Comments on the patch, please update: -usage = """usage: %prog http://localhost:<port>/<path> +usage = """usage: %prog http://localhost:<port>/<path -u username -p password> Note that the options were inserted inside <path>. Besides, they shouldn't be listed here. The Python modules does that for us. Please use usage: %prog <options> http://localhost:<port>/<path> The documentation for the new options also needs a clarification: help = "The user name accepted by the server" should become: help = "The user name checked by by the server when an unknown client connects.

Any comments? We cannot notify the client. Printing a message to the screen in syncevo-dbus-server or writing into a log also doesn't help much. Therefore I think we need meaningful names so that a server user can list configs and recognize which ones where created for him for which device. I agree that renaming the config has issues, but it seems to me to be the least evil one. Perhaps we can also rename the logdir used by the initial successful session at the end of the session? Note that the Synthesis engine should better be shut down at that point, because it would continue using the old log dir path. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.moblin.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug. _______________________________________________ Syncevolution-issues mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution-issues
