Switching to 3.2? Features ?
by Fredrik Unger 10 Jul '12

Hi, I have been using version 2.4.dfsg-6 packaged by Debian. As CS is now 3.2 I figured I'd bite the bullet and upgrade. An update can not hurt.. :) As I understand one now needs a Postgres database instead of the file system attributes. What Features does 3.2 have ? How well does it run on a Debian system ? Is there any Debian packaging planned ? (Question belongs to the Debian maintainer, but maybe they are listening here as well.. ) Currently I run some calendars the "old" way with groups. (with a patch) How do I set up a group calendar in 3.2. I have LDAP users, and they are "memberof" different groups. User X and Y is member of group A. Currently I have a calendar named A which both user X and Y can use via LDAP group membership authentication. How is a "proper" setup for this in 3.2 ? X and Y have also their "private" calendars, so they have to keep 2 calendars manually in order, but that was OK for the beginning. There are not that many users. I am also interested in CardDAV functionality in the same manner. Private and group address books. Any linux and windows client suggestions ? Well I think that was the first questions, I might come back with more. Also I could try to help write up some of the information to improve documentation of the calendar server. Anything else to think about. Thanks, Fredrik Unger

PyKerberos and keytab
by Mauricio Tavares 24 Feb '12

Which keytab is PyKerberos accessing? And, can I specify which one I want it to use? I was reading the docs on getServerPrincipalDetails and it refers to the /etc/keytab file. What if I do not want to use that file?

Turn off memcached?
by Chris Cleeland 07 Feb '12

Is it possible to turn off memcached support, even with hackery? I am running into persistent problems running 2.4 on Debian where, after awhile, it appears that memcached gets confused and can no longer find the directory for a calendar. I am not running this in an enterprise. It's my home server, so while memcached is nice it's not that big of a deal. I'd like to upgrade but have had problems getting 3.1 to run. I don't really have a ton of time to fool with it and am a sucky python programmer, so I'm content to hack at this one until 3.2 can be packaged by somebody who is way more knowledgable than I. --- Chris Cleeland
