gnomecal won't be in the next release, dropped in favor of Evolution. gnomecal isn't actively maintained upstream.
*Extremely* poor decision. gnomecal is small, lightweight, and does exactly what it's designed to do and nothing more. Evolution is a slow bloated app that tries to do everything. I just want a calendar. I already have an email client. Plus I remain unconvinced about the design decisions and security implications behind Evolution. Sigh. Oh well, at least gnomecal will continue to live thanks to the GPL...
Well, it isn't really our decision. We can't afford to maintain every package dropped by upstream maintainers ourselves, and this one has been dropped; no one is working on it. Of course it's GPL, so if someone cares they _could_ work on it... but at the moment no one is.
