Hi
The context to my questions is the project I started about integrating
syncevolution in TDE.
I finished the basic plugin part and would like to write the platform
part, which seems to use dbus from within the plugin to provide password
read/write in the tdewallet.
1. Question
what would be the best place to start reading about using dbus from
within trinity? What is the preferred library to use for the future - it
says dbus-1-tqt is qt4 bindings backport?
I guess the dbus-tqt should serve my needs as I'm targeting the TDE
wallet, but still I would appreciate some advise.
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/dbus-tqt/
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/dbus-1-tqt/
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/kdbusnotification/
2. Question
For Calendar/Todo/Memo and Addressbook we hit some issue in syncevolution
that child sends via dbus the final sync report message to the parent but
the return message does not result in the defined callback and both
parent and child are stuck. Patrick Ohly from Syncevolution is looking
into it but I think asking here is worth in this case.
Are you aware of some side effects in DBus context when used in Trinity?
Are there some recommendations - examples, application code?
thanks in advance
dbus-tqt is older TQt implementation of dbus communication. Its
capabilities are limited (does not support some dbus data types). AFAIK,
it is used only in kpowersave and HAL communication in tdebase.
dbus-1-tqt is a newer and more sophisticated TQt implementation of dbus
communication. It is better integrated with TQt objects - for example dbus
signals => TQt signals. For new code I certainly suggest to use
dbus-1-tqt. As an example of the use dbus-1-tqt may well serve
tdepowersave. Hovewer, I do not know if this example will be sufficient
for your needs.
