Hello,

I asked Kovid Goyal if there is a chance the bebook with open inktpot firmware will also be recognized in the future (send to device function)? He answered me :
It's not in my plans, but it should be relatively easy for one of the openinkpot guys to write a calibre driver for it.

Is it possible that one off you write a calibre driver for OI ? Please ? :flowers:
I want to help with it, but am a complete programming ignorant...

I think that you might be getting the cart ahead of the horse. :juggle:

At this stage of OI development it would also take some ( considerable? )work on the OI side as well, since OI does not yet expose the file system via USB, other than with SSH. I think that I recall reading in the roadmap that there may be something like the Hanlin firmware's USB to PC connection eventually, but the current snapshot is not ready for that yet????????

Well, you can just use scp or rsync in that calibre driver ;) This will certainly work on linux machines.

Hmmmmm, I did not realize that those were available in the OS on the current OI snapshot :smack:
I am learning something new everyday! :thumbsup:

This is supposed to be grow great - just a open (standard) connection, rsync on my BeBook - whow.

I've recently added installing rsync by default to the firmware building script.

It was avaliable for a while from APT repo, but required manual installation using the apt-get.

Rsync is only needed on one end. I use Rsync all the time to backup data onto a server that does not have Rsync, just SSH. Most people don't realize that SSH can do file transfers.

Uhmm. How would you do a delta-transfers without rsync on the device?

In cases like that, it merely copies the entire file back over. Your efficiency goes out the window, but, still gets done.

Well, it sucks. You can tar cf - <files> | ssh device tar xf - as well then :)
