Major Issues
------------
Open/Pending
------------
- read-expenses/install-expense doesn't return the string of Type
for 'Train, Airplane', etc.
- Check RPC code (something broken on large-endian machines?)
- pilot-xfer -f fix (support '-f FooDB' as 'FooDB.p{db|rc|qa}
- Split out "Sync" from Backup function
- "strict-ify" pilot-sync-plan.pl
Fixed/Closed
------------
- Fix DLP to understand multiple return arguments.
Minor Issues
------------
Open/Pending
------------
- Add current date/time to dlp_AddSyncLogEntry();
- install-hinote duplicate note detection, export of notes from
Hi-NoteDB.pdb into desktop text files. Can we easily handle
images?
- Add progress callbacks to libpisock so that you can find out how
far a file transfer has gone (this is complex, as you also need to
instrument PADP and perhaps SLP transmissions, receptions, and
calculating exactly how many bytes is needed to transfer a file
won't be fun.)
knghtbrd: this is partly done now.
- Update Java bindings to use Ant instead of {g|n}make
- Rewrite Perl bindings to take advantage of MakeMaker
- There's a small perl problem with writing the binary character 11
to the end of a record. The following example illustates this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use diagnostics;
use PDA::Pilot;
# it's the last value which makes the program fail;
# and it fails only for the value 11!
@rec = (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,11);
%info = ("type"=>"Data","creator"=>"XXXX","name"=>"test");
$pdb = PDA::Pilot::File::create("test.pdb", \%info ) or die "Oops!\n";
$rec = join('', map(chr, @rec));
$pdb->addRecordRaw($rec,0,0,0);
Tweaks/Enhancements
-------------------
- Add proper curses updates to pilot-xfer -b -f -i -s -p to look
something like:
.--------------------------------------------------------------.
| File: /tmp/palm/Alpha-Lg.pdb Successful |
| Size: 3,462 bytes, 3.38k 1,028,492 bytes total |
| Progress: [==========================> ] 62% |
| Overall: [=======================> ] 50% |
| Time: 00:11:23 |
| Files: 234 remaining, 468 total |
`--------------------------------------------------------------'
knghtbrd: suggest wget-style output? curses not required.
- Start to condense the install-* binaries into one binary called
pilot-install. getopt() is a prerequisite for this, so we can do
'pilot-install -memos -todos' for example. Too much duplicated
code in there. Symlink the rest of the apps to pilot-install, and
just test argv[0] to run the proper functions. Multi-call binary.
- 'pilot-xfer -f Foo' to pull 'Foo.prc' from your Palm works.
Additional option to pull by CrID would be nice as well (and
faster, since we can use the DLP equivalent of
DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator())
- Add Tcl 8 specific code to allow retrieval of raw records, and
optionally use Tcl routines for packing and unpacking; Add all dlp
functions, clean up the channel code rats nest. Somehow. (Separate
source file?)
- Perl bindings: Change record representation from string to object
to match Python implementation. Add packers. Document.
- Collapse: read-todos/install-todos, memos/install-memos, etc.
New Features
------------
- pxd, first cut at a pilot-xfer'ized daemon
- Standard output format for the "4 Magic Buttons". XML? csv?
iCal/vCard?
- Teach pilot-sync-plan.pl about the other repetition types that are
convertable from Plan to Pilot.
- pilot-xfer --daemon. Would be a good test to get it listening on a
port in a non-scripted hacky way. All applications which return
should have this functionality. Interactive applications should be
left alone.
Documentation Updates
---------------------
- Reference IP_FORWARD=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl for the ppp HOWTO
