It looks like version 2.3 will require a fair number of changes to the debian and ubuntu packaging, from what I can see.

Spent a fair amount of time working with 1.4 from
http://trac.calendarserver.org/browser/CalendarServer/tags/release/CalendarServer-1.4

which was released at basically the same time as 2.3, that is, 3 months ago.

I'm a newbie at this packaging business, so am sure it is not quite right yet.

I took the source for 1.4 and copied in the debian subdirectory from the prior ubuntu package. Needed to make a number of changes to some patch files and the control file.

Have been able to build the source package, build the package, and install on my system (though with a syntax warning in one module that may indicate another patch that needs changing).

I'm finished with this for the weekend, so thought I would forward along my source directory and orig.tar.gz tarball that I was using in construction.

I'm assuming that really the way this should work is either for the debian upstream to be fixed, or for the source to be retrieved via the svn from macports and then a debian subdirectory added, but I'm definitely not sure on that.

Perhaps others can carry on with the packaging and testing from here?

thanks,
Peter
