FFe: Sync calendarserver 5.1+dfsg-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Rahul Amaram]

Please sync calendarserver 5.1+dfsg-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
I am the Debian maintainer for Apple calendaserver. I have uploaded the latest release for calendarserver (version 5.1). It would be great to get 5.1 into trusty. The current version 3.2 in trusty is sort of outdated. I can help with fixing important bugs on a priority basis to expedite the process of having 5.1 running smoothly in Ubuntu Trusty.

Changelog entries since current trusty version 3.2+dfsg-5:

calendarserver (5.1+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (Closes: #709607)
  * Updated NSS Configuration documentation (Closes: #696334)
  * Added documentation for PostgreSQL Peer authentication. Also debianized
    bootstrapdatabase.py (Thanks to Georges Racinet and Fredrik Unger)
    (Closes: #696931)
  * Removed fields Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser as they were pointing to upstream
    sources rather than that where the debian package is maintained (Closes:
    #709608)
  * IPv6 support added upstream (Closes: #719649)
  * Removed patch py-ssize-t-fix.patch as it has been included upstream in
    r9700 (See http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/448)
  * Removed upgrade-nss-data-directories.py script and related changes. This
    was being used to address an issue when upgrading from 1.2 to 2.4 (See
    Debian Bug#610124). As we have had two major versions released since then,
    we believe it to be safe to remove this fix.
  * Removed zoneinfo.patch

Any update on this?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Rahul Amaram (amaramrahul)]

Just curious as the trusty release is almost on the corner. Is there any idea to still have calendarserver 5.1 into Trusty?

[Rahul Amaram (amaramrahul)]

As suggested by Andrew, I am attaching the build log for calendarserver and python-pycalendar for Ubuntu Trusty. Also, I did some basic testing with NSS directory backend and adding / removing / modifying events work fine. There were a couple of non-Ubuntu specific bugs which I encountered which I will get fixed on a priority if this package is likely to be accepted into Trusty (even otherwise I need to fix them but maybe not on a priority basis).

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

This is a leaf, unseeded package, so very low risk.

The bugs that you mentioned. Are they regressions in 5.1? I wouldn't want to upgrade to a known-buggy release.

[Rahul Amaram (amaramrahul)]

Hi Stefano, There were two issues faced:

1. Migrated data from earlier versions would not be visible. The fix for this is to use the same guid that was being auto-generated earlier. I have written a script for getting this auto-generated guid.

2. The second issue was that tasks were not visible from Thunderbird. This could be changed using a configuration option, which is currently not set in 5.1.

I have addressed both these issues in version 5.2 which I have just pushed into debian unstable. It would be great if you could sync calendarserver 5.2 and pycalendar 2.0~svn13177-1 from debian unstable.

Alternatively, I could backport the script and config changes to 5.1.

Let me know what works.

[Rahul Amaram (amaramrahul)]

calendarserver 5.2 is already into unstable :).

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Sure, let's do it. I'll grant the FFe and sponsor the upload for you.

[Rahul Amaram (amaramrahul)]

We will also need to migrate pycalendar 2.0~svn13177-1.

[Rahul Amaram (amaramrahul)]

Raised a sync request for pycalendar as well - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308587

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Ah, I missed your mentions of pycalendar here. Next time, open a task in the same bug.

I also guess your dependencies between the two are too loose, if calendarserver requires a newer pycalendar.
