[CalendarServer-users] PostgreSQL/xattr-filestore?

[John Murdie]

I'm curious about the development Calendar Server's apparent need for
PostgreSQL, but that (py)xattr is still called for. Rather than
store .ics files directly in the filestore, will version 3.* use a
relational database to store the equivalent data? (My apologies if I've
missed a developers' document either in the checked-out development or
on the website, but I have looked. I need to read the source, I know!)

A calendar service which was (eventually!) used in an academic
environment such as mine would have to have its users' calendar data
backed up. Normally, we use a NetApp filestore for holding user files,
via an NFS proxy. I shall look to see if extended attributes can be so
supported, but if the aim is to store data with PostgreSQL, that might
be an easier route.
