[Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar - Page 28 - maemo.org

lorelei | # 271 | 2010-03-24, 17:46 | Report

Hello all,

version 0.2.1 of Erminig is now available in the extras-devel repository. Please find below the Changelog:

Code:

* FIX: buttons at the bottom of the UI are inactive if no profile is
   selected
* ENH: Newly created local/remote calendars are automatically selected in the "New profile" dialog
* FIX: Removed obsolete calls in Hildon for progress bars
* FIX: Removed potential pitfall in Google action handler
* FIX: Full-day events spanning several days are now correctly stored in Google (before, the last day was chopped off)
* NEW: Command-line arguments for syncing from crontabs
* ENH: Made "Sync-one-profile" button more explicit
* NEW: Possibility to dump stack traces in terminal instead of GUI
* FIX: Don't crash if publication date of Google event is too far away in the past

If you remember this post, you may notice that not all bugs have been fixed yet, and worse, there's no support for recurring events (yet). You may wonder why bothering releasing a new version? The reason is that I won't be able to work on Erminig for a few weeks, so I wanted all the most annoying bugs to be fixed and available as soon as possible. I will also manage to put a .tar.gz of the source of Erminig somewhere, before setting up a proper RCS repository.

Even though I won't be able to work on Erminig, I will continue to monitor this thread and will also continue to provide feedback to any question/issue you may have!

A quick release note:

for those that asked for command-line arguments: they are now implemented and you can get the usage instruction by typing:

Code:

erminig -h

in the terminal.

In the meantime, enjoy this new version, and feel free to report any bug or enhancement request, preferably in maemo's bugzilla, where there's now an Erminig component!

Thanks for this update.

Sync from command line works great. Setup in alarmed, worked no problem.

One tip, I have ssh setup (for root) on my computer. To see profiles and sync, etc. commands must be run as user, not root.

*edit* I like the sync 1 icon.

lorelei - thanks for releasing the bugfix version, this fixed the problem I reported earlier and now that sync goes through without issue

feydrutha | # 274 | 2010-03-25, 09:34 | Report

Thanks lorelei! With the bug fix for that crash I am now happily synching from multiple google accounts!

I was puzzling on why an event was missing until I realized it was a recurring event..

Also, I had that bug again where creating a new profile overwrites an old one instead. It then would not sync properly, so I deleted it and started over. Works now. Unfortunately still no idea how you can reproduce this... maybe it has to do with using multiple google accounts....

Anyhow, thanks for releasing it in this "imperfect" state, as it is already very useful.

So what happens if there is an existing recurring event on the N900 calendar? Does it simply get ignored in the sync? And, is the same true for recurring events in the Google Calendar?

Thanks for the update, lorelei, but I'm still really looking forward to have support for recurring events...

I guess I'll just have to be patient :-/

I love this app

I'm waiting the source code, I want to contribute, and possibly make a port for the N5800.

(by the way, I'm new on Maemo. I'm a Python and mobile devices developer, and bought my N900 just days ago)

Since this app is mostly written in python, use should be able to grab that code from your device. The full source package is available here (via maemo build system):

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...g_0.2.1.tar.gz

That's true, but I could miss something. I'm not a Linux expert (only 1 year since I changed to Linux), so I'm not sure where are all the installed files of an application.

Thanks for the source!

I get this error, I'm using 0.2.1, latest in extras. I get this crash report when I try tu update. I've never gotten it to work.

I'm using the N900 database and my googe account.
