Package: jpilot
Version: 0.99.9.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Some of us are married, with kids, and complicated lives
involving judo, piano lessons, and all kinds of family events.
It would be nice if jpilot supported sharing a database
between two or more users.
I manage it by a klugey procedure. I symlink
from ~me/.jpilot to ~spouse/.jpilot,
and wrap jpilot in a script that
calls chgrp and chmod to make sure that all the files
in .jpilot are readable and writeable by the right group.
It would be nice to have some minor changes to jpilot
to make this cleaner.
1) File locking. And, for most purposes, the locking need not be
anything fancy. Almost always, you can tap her on the shoulder
or phone her and say "Can you pop off for a minute? I need to
enter a piano lesson." All you really need is a notification
that someone else is running jpilot. (Of course, fancy locking
or read-only modes or transactional stuff would be superb!)
2) An option where database files can be given group rw permissions,
3) An option where jpilot will automatically set the group of
database files (including new ones that it creates) to a specified group.
4) An option to select the directory in which the database resides
(but leave the preferences in ~/.jpilot).
5) A bit of help text/man page, of course.
