The methods related to sync username/password were just called
get/setUsername/Password(), with additional check/savePassword()
methods. The savePassword() method clashed with a semantically
different method for arbitrary passwords (as pointed out by clang
2.9), so let's make it more clear that one set of methods specifically
is for the sync username/password.
Selecting active sources during a sync or status check was done with a
combination of setting a sync mode via a source config filter and
setting a list of active sources. Now the SyncConfig supports a source
filter which is applied to all sources and source filters for each
source. The latter override the former.
This is powerful enough to start syncs with full control over which
sources are active in which mode, as described in the new D-Bus API.
As part of this patch, the command line semantic is implemented
entirely using a combination of different source filters.
The intention is to get rid of the historic and inconsistent
naming of some classes and their corresponding files:
* EvolutionSyncClient = class derived from Funambol's SyncClient,
* SyncEvolutionConfig = SyncEvolution's config
With the strict 'namespace SyncEvo' and the syncevo/ path prefix for
most header files it is no longer necessary to have "SyncEvolution" or
"Evolution" in the names. This patch thus renames as follows:
EvolutionSyncClient => SyncContext
EvolutionSmartPtr => SmartPtr
SyncEvolutionCmdline => Cmdline
SyncEvolutionConfig => SyncConfig
SyncEvolutionUtil => util
The former EvolutionSyncClient always had a role that went beyond just
running a sync, for example it also provided config access. With the
upcoming server support it also won't be just a client. Thus the new
name "SyncContext".
The 'syncevo/' prefix is used throughout the code now.
removed whenever the prefix made it clear that the file belongs
to SyncEvolution. This helps finding incorrect include paths.
Quotes should be used exclusively for SyncEvolution files which don't
have a specific prefix yet (test.h, config.h) to help identifying
them.
Added syncevo/declarations.h, which has
This is now used for all SyncEvolution source files, except
for the GTK UI, which is written in plain C. In the library
it helps to avoid name clashes.
The reason for using defines instead of spelling out "namespace SyncEvo"
is twofold:
1. if that should ever become necessary, it is easier to
rename the namespace via configure options by changing
the define
2. editors don't indent the whole file content
--keyring|-k
Save or retrieve passwords from the GNOME keyring when modifying the
configuration or running a synchronization. Note that using this option
applies to *all* passwords in a configuration, so setting a single
password as follows moves the other passwords into the keyring, if
they were not stored there already:
--keyring --configure --sync-property proxyPassword=foo
When passwords were stored in the keyring, their value is set to "-"
in the configuration. This means that when running a synchronization
without the --keyring argument, the password has to be entered
interactively.
The implementation introduces new virtual methods for password handling
to properties and iterates over all properties to activate that
special behavior.
Another change is no longer to use cached strings in the SyncEvolutionConfig
to store retrieved passwords. Instead, they are saved as the filter in
the config node. This could help their users to get them but not flush
to files. The main purpose of this change is to make it flexible
to meet the requirements of dynamically added passwords in the backend.
