-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 FYI,
There are now tools to set up a custom sync[1] and custom authentication[2] server, which is much more than I hoped for. I managed to set up the sync server itself, and have not tried yet to set up authentication too. It is more of a mess (about:config involved) than it was for the old system, but that was to be expected. If IceCat wanted to imporve something on that front, it could provide a better UX for that. best regards, jwi [1]: https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html [2]: https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-fxa.html On 05.03.2014 21:15, Jonas Wielicki wrote: > Dear Icecat team, > > I wonder what your plans are regarding the new sync feature of > mozilla firefox, which will have impact from firefox 29 onwards > (discussion is e.g. here[1]). > > I feel that this “feature” severely limits the freedom of the > user; One seems to be forced to mozillas services, they even state > that they have not much intention to allow custom servers: > >> * In general, Custom Server support for FxA Sync in Fx29 be >> somewhere between a "non-goal" and "best effort" * If you're >> already connected to Sync, then in Fx29, your set up should >> continue to work. * Otherwise, it is subject to other above >> restrictions for Legacy Sync users. * Custom servers should in >> theory be possible with FxA Sync, but with a different >> architecture (Token server + Sync 1.5). > (from [2]) > > Do you intend to take that feature as is, disable sync completely > or will you keep the old sync functionality alive? > > regards, Jonas Wielicki > > [1]: https://github.com/posativ/weave-minimal/issues/26 [2]: > https://wiki.mozilla.org/User_Services/Sync/Transition_To_FxA_Sync#Custom_Servers > > > > > - -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJUfA3jAAoJEMBiAyWXYliKwd4P/iHvLQ8H++0CIukkWU8jewbg obOp9/wdVwIvfCm1IgXoWuJa3ghupRQZ1xfeeccibc0S1RGuQ/uBMgsRvXjiGzT1 uPVcaz5cTzsHI32f5mFmaH0I9n4otcyRGvZbLudqNi7SLLBrvKp/pUksjffezRKV HORGNGcgksg5uKVN2We1HJJxntZezioDyYZWB5jFRlhRToq5zZfvxuAKMCvisJDP O8LKOf7GlBKg4wz3B1a33PUnySQEpcDve+NPKojYFn/83OmUP47fzePdBBvsI7a6 CAmzR52JbtJaXKquKtqVaNVp2d6g4PgtF9vw7XBi6cBVFLvIoVNFP1fYXIcEB72Y /slt7GdC0oOx182G5BtKuAsOHgukTADTg7Eol5YJcUqwmf1dz7FKmCH+cHsPk1On Bn1vUeaNuPHHBUEit7cvcvQ0twLcNzEBqStto21ZVahTDDYYkUFzaktQECAyUE2h Lh8ntyUYOKtsGSZJL7Y5gPJC7dL0qvEnqaUCqfGrNpGxgaBp17xYUls7r7kSd6Ct IZRnwBKHHFj8bsUnkyFI1kPsrkI616MwcoCEn80jDiEgBKWfmcOMyIbECO+8krs4 34+XcvHj5lKVo5KLyEQpaXZ/6VsC19Q5XZw3q1bYc+hn9ZQWoVN6sx6Yzi0VkJzt JpsZihdYmuKCtQKGaB0F =GjCD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
