When syncing memos with a peer which also supports iCalendar 2.0 as
data format, the engine will now pick iCalendar 2.0 instead of
converting to/from plain text. The advantage is that some additional
properties like start date and categories can also be synchronized.
The code is a lot simpler, too, because the EDS specific iCalendar 2.0
<-> text conversion code can be removed.
A quick-and-dirty solution for enabling phone number summaries when
creating contact databases in the PIM Manager: let the EDS backend
recognize the special UIDs used by the PIM Manager and then hard-code
the minimal set of summary fields and indexed fields which allow
executing the E_CONTACT_TEL, E_BOOK_QUERY_EQUALS_NATIONAL_PHONE_NUMBER
query quickly.
A proper solution would use a new EDS function for parsing ESource
defaults from a string and then providing these defaults to the
backend from the PIM Manager.
Also note that configuring the EDS system address book must be covered
elsewhere, because it wouldn't be correct for SyncEvolution as only
one of many clients to change the configuration of that.
To enable the special support, add the following section to
share/evolution-data-server-3.6/rw-sources/system-address-book.source:
[Backend Summary Setup]
SummaryFields=phone
IndexedFields=phone,phone
This patch adds new function calls to code shared by syncecal and syncebook,
so we have to add libebook-contacts to both to avoid link errors.
The backends had SYNCEVOLUTION_LIBS in their _DEPENDENCIES entries,
which is wrong because SYNCEVOLUTION_LIBS must include -lrt (which
can't be a dependency).
Fixed by depending on libsyncevolution.la directly.
As mentioned by Tino Keitel on the mailing list, some libs and
executables were only implicitly linked against libraries that they
called directly. This happened to work by chance because these libraries
ended up in the running executable anyway, due to indirect loading.
To catch such problems, the "make installcheck" was extended:
dpkg-shlibdeps is run, if available, and the error output is scanned
for the messages which indicate that a symbol is used without linking
to the right library (example output below).
Had to fix quite a few _LIBADD lines to pass the test.
Some exceptions are allowed:
- libsmltk depends on the caller providing SySync logging support.
- libneon is intentionally not linked explicitly for syncevolution.org
binaries, to make resulting binaries work with GNUTLS and OpenSSL.

All but toplevel Makefile.am are replaced with their non-recursive
counterparts. The generation of configure.in was removed (and thus
configure-{pre,post}.in are also removed) in favor of configure.ac
and m4 macros adding backend specific configure parts.
Version number is generated like in old build system.
There are still many things to improve, but for now there are no
immediate regressions. AUTOTOOLS-TODO contains a list of possible
improvements and fixes. AUTOTOOLS-TESTING contains what was tested
with current build system (configure flags, make options).
