todo conduit crash
Last modified: 2008-01-11 17:02:23 EST
Hi, I observe a crash of gpilotd while syncing a palm tungsten e2 todo list. The problem occurs when adding a task on the pda, and syncing it to the pc, when no due date is defined. When no due date is set, from the pilot-link struct ToDo structure, indefinite is 1, and the struct tm due contains just garbage (*) that causes the crash. So a possible patch is to test todo.indefinite in comp_from_remote_record(), before handling the struct tm due date. --- evolution-2.10.3/calendar/conduits/todo/todo-conduit.c.orig 2007-04-09 15:10:34.000000000 +0200 +++ evolution-2.10.3/calendar/conduits/todo/todo-conduit.c 2007-07-25 16:39:24.000000000 +0200 @@ -992,7 +992,7 @@ e_cal_component_set_status (comp, ICAL_STATUS_NEEDSACTION); } - if (!is_empty_time (todo.due)) { + if (!todo.indefinite && !is_empty_time (todo.due)) { due = tm_to_icaltimetype (&todo.due, TRUE); dt.value = &due; e_cal_component_set_due (comp, &dt); (*) should we consider this behaviour as a bug in pilot-link instead ?
upstream BR is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442329 and also probably http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438239.
Matthew: in the absence of an update to evolution, this patch should be added to the evolution package as it affects current fc7 users I believe (judging by a recent post to the gnome-pilot-list).
Fixed in evolution-2.10.3-7.fc7. Pushed to Testing. Fedora 8 and Rawhide should already have this fix.
evolution-2.10.3-7.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update evolution'
Closing as current release. Feel free to reopen if the problem persist on the 2.10.3-7.fc7. Thanks for your help.
evolution-2.10.3-7.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
