Bug#866795: gnome-contacts: No CardDAV support?
> Afaik, you couldn't directly add CardDAV URLs in jessie either. Perhaps not under gnome-contacts, but on jessie the official calendar app seemed to be evolution, insofar as when I said "open calendar" from the top bar to get at my contacts, evolution is what started up, and that supported CardDAV. > What you can use is gnome-online-accounts, same as in jessie. Oddly my remaining jessie machine doesn't have gnome-online-accounts installed, but handles CardDAV fine via evolution anyway. On stretch gnome-online-accounts doesn't present a WebDAV option, and trying the ownCloud option I have no idea what to type since it just asks for a server, not a URL. Previous attempts at entering a URL there failed. C.

What you can use is gnome-online-accounts, same as in jessie. I used that to setup a ownCloud/Nextclound account, which I use to host my CalDAV/CardDAV data. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#866795: gnome-contacts: No CardDAV support?
Package: gnome-contacts Version: 3.22.1-1+b2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, [I suspect this is closely related to my encountering a similar problem wrt CalDAV calendars, submitted as bug #866794 versus gnome-calendar; please mark as duplicate/move to gnome-online-accounts if that's where this should really reside] I've just upgraded from jessie to stretch, and now cannot find a means of adding my CardDAV server as a source of contacts: there's a huge list of options, but nothing that seems to support CardDAV, which I used successfully on jessie. Currently the only way to add an address book seems to be to add an account, but the list of account types doesn't seem to include anything that would permit use of a CardDAV URL. I can't see any mention of DAV in the release notes either for this or for stretch itself. Any suggestions please?
