So you're using a vanilla libtar?

Wow, if you would, please submit these scripts. I can put them under a contrib/ directory.

Take a look at tools/brecsum.cc in the latest CVS. That program creates its own parser class, and just runs a SHA1 sum on the raw record data. If you're looking for raw data, that's probably the easiest program to hack. The btool program uses the RecordParser helper templates, which takes one of the record classes (such as Contact and Calendar) and creates a parser or builder out of it. This is fundamental to what btool does, so it's probably harder to hack around it. > i haven't figured out how to put things onto my phone yet, though. There is an example program under examples/ which lets you add contacts from the command line, if you're looking from something programmable. If you're looking to sync, you'll need opensync 0.22, and a suitable set of plugins, such as the barry plugin and the evolution plugin. > oh, and forgetting that i did > "echo Y > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_snoop" caused about 13G > of data in /var/log in just a few days. :) i stripped most of it out. It does get quite verbose. :-) - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
