You could look at the SyncEvolution docs at http://syncevolution.org, I think. But basically, SyncEvolution is a SyncML client. Somewhere, you need a SyncML server. You can either install something like Funambol to set up your own (major hassle, but doable), or get an account on services like ScheduleWorld (non-free) or myFunambol (free). Since you have no GUI, you need to use syncevolution from the command line. Use syncevolution --configure (with the appropriate parameters, for example scheduleworld to install the default scheduleworld profile) to create a configuration. Once created, it might be possible to set configuration options (including username and password) with more command-line usage, but it's probably easier to just go to ~/.config/syncevolution and open the config files you find in subdirectories there in some text editor. Fairly easy to figure out what to tweak. >> Wasn't sure what URI scheme to use to let the user configure which >> calendar to sync, for now I've settled on "id:<calendar ID>", and >> defaulting to the same calendar that Nokia PC Suite would sync to. > So I have no idea what you mean here... It's about one of the config options ("evolutionsource"). If you've used the calendar program, you may have noticed that you can choose what calendar to insert events and stuff into, even create new calendars. (The "N900" and "Private" calendars exist by default.) Only one such calendar can be synced, and you can configure which one (or be happy with the default, which happens to be the "N900" calendar) > Lets start with a simple "howto"... assuming this allows syncing against > evolution on the desktop Technically, it does not. You can, however, install syncevolution on your desktop to sync Evolution with the myFunambol web service, for example, and then install syncevolution on the N900 to sync it, too, with myFunambol. That will allow you to keep your desktop evolution and the N900 in sync. >From what I understand, the syncevolution developers are working on implementing a desktop SyncML server, which would allow you to cut the middleman. I don't think they're quite there yet, though. For now, syncevolution is only the client. Since I keep my stuff on web services anyway (and don't use evolution), it's perfect for me, though. > and also assuming a linux only setup (no PC-Suite) how > do I find out what values to put in what fields in what desktop apps? On the desktop, you could probably just use the sync-ui frontend to sync Evolution or whatever against your preferred SyncML server. Might need to create something equally user-friendly for the N900... _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
