Please upgrade calendarserver to version 2.4 from upstream

[Tomas Cassidy]

Binary package hint: calendarserver

According to the release tags on the calendarserver website (http://trac.calendarserver.org/browser/CalendarServer/tags/release), the latest release is version 2.4, released ~6 months ago. The current version of calendarserver in Ubuntu (and also Debian) is 1.2, released ~2 years ago. There have been 5 releases from upstream since the current version in the repositories and the package has been uninstallable on Ubuntu for at least the last two Ubuntu releases.

+1: AFAIK, DCS is the closest thing we have to a CalDAV server in Ubuntu. Bump!!

I should have mentioned that resolving this bug will also resolve #403349:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calendarserver/+bug/403349

The current version of calendarserver, 1.2, cannot even be installed via apt on Karmic.

[Alex Dean (alex-dean)]

I use calendarserver daily, and the fact that it is broken in Karmic is a major regression for me. Getting an updated version from upstream would be nice, but just making 1.2 installable in Karmic would be good enough for me.

[Chris (chfritsch-gmx)]

same for me. I have a couple of calendars hosted on calendarserver in Jaunty. Because of the new DVB-API (DVB-S2 with vdr) I loved to update to Karmic (AFAIK calendarserver in Jaunty is broken as well...). But as long as I can't keep my calendars available, this bug is a showstopper. Nevertheless, there seems to be an initial solution in #403349

[PeterNSteinmetz (ndoc2)]

Trying to determine how to develop a package working from the source code for 2.3, since the upstream doesn't seem to be moving. Page now on the wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CalendarServerPackaging

Hopefully others can contribute who have more expertise in packaging.

[Dave Gomboc (davegomboc)]

As part of the responses for bug 403349 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calendarserver/+bug/403349), Alex Dean gave a URL http://www.deanspot.org/content/installing-darwin-calendar-server-23-ubuntu-910 that points to his post on his workaround to get CalendarServer working under 9.10 (Karmic). I haven't (yet) tried his instructions myself.

As per 628558:

Debian has packaged calendarserver v2.4. Can this be made available for 10.4, as the currently packaged version (1.2) is incredibly old, and seems to be causing you packaging problems:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/calendarserver

This should make things easier (hopefully there's not too much more than testing it against an Ubuntu install & then adding it to available packages?

Thx - Ivan

[ivanbev (ivan-beveridge)]

Actually, can this be reconsidered for the Lucid release, now that the upstream (Debian) has packaged it?

Thx - Ivan

I filed a sync request as bug 631221, so I'm marking this a duplicate of that one.
