1. What I want to discuss with you based on [1] is if you think it is wise to provide syncevolution-whatever-trinity package(s), which for the moment I think is the best and fast (but not optimal) solution. I will call this short term solution - STS. I think it would be more complex to push each distro to include support for tdepim in syncevolution, but in long term it is the best solution. I will call this long term solution - LTS. However I think there are still few places to improve in the code (the calendar part mostly) and there are some issues in the underlaying libkcal or whatever handles the todo's subject/description when utf-8 and/or quoted content. In fact I dropped support for cal v1 in the plugins as it looks broken and I did not have time to deal with it. SyncEvolution does convert internally a v1 cal into v2 just excellent. So the plan for the STS would be to modify the vendors build scripts (I know only debian ... so debian/*) to produce the syncevolution packages with trinity extention, which will be build with the tdepim/wallet support on top of the vendors configure options. Those packages should replace the vendors own packages and thus provide the tdepim support. The LTS would easy the way that we'll have tdepim/wallet in the mainline, but perhaps we should still provide packages to overwrite the distros shipped package. Based on this what are you thinking? Thanks in advance [1] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.syncevolution/5396 [2] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.syncevolution/5393 [3] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=824426

dbus vs gdbus in TDE
by deloptes 28 Jun '16

Hi another question that popped up when working on syncevolution plugins was the future of dbus. https://www.mail-archive.com/syncevolution%40syncevolution.org/msg05071.html It looks like it is getting replaced by gdbus and I found that libraries are linked to dbus-1 for some reason I do not understand. Example ldd /opt/trinity/lib/libkaddressbook.so | grep dbus libdbus-1-tqt.so.0 => /usr/lib/libdbus-1-tqt.so.0 (0x00007fb69ebb2000) libdbus-1.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3 (0x00007fb69d452000) ldd /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkaddressbookpart.so | grep dbus libdbus-1-tqt.so.0 => /usr/lib/libdbus-1-tqt.so.0 (0x00007f61da129000) libdbus-1.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3 (0x00007f61d89c9000) What are the plans and what can we do in future? thanks and regards

test target and code
by deloptes 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Hi again, I'm sorry to bother you again with this, but I asked once how I can add a testing target. I started then working on this tdepim libkcal testing stuff again. I still have some issues when my "SUMMARY" or "DESCRIPTION" of event or todo are in cyrillic. Unfortunately I was/am busy at work and I lost all threads .... perhaps you know this feeling ... getting older. I also found the key to building testing targets DEB_MAKE_CHECK_TARGET=testing fakeroot debian/rules build so I think the next exercise (may be long term one) would be to revive the check/testing code laying around. I think I have a good plan 1. fix the libkcal issue "SUMMARY" - "DESCRIPTION" 2. build syncevolution deb packages for TDE 3. fix the libkcal test cases (now a lot of them fail on some date issue - perhaps because originally there was a local zoneinfo data included in the code and now it is not there) 4. start migrating testing to CMake (first in the packages I already have worked with) what do you think? regards

Hi, I would like to see Trinity on FreeBSD, so I subscribed to see what I can do. Please let me know how I can help. I run FreeBSD and can code, although I don't have a lot of experience with kernel level programming. Thanks Mark Moellering
