Installation documentation will be found in doc/install-http.html in the

Thanks for your continued support, and we look forward to any and all
feedback.


I have successfully installed and tested this version on a test VM. I'm 
considering a limited test on our production server. There we run 2.4.17 
built using Simon Matter's RPM. I wasn't able to adapt the SPEC file to use 
the caldav-beta tgz, so I compiled manually using the same configure 
parameters that Simon uses. Now I wonder if it would be considered safe to 
manually install just the httpd binary and to use it alongside the ones 
provided by the RPM?


Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

The calendar and contact data is stored within a user's normal mailbox 
heirarchy.  imapd from cyrus-imapd-caldav-2.4.17 knows to not return the 
calendar and contact folders to an IMAP client in LIST output.

If you just copy the htttpd binary in place, I think it should work, but your 
IMAP users will see those folders.  At the very least they'll wonder what they 
are.  At the worst, they'll manipulate them with an IMAP client and make them 
unstable for CalDAV use.

If I missed anything, I'm sure Ken can chime in.

HTH,

Dave

2013-05-21 Thread Sebastian Hagedorn

Hi Dave,

thanks. My understanding was that the other daemons hadn't changed, so I 
thought that base 2.4.17 already included the intelligence about those 
special folders. Ken, could you please clarify if that is the case or if I 
also need to replace the other binaries to be safe?


Cheers,
Sebastian

Dave is correct.  The older imapd will show the calendar mailboxes to 
users in the LIST output.  If you want to hide them, you will have to 
install the new imapd binary. Otherwise, you could change the ACLs on 
the calendar mailboxes so that the user can't write to them, but they 
will still see them.
