Thanks for reporting its on my todo now. After looking at this a bit it seems to me that there is no official 0.9.2 release yet but only a partial upgrade to get WM2005 working... So I don't know if I really should upgrade... I will see if I can reach a developer and get a statement. Thanks! Apparently WM2005 needs some packages "on top" of the normal 0.9.1 synce package (libsynce, the fake network proxy, and so on). Maybe they could be released as addon packages, without disrupting the normal synce package. (don't know if it is at all possible, plese, do ask the devs) I have an WM2005 device here now to test everything but adding the extra packages may prove a bit tricky ... I will see what I can do Did you manage to compile the packages at all? I tried to build them from source, but compilation always fails on a 'slang.h' error, even if I have slang and slang-devel, and the ./configure step works without errors. There seems to be some 0.9.3 tar.gz files now which updates for a few of the components. Would it be possible to replace these components with the newer 0.9.3 versions.

Updated spec file for 0.9.3 components
This should be a good start for the new package.

Needed patch for compiling new vdccm component
This is also needed with the new spec file.

New spec file for gnome trayicon
With the new 0.9.3 packages I have my device working (rx1950 in USB serial
mode, WM2005) but noticed that the trayicon needed updating.
Created attachment 147953 [details]
Needed patch for new synce-trayicon
This changes dccm to vdccm throughout the entire source code to work with the
new synce libraries.
I had to add this:
LDFLAGS="%{_libdir}/libsynce.so"
to the end of the configure line for synce-trayicon to compile. I'm sure the
other dependent packages will also need some changing to compile with the 0.9.3
version of librapi.
Thanks for your work on this :) I looked at it seems ok to me... the question is: do we know if with these upgrades the older devices still work? If yes then I will push everything asap. I'm not sure I only have a WM2005 device. It seems like it would work since I used the WM2003 directions with my device in USB Serial Mode. I needed at least 0.9.2 so my device wouldn't disconnect after about 30 seconds. I have been using it all day today with no problems. We might need to find someone who has an older device working currently to test the new packages. Ok. Then I will prep all packages and push them to devel tonight or tomorrow so
we can get some testing. Once we know if everything works I will push it to
fc{5,6} as well.
Sounds like a plan. Remember to check that the devel packages which require synce still build. I think they might need some tweaking since librapi and libsynce now use pkgconfig (maybe add as a build req). Just as a quick status upgrade: I am working on this. I am still fixing rpath issues on this. I hope I will be done with this and all things depending on it sometime this week... Uhm... my understanding was that even vdccm had been scrapped, and in my later experiments I've used "odccm", a complete rewrite (I followed the wiki instructions for WM2005 that have been updated only in part). It's clunky, since having built things by hand I have to start odccm by hand, and such, but I have managed to obtain a network between my machine and the pocketpc device. Do we have some kind of statement from the synce guys saying what is the set of packages to use? I also noticed that in SVN they now use odccm but the 0.9.3 source packages include vdccm. I followed the instructions on the synce wiki for building WM2005 support from sourceforge packages for which 0.9.3 is the latest. If you patch the tray-icon to use vdccm (or odccm i guess) then you can add it to your session start-up and then just connect the device (after all the prep). Then just right click disconnect from the tray-icon when you're done and disconnect the USB. Next time you plugin the device it comes right up again. The one problem I've run into so far using my 0.9.3 RPMs is that the gnomevfs plugin seems to have problems refreshing. |
