Sync 0.0.02
After a long while I’ve finally found some time to continue a bit on Sync, one of my currently more-or-less active projects. This is the second version of it which I realease now and as you can see, there will be at least 98 more till I reach 0.1… heh, no, just joking. Still Sync is not usable yet, and by this I don’t mean “not usable” like in “Debian testing is not usable”, it is really not usable right now. In this release I just fixed a few bugs, started implementing the GConf configuration and added a german translation file for the whole interface. The interface-code itself is pretty much done, it now needs the background functions. At the moment I’m searching for a library or a tool which can get/set the calendar and addressbook entries of a Bluetooth device, so that I can start implementing the core-features. Besides I’m still working on a hcitool-integration into Sync, so I don’t depend on the binaries anymore and can get rid of the ugly piping. Also I need a way to access the device’s filesystem (r/w) so the file backupping functions will work – though I hardly believe that anybody would do backups from the local machine to a device over bluetooth, but anyway. So, what’s missing? Errr… ah, the GStreamer-integration. I need that for playing accoustic signals on events, though this won’t be such a big deal to hack-in.
Altogether it’s nothing special, though the Bluetooth crap will be a pain in the arse to implement, I think – but however, here’s the link for downloading Sync 0.0.02. Feel free to test/extend/whatever it, it’s all GPL
