Folks,
Here is the major update to sync-engine that I have been using for the
last few days. The basic details are in the excerpt from the changelog
below.
Have fun
John.

IMPORTANT - IF USING AN EARLIER VERSION THAN THIS, EXCEPT FOR config.xml
PLEASE DELETE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR ~/.synce DIRECTORY INCLUDING THE
partnerships SUBDIRECTORY . AND RECREATE YOUR PARTNERSHIPS.
What's changed? Lots. The partnership code has been considerably
overhauled with a view to getting rid of some serious flaws in the old
code. The partnership concept is now split into two parts: the
partnership on the phone and the 'binding' on the host. Both must exist
and match to create a partnership. It is now possible to bind
successfully with multiple devices (although not at once). Syncing can
only occur with a bound partnership. This process is transparent to the
user.
Unfortunately the bug with deletion of Exchange Server partnerships is
still present -the workaround is to create the partnership with
sync-engine first.
We now have per-partnership configuration! - Look at
configure_bindings.py in the tools directory.
delete_partnership.py no longer needs the user to phaff about with
running list_partnerships.py and grabbing long hex numbers. It directly
presents the user with a list selectable by index.
select_partnership.py has gone, it is no longer needed with the new
code. Selection will occur automatically, properly, when the device is
connected.
DTPT has now been fully implemented in sync-engine and should be turned
on by default, and should 'just work' for WM5 and WM6. It can be turned
off globally in config.xml, or on a per-partnership basis with
configure_bindings.py.
Some bugs fixed in the OpenSync 0.3x conversion code, but it continues
to be experimental at this time. Opensync 0.2x should be generally
reliable.
The item data pathway has been de-convoluted and made a lot more obvious
and cleaner. Look at syncdb.py for more info. I will try and document
this a bit later.
