Error with Files backend in Debian Jessie
by Rahul Amaram 05 Mar '14

Hi, I am trying to run calendarserver 5.0 on Debian Jessie. While postgresql backend seems to work fine, I have been facing issues with files backend (I have user_xattr enabled). Could some feedback be provided on this? I am attaching the error.log for reference. The errors with timestamp 18:31 popped up as soon as I started calendarserver. The errors with timestamp 18:33 were encountered when I tried to authenticate to calendarserver. Early response would be much appreciated so that I could push the new Debian package to testing. Thanks, Rahul.

Debian updated package 4.2

Hi, I updated my personal package to 4.2. https://tree.se/debian/ There were three minor changes, fixing a few SQL statements for 0.1.4, adding python-psutil as dependency, debianizing PGSOCKETDIR. I will improve on packaging, this was the first attempt. The server starts and http://localhost:8008/ works in the browser. Not tested any further. Not a SAFE upgrade path, and it might eat your cat. It is for testing on a empty server without any important data. With regards to the SQL patch. Looking at trunk some of these SQL statements are OK for 0.1.4, some are not. It is the same problems with 'primary key(' and 'unique(' as in Ticket #759. http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/759 Example from current trunk (r10297) is line 186 vs 192. http://trac.calendarserver.org/browser/CalendarServer/trunk/txdav/common/da… Still not a big deal and calendar server does not support 0.1.4, but 0.1.2 http://trac.calendarserver.org/browser/CalendarServer/trunk/support/build.s… Not sure it makes sense to open a bug against the SQL issue as new code got added with 'primary key(' sql. It is after all a sqlparse bug. Better for packagers to patch it I think, as the distribution is using the "wrong" version. To fix it is just to add a space, and the issues is now well known. Thanks /Fred

Implementing an Async Directory Service
by rhodey 19 Jan '14

Greets all, I have implemented two custom directory services by sub-classing DirectoryService and implementing interface IDirectoryService. One service interfaces with postgres, the other a JSON REST API, both handle only "groups" and "users" principal types. As it stands both these directory services return synchronous results, is there a standard way for me to integrate a custom async directory service with Darwin Calendar Server? cheers, -- rhodey ˙ ͜ʟ˙
