[SyncEvolution] N900 - Mozilla Lightning / Sunbird Support via Bluetooth?

Hello,

This project looks very interesting, and hopefully what I'm looking for.

I was wondering if there is a way to synchronise calendar data
primarily, from an N900 over Bluetooth to a Linux desktop running
Mozilla Lightning or Sunbird?

On my old Nokia phone, an N82, I used OpenSync to achieve this, but even
then it strictly only supports Mozilla Sunbird and not Mozilla
Lightning, in my experience.

Thanks, I'd appreciate the help.

 Regarding CalDAV, I now (finally) have permission to make

 backends for that available. I'm writing a README as we speak and will
 push the code once that's done. More about that in a separate email.
 
 I'm mentioning it in this context because synchronization could be
 simplified to:
 - run Darwin Calendar Server
 - connect Lightning to it
 - synchronize N900-Calendar Server with SyncEvolution

That would be awesome.

Thanks,
Xav

 Can you elaborate on that? Which events are handled differently?

It's been a while since I tested this, but I recall that one of the issues was
that if I removed one occurrence from a series in Evolution, it - naturally
enough - showed as blank in Evolution, but still appeared in Lightning. I can do
a bit of testing in the next day or so to give you more detail.

Please let me know what you'd need in the way of logs etc.

Would that mean that it wouldn't be necessary to have Evolution itself
installed? I currently have it there mostly as a means for SyncEvolution to do
its job.

Currently, though, I can't sync tasks with DCS. I very rarely use them anyway,
so no problem for me, but might be for others.

I have found I can just point Lightning to my Evolution calendar file
and it shows correctly. Evolution ignores appointments added in
Lightning, though.

I got the opportunity today to do some testing. Here are the notes I made.


Create appointment with six recurrences in total. Using Evolution.
  25 Feb to 1 April.

Attempt to remove one occurrence in Evolution.

  It won't let me. I get an unknown error.

Change one occurrence in Evolution.

  Make it movable does not remove the original fixed event from the series. 
  It creates a single separate event, which initially is a duplicate of one of 
  the occurrences.



Create appointment with six recurrences in total. Using Lightning.
  12 March to 23 April.

Remove one occurrence (9 April) in Lightning.

  Occurrence has disappeared in Lightning.
  It's still displaying in Evolution. But if I go into the Edit recurrence 
  dialog, the exception is listed correctly.

Change one occurrence (26 March -same day but different time) in Lightning.
  Displays correctly in Evolution. Displays correctly in Lightning.

Change one occurrence (from 19 March to 20 March - same time) in Lightning.
  Displays correctly in Evolution and Lightning.

Evolution vers. 2.28.3 (Lucid) and 2.30.3 (Maverick) behave the same.


When synced to E63 phone:
  9 April event (removed in Lightning) still displayed.
  Moved events display correctly.

Deleted both series of events from Evolution and synced phone again.
  First series (created in Evolution and which had no modified events) 
  deleted OK. Second series (created in Lightning) deleted only the 
  modified events and left the unchanged ones on the phone.

---
To summarise, Lightning interprets a specific recurrence as deleted where
Evolution and E63 don't.

You might recall that I had some errors with recurring events created on the
E63. For these reasons, I prefer not to use recurring events.
