Description Onyeibo Oku 2011-03-20 21:47:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Cannot view Calendar events created in Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning on Gnome-shell Calendar UI ... because the default Calendar Client is Evolution.  Gnome3 does not recognize that Thunderbird/Lightning is installed and that it provides this service.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.91.91-2.fc15

How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Thunderbird
2. Install the Lightning Plug-in
3. Go to system settings -> system info -> default applications -> calendar
  
Actual results:
Only Evolution is listed

Expected results:
Evolution and Thunderbird/Lightning should be listed

I guess the following information will be use full as well :

"You must first write a patch against DateMenu
(js/ui/dateMenu.js:55) so that it can pick a custom source instead
of the default DBusEventSource (possibly analizing
org.gnome.default-applications.calendar or some other GSettings key),
then just write a Lighting EventSource (see js/ui/calendar.js), using
whatever DBus API or library Lightning uses (it may involve an extension
for Lightning, if database access is not normally granted to external
processe).
Thanks for your interest in this and file a bug when you're ready!"

This could be a source of ideas for keeping the evolution-calendar-server and fixing this bug but its lacking bi-directional editing of the data once its pushed to the evolution-calendar-server. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/evolution-mirror/ This addon has seemed to solve half of the problem and maybe it could be extended to finish the integration.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-06 20:01:56 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
