[Kde-pim] Akonadi backend in SyncEvolution

[Patrick Ohly]

Hello!

My port of Sascha's Funambol Akonadi backend to SyncEvolution was
working on Sunday evening. Sascha told Kevin and me that he is fine with
making that public, so I pushed the "akonadi" branch into our git repo.
Sascha will continue with it there.

I did some more testing today and added the necessary config changes so
that spouse/manager/assistant/anniversary are stored in Akonadi as
X-KADDRESSBOOK-*. In the Funambol-based solution they were exchanged as
X-KADDRESSBOOK with SyncML servers and probably got lost there, now they
are translated to X- and X-EVOLUTION- on the SyncML side. Most servers
support one of these.

I haven't tested other data categories. Open issues around that are
marked as TODO in the source (typically would also apply to the previous
solution):
      * calendar/tasks: store VTIMEZONE together with VEVENT/VTODO
        inside VCALENDAR in payload?
      * memos: conversion to plain text needed, servers don't support
        VJOURNAL
      * need possibility to select collections by screen name, so that
        we can create
        SyncEvolution_Test_vcard30/ical20/itodo20/text_[12] collections
        and use "client-test" to run automated tests against them

Regarding testing, test data currently used by
vcard30/ical20/itodo20/text is Evolution specific - at least vcard30 is,
it might not matter for the others. After getting testing to work at
all, it might make sense to create KDE specific test data.
