[coldsync-hackers] Sync'ing a non-palm device using HotSync/ColdSync

["Ferry Hendrikx" <ferry_hendrikx at hotmail dot com>]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of writing some code (using the ColdSync libraries pconn 
and pdb) that emulates a palm and allows me to synchronise my Linux/Opie 
device with Outlook using HotSync and PocketMirror (I'd prefer not to, of 
course, but that's what my workplace supports).

My work so far has focussed on getting my emulated "palm" to talk to 
ColdSync. Once a significant subset of functionality is in place, I'll tweak 
it to work with HotSync (and Pocketmirror). Needless to say, the ColdSync 
libraries have been invaluable in getting this to work.

Now, my question is this: a large subset of the functionality is common (e.g 
SLP, DLP etc), but  requiring minor changes to make it behave like the palm 
(instead of the desktop). Should I (1) Submit the required patches to 
integrate the common functionality (into libpconn) and break the rest out 
into a new library/project, or (2) Simply break the whole lot out into a new 
library/project? (duplicating code).

There are advantages either way, but I'm keen to hear what others think.

Suggestions and ideas welcome!

Thanks for your help,

Regards,

Ferry Hendrikx
