In the syncevolution.org packages, it is under /usr/bin/synccompare. It's a perl script that takes two database dumps and compares them, similar to a diff between text files. It gives you additional information what exactly changed during a sync (for example: ADR in a contact changed from foo to bar) instead of merely saying "one contact changed". > Can I use it or debug by another command line? You can call it with "synccompare <dump A> <dump B>" where each parameter is one of the ~/.cache/syncevolution/*/*.before or *.after directories. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.syncevolution.org/mailman/listinfo/syncevolution
