DAViCal is not quite RSCDS
by Russ Knize on Dec.02, 2008, under Linux
At one point I had a working CalDAV store on my home server using RSCDS 0.9.2. It was a little touchy and the clients were flaky (Sunbird/Lightning and Evolution), but it worked. One day it didn’t, which turned out to be an unnoticed upgrade of the rscds package. I just recently had a chance to look into the issue.
It seems to have been an issue with the database schema, but I decided to upgrade to the latest package instead, now called davical. Well that turned into a big mess, as I couldn’t even get it to work with a completely clean database. Everything looked great in the admin interface, even after re-importing all of the events, but the caldav.php interface would return a completely empty response to all clients. Not even a VCalendar…just nothing. After fighting with it for several hours, I found that the issue was actually with libawl (Andrew’s own little utility library). Apparently, DAViCal 0.9.6.2 does not like libawl 0.33. Upgrading to 0.34 fixed the issue.
Hopefully Andrew will fix the package dependency.
