Just a heads up that I plan to push this today if testing goes well. And it will be "local:<>" as Ross suggested (no slashes). ___ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

Yup makes sense. It is worth to list all the apps which uses eds for address-book and calendar and notify the changes to them or directly make changes there.

The immediate problem is that I'm trying to move us toward XDG base directories instead of lumping everything under ~/.evolution (see my previous post about that). So a local source group with a base URI of: file:///home/mbarnes/.evolution/calendar/local will become: file:///home/mbarnes/.local/share/evolution/calendar But we've been getting bit by these absolute paths for years. If a user backs up his accounts and then restores them under a different username, the URI is no longer valid and things break. So rather than pile on yet more workarounds and migration cruft, I'm trying to fix the root problem by eliminating the need to specify a file path at all. Do you know of any applications that actually check for "file://"? Tracker maybe?

No, I'm not touching MAPI, only trying to fix the absolute path problem with the "On This Computer" group. Maybe instead of using "file://", which already has an established meaning, we should just make one up so the real absolute file system path is implicit. Perhaps "local://", so e_source_get_uri() would return "local://<>" and that would fully describe an "On This Computer" source in the context of a given source list.

Hi, I'm not much sure what you are trying to do, but even you probably know, the e_source_get_uri uses ESourceGroup's base uri and a relative uri of the ESource to build the full uri, if not built/set an absolute uri on the ESource already. Are you going to change ESourceGroup's base_uri to contain only the protocol for all the ESourceGroups? If yes, then I think it's not the best thing, because for example evolution-mapi uses as base uri "mapi://u...@server/", and each account you have configured and enabled in the preferences has its own group. It cannot be distinguished just by "mapi://", because for example (I believe) every user has its default calendar named "Calendar".

[Evolution-hackers] Base URI for "On This Computer"
Is there any reason why we can't just use "file://" as the base URI for the "On This Computer" source group? No other group uses that scheme, so it seems we could identify the "On This Computer" group as "file://" as easily as "file://home/mbarnes/.evolution/calendar/local". Plus it would solve a whole class of migration issues and help make moving to XDG base directories easier. I can't find anything that actually uses the source group's base URI to locate files -- everything I see uses a hard-coded path, which actually works out well for me in this case. ___ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
