Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar
 

Good point. I can confirm that this was an issue (and would still have been an issue if you did not point it out).

I'll take that into account during the re-implementation of this feature.
This of course will complicate a bit the management of the first sync, but it doesn't seem too hard to manage :)

thanks.

Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar
 

I know there's a new version out soon, but wanted to just chime in and say the current one doesn't seem to signal to bring up on-demand internet connections before attempting the scheduled sync, which throws up a bunch of error boxes once a day :-)

Also, with the connection up, and only one of several profiles disabled, I get a number of boxes saying 'Profile is disabled!' when pressing the sync all button. These appear after the progress bar goes all the way to the end.

@tomchiverton:

- the error boxes should not appear anymore with the new version in the works. It will however not bring up an internet connection

- I will try to reproduce the second bug you reported, and fix it accordingly. Thanks for the report!

Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar
 

While I'm pleased the annoying popup is gone, what happens now when the sync time is reached is that it silently fails to work (if you have connect-on-demand on, like must ppl probably have).
This is a bad experience - is there just no Python binding for bringing up the connection (and waiting for it) ? Or do you need some assistance in that area ? I cna go digging through the Python docs for you if so :-)

Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar
 

@tomchiverton:

OK, the bug about disabled profiles is confirmed, and I just fixed it.
If you have the time and you are willing to dig out the doc for bringing up a connection from within Python, I'm more than interested, thanks!

I will release the "sync" version of Erminig in a few hours. Please don't expect tons of updates/new features, since this is more to get everybody on the same version to facilitate the debugging.

Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar
 

Hello all,

version 0.2.12 has just been uploaded to extras-devel.

There aren't tons of new features nor bug fixes. This release is more a collection of all patches floating around, plus a few bug fixes of my own. Please note that now the package is properly optified (we may as well prepare ourselves to the transition to extras-testing :))

the Changelog:

* FIX: Do not try to sync disabled relationships
* FIX: More robust parsing of ISO8601 dates (patch by thomasvs)
* FIX: Silent errors in alarmed mode (patch by Jaffa)
* FIX: Remote source not populated (patch by mdengler)
* NEW: Initial framework for alarms sync (patch by geni4u)
* NEW: Added bug-tracker URL
* NEW: Proper optification

I'm well aware that there are still bugs with the synchronization, so please report any bug to the bug-tracker (https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=erminig)!

Alarm sync is not functional as of yet, but the initial framework is there thanks to geni4u.

Now that I'm well back in the loop (at last!), I will be much more reactive with bug reports and releases, so let's get this software in shape and ready for general availability :)

Yeah! Thank you!

Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar
 

Apparently, this should work, but I get an unsupported method type error (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...366#post915366).

import dbus
self.bus = dbus.SystemBus();
self.icd2_obj = self.bus.get_object('com.nokia.icd2', '/com/nokia/icd2')
self.icd2_obj.connect_to_signal('state_sig', self.icd2_state_listener, 'com.nokia.icd2', byte_arrays=True)
self.icd2_iface = dbus.Interface(self.icd2_obj, 'com.nokia.icd2')
self.icd2_iface.connect_req(dbus.UInt32(1))#ICD_CO NNECTION_FLAG_UI_EVENT(0x8000)

def icd2_state_listener(self, *args):
print "icd2_state_listener got args:\n";
print args


There are some great guys on http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=42588, more docs on DBUS are http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus.../tutorial.html and the various calls and signals you get back are here http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...#D-Bus_signals should you need 'em. For instance there is a 'show_conn_dlg' you could call if connect_req timesout (it puts up a dialogue).

@tomchiverton:

cool, thank you for the pointers! I will give them a shot and look what I can do with them!

Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar
 

I think it may be better to set up a listener for the connection. That way Erminig can sync when a connection is established, just like e-mail is checked. A setting would come in handy so that it wouldn't sync too often, for example: sync when a connection is detected, but not more than once per hour.

I prefer my apps not to connect automatically, because of my limited data plan and possible roaming.
