I had a similar requirement to disable alarms from a specific sync'd calendar (for the same "midnight wake up" problem). I didn't find a friendly way to do it so I ended up making a little Python script which I run after doing a manual sync. I've made it available to download here: http://www.projectenormous.com/stuff/clearalarms.py.txt It's for my own use so I've made no attempt to make the process user friendly. You'll need to install python and python-alarm. It needs to be run as root. You'll also need to change the CalendarID in the sql statement to match your calendar. You can find that from the calendardb (which is in /home/user/.calendar) using the sqlite3 command line tool (or something more friendly if you like): sqlite3 /home/user/.calendar/calendardb "SELECT * FROM calendars" The process may be a little over the top for your needs so If somebody has a more user friendly way to achieve this I'd be delighted to find out. It does work though. I've glossed over a lot of the detail there because I don't know how much you already know. Feel free to ask for more help if you need it.

Running a script after MfE syncs
Hello, I'd asked this once before but got no response. I'm going to risk the wrath of posting again just in case it was missed my the one person who may be able to help. I need to automatically run a script after Mail For Exchange finishes a sync; does anybody have any pointers as to how I might do that please? Many Thanks, Ed. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Calling a script after MfE sync
Hello, I've been trying to find a way to not get alarms set when I sync with a specific calendar. I've ended up writing a little sql script which will remove them from the calendar's sqlite database which I can run after a manual sync. What I'd like to do is have that script run automatically after a sync happens (even if it's an automatic sync). I'm guessing I might be able to use a dbus service file, either by replacing the one which runs the sync with one which runs some script to run the sync followed by my db update script or a new one to run something when the sync happens. I'm not really sure where to start though; Does it sound feasible? How can I find out which dbus messages and executables/services are involved in the Mfe exchange process?

Source Code Availability
Hello, I sort of (possibly naively) expected to be able to see the source code for anything that is available in any of the maemo.org repositories but, unless I missing something, that doesn't seem to be the case. Some packages in maemo.org > packages have a link to the source, some don't. Am I looking in the wrong place or is making source available not a requirement for submission to the repositories? (I'll admit at this stage that I've not looked into the repository submission process yet).

Re: [maemo-devel] List emails subject prefix

Lack of screen is space is actually one of the reasons I like the prefix. If the whole subject line isn't visible on the screen one can still tell roughly what the mail relates to. It makes subject lines like "Help-build failure on ma..." a little less distressing (for me at least!)

Sorry Aldon, I must apologise. I was amazed at that response at first but having read it back I noted the sarcasm. Obviously a little too subtle for me in my sleep deprived state!

[maemo-devel] List emails subject prefix
Hello, I feel a little cheeky asking this when I've only just joined the list but I was wondering if anybody else thinks it is a good idea to have mails to this list (and the other maemo lists) prefix the subject line with the name of the list. This is a technique used on most other lists I subscribe to and can be done automatically by Mailman (using the subject prefix option in the list personality settings). It is a great help to those of us subscribed to several different lists that we access via different clients. I have manually set the subject of this post as an example. Any takers?
