Description Lars Herrmann 2007-10-30 16:07:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
If you accept a meeting invite (ics attachment) in evolution that contains
recurrence, evolution will store the event in the users calendar as expected,
but will not show the recurrening events. evolution writes the ics file
(~/.evolution/calendar/local/system/calendar.ics) with recurrence, but does not
show it in calendar component, for example:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.8.0-33.0.1.el5

How reproducible:
send meeting invite with recurrence to evolution user, accept meeting, check
calendar


  
Actual results:
event is stored in users calendar, but only the first occurence shown.
This is misleading both users involved: the sender receives an email stating
accpetance and the receiver does not know about the recurrence.

Expected results:
show event with recurrence

Additional info:
As evolution is heavily user internally at Red Hat, this should be fixed with
high priority

Created attachment 291862 [details]
proposed evo patch

I found out that the event is just the instance, and not the master object of
the event, so it is recurring, but is stored as an exception of the master
object. The problem was with the Evolution, it sent always the event instance,
except when creating new meeting.

This patch will send changes based on the modify mode chosen by user (the
dialog which asks what to modify, all instances or only this instance).
Comment 9 Milan Crha 2008-01-16 16:07:19 UTC 
I also moved this upstream, see [1] for more details.

Comment 10 Matthew Barnes 2008-01-18 19:29:07 UTC 
Hmm, I'm still able to reproduce the problem with the patch applied, although it
took several tries for the event to even show up.  Marking this MODIFIED anyway;
I think we can still figure this out before 5.2 ships.

Patch applied to evolution-2.12.3-2.el5
