Desrosiers) Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2002 06:38:55 -0500 (EST) Subject: Mailing list for pilot-mailsync Message-ID: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have just created a mailing list for pilot-mailsync, which is now under new maintainership from Jochen Garcke (previously Hollis Blanchard). For those that don't know what pilot-mailsync is, pilot-mailsync transfers mail to and from your PalmOS handheld's Mail application. It uses locally-installed sendmail (or equivalent) or SMTP to send mail from the Palm. It uses c-client and so is capable of transferring mail to the Palm from a variety of sources, including local mbox and mh mail files and POP3 and IMAP servers. To join the mailing list, point your browser to the following link: http://lists.pilot-mailsync.sourcefubar.net/mailman/listinfo/pilot-mailsync From there, you can find all of the archives and subscription info. Also, pilot-mailsync has publically-accessible bug tracking, which you can find by pointing your browser to the following link: http://bugs.sourcefubar.net/ ..and selecting 'pilot-mailsync' from the upper-right listing. You can also view the source code directly, in two different ways, by pointing your browser to the following two sites: http://pilot-mailsync.sourcefubar.net/index.cgi/ http://chora.sourcefubar.net/horde/chora/cvs.php?rt=pilot-mailsync The homepage for pilot-mailsync has also changed, and is now: http://wissrech.iam.uni-bonn.de/people/garcke/pms/ d. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE97zrSkRQERnB1rkoRAs14AKCGrWiku2PqWY+22ks8qqsGf4xucgCgwJAE GbKnwD7nwk/x0KZ+OcCKkjM= =pTZx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From hacker at gnu-designs.com Wed Dec 25 06:45:49 2002 From: hacker at gnu-designs.com (David A. Desrosiers) Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2002 06:45:49 -0500 (EST) Subject: pilot-link 0.11.6, "Torrent of Lucidity" Message-ID: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone. I've just released pilot-link 0.11.6 last night. This release is mostly a maintenance release, but there are quite a few fixes, new features and enhancements. Please use this release over all others where possible. Here's a very quick rundown of the things new/fixed/remaining in this release. Some New Stuff - -------------- * New pilot-archive sample conduit to send archived ToDo records to STDOUT as CSV-formatted entries. * Deprecated pilot-mail, in favor of pilot-mailsync. pilot-mail remains, as an example to other conduit authors. * pilot-link 0.11.6 will now cleanly build on OSX 10.x.x systems * pilot-xfer --time feature added to sync Palm time to desktop time * New install-todo conduit (Robert A. Kaplan) * New install-expenses conduit * Cleaned up pilot_connect() to report better error conditions, and propose possible solutions to solving them for general users * Added HOST_OS detection and linked into each conduit, to assist debugging * Added Python test script (Nicholas Piper) * Added support for ElectricFence malloc() debugging library * ..and more things I forgot. Check the ChangeLog for the latest. Some Bug Fixes: - -------------- * Fix for failures on usb:// notation use * Fix for missing pi_close() elements * Fix for installing files larger than available space on device * Fix for autoconf 2.1x and 2.5x compatibility * Fix for TCL version detection in pilot-debug * Fix for CreatorID output in dlpsh * Fix to allow gcc 3.2 builds * Fix for pilot_connect() that was losing the client socket * Fix for install-memos malloc() bug, -t missing argument bug, title truncation bug. Some Known Problems: - ------------------- * FreeBSD "hangs" on USB synchronization (this may not be a pilot-link bug, as serial, IR works using the same code structures). It doesn't actually "hang", though it looks like a hang. Communication and tickle packets are being sent and received, but handshaking is in NeverNeverLand. I'll be focusing on this in January. * snprintf() calls fail on Irix 6.4 systems * Improper getopt_long propagation on Irix 6.4 * autoconf/automake 2.5x problems on AIX * install-memo doesn't strip ^M from files before syncronization, doesn't detect duplicate files being sync'd to the same device. * On some systems, when readline isn't found, the C++ configuration test will fail. I have a fix, but it wasn't deployed when I released 0.11.6. It will be in 0.11.7. Reporting Bugs: - -------------- If you find a bug in pilot-link, please log into the bugtracker found at http://bugs.pilot-link.org and check for any existing bug reports that might be similar to yours. If there are none, please report your bug, and remember to be as detailed as possible when filing your report. It will help us fix the issues faster. d. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+CZpwkRQERnB1rkoRAjn+AKDKkR87vtcaY69pUZh4dp3uupdnRQCfeVUq rVvHzW3U6XOKphoGRCXK9xw= =18er -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
