Howdy all, Just finished a test install and am evaluating this as a replacement for the ancient and unmaintained ical (X Window) for a small workplace environment. As usual I began the safe way with a Debian Stable VM and the version in the stable repo. Our network is still using NIS so that was what I wired calendarserver up to. The idea is to connect with Thunderbird+Lightning and Evolution as clients.
Didn't take all that much effort to begin to see results but things are getting bogged down in the details. Any user on our network can now have a personal calendar. Read the webpages and such, Googled and there are things that still aren't making sense. 1. Group calendars. See mailing list traffic that implies they have been eliminated but only unanswered questions regarding what should be used as a replacement. At any rate, they don't work for me. I made a group with the right prefix and it appears as a group with the right members when I browse the server with a web browser but any attempt to create a calendar for the group fails. The closest I can see now to a solution is to create a user with a similar name to the group and set the group as a proxy using the command line tool. Is that the right thing to do? 2. The missing svn repo and the brain teaser in the command line admin tool. To get the command line tool, CalDAVClientLibrary, one is supposed to issue a request for an svn checkout. That doesn't work. Google provided an alternate git repo that I could get to work. But I have now tried running that on both the new Debian server hosting calendarserver and my laptop running Fedora 17 and get the same bizarre issue. I can't type a b. [ac-zA-Z0-9] all work just fine, but no b. I'm composing this on the same laptop so I know my b key works. 3. Once I got NSS as a directory service working the XML file appears to have stopped providing anything. I see where you can go either way if you use LDAP, either retaining locations and resources coming from the XML file or taking them from the LDAP server. Do not see any such option with NSS. Are locations and resources just unavailable in my situation or is there a way to push them in via NSS/NIS? Once I get past those I can move on to coming up with an easy way to get the permissions on everything right and in such a way that other people can do it when people come and go and then declare victory and move on.
