[Evolution] Bug#213283: LDAP handling of FreeBusy URLs

[Andrew Ruthven]

Version: 2.26.3-2+b1

Hi,

I've just been investigating getting FreeBusy URLs into contacts stored
on LDAP for use with Evolution.  I can confirm that this "issue" is
still present in current version of Evolution.  The LDAP server needs to
have the calEvent schema from RFC 2739 present.

I've found this email from 2002:

  http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/evolution/2002-April/017782.html

It refers to calentry.schema as documented in RFC 2739.

So evolution-data-server should remove the the FreeBusyURI (or mark them as
deprecated) and also ship calentry.schema alongside evolutionperson.schema .

Please note however that the schema on that above post won't work with
OpenLDAP.  Someone has cleaned it up, and is attached to this message:

  http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-August/109960.html

See my bug report (which has the comments above in it) in the Gnome Bugzilla:

Cheers!
