Repeating tasks in iCal feed go on forever

[Chris Boyle]

Binary package hint: lightning-extension

I have an iCalendar feed from rememberthemilk.com with a couple of repeating tasks in it. An instance of each of these tasks appears on their DTSTART date, and continues to infinity, showing up on every day. The next instance starts on DTSTART + interval (2 weeks), and also continues to infinity alongside the first instance. And so on, making the calendar unusable. All the other tasks are non-repeating and appear correctly, only on their DTSTART. Here are the problematic tasks:

BEGIN:VTODO
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20090625T123451
SUMMARY:black bin & black box out
UID:FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF61912882

END:VTODO

BEGIN:VTODO

END:VTODO

(I actually hoped to see these and all other tasks on their due dates, not start dates, but that's a separate issue).

This is a problem with the ical not lightning.

Ah. Sorry, you're right, I hadn't seen that RTM had adjusted the DUE date to be that of the latest instance... I'll go and file this with them. :-)
