Comment 3 Milan Crha 2026-04-16 06:17:11 UTC
Let's wait with this a bit, it needs coordination between the projects using libical/libical-glib, because it's not (intentionally) installable beside the 3.x series and it changes API in some degree.

Comment 5 Allen Winter 2026-04-27 12:44:46 UTC
I can assure you that libical 4.0 is not officially released yet.  The official release will happen in a few days.

oh, I did mistakenly push the 4.0 tag about 10 days ago.  and then immediately withdrew it.
maybe that's why this issue was created.

in the meantime, please wait a few more days at least.  Milan will know for sure when its time.

Comment 6 Milan Crha 2026-04-27 15:19:35 UTC
Aha, I see, no problem with that. In fact Fedora will be slower to adopt it, due to the need for the synchronization between the projects which use libical 3.x, they will need to port to 4.x once it's out. That's the Fedora devel list announcement I mentioned above about.

Comment 7 Allen Winter 2026-04-30 18:40:34 UTC
It's official.  libical 4.0.0 is released now.

FTR: KDE stuff should be ported already to use libical 4.0.0.  I did that as part of my migration testing.

Comment 23 Allen Winter 2026-08-20 16:02:28 UTC
The scratch builds are failing because the cmake options have changed in version 4.0

please remove the "-DSHARED_ONLY" cmake option.
by default, libical v4.x always builds in shared only mode

if you want to build a static only version, please use '-DLIBICAL_STATIC=ON'

other cmake options have been deprecated and should still work in 4.0.x but may removed in v4.1.
suggest reading https://github.com/libical/libical/blob/4.0/docs/MigrationGuide_to_4.md for the changes.

Comment 24 Milan Crha 2026-08-21 05:56:51 UTC
This is okay, Allen, you can ignore these automated attempts, though thanks for the reminder about the options change, I tend to forget that.

I need to coordinate the switch from libical 3.x to 4.x distro-wide, which is "a little challenge". I've a thread for it [1], which I will update in the following week(s), as the f45 branched recently, thus it's safe to break rawhide now. I also need to write a Fedora System-wide Change proposal/info first.

Comment 25 Milan Crha 2026-08-26 14:04:41 UTC
For the record, the proposed changes in Fedora .spec file look like this:  
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libical/pull-request/2

It only needs the coordination wit other packages and such, as tracked in a Change proposal:  
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Libical4

and with initial rebuild of the main users of it at:  
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mcrha/libical-4.x/builds/
