RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description David Jaša 2012-03-19 14:02:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
when CalDAV URI is unreachable, the calendar can't be enabled in spite of enabled offline cache. This makes offline cache pretty much useless.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.28.3-24.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a CalDAV calendar with Copy Calendar for Offline Use (or so) checkbox checked
2. turn on Offline Mode
3. quit Evolution, restart e-calendar-factory/evolution-data-server, start 
4. reenable calendar
  
Actual results:
calendar can not be enabled again

Expected results:
calendar will be enabled

Additional info:
when user makes changes to calendar contents, he/she should be warned that it can not be pushed to calendar right away. During actual push of the changes, user should be asked how should be any conflicts resolved.
Comment 1 Milan Crha 2012-03-19 16:27:09 UTC 
The CalDAV backend doesn't support real offline handling. The most it can show the cached events in offline mode, like On The Web calendars work, and when the server gets reachable then it'll use it in writeable mode again (if available for the user by server principals). Some such code is available in Fedora, thus enabling in offline mode is considered as a typo in the URL (not necessary offline mode initiated by a user, but kinds like VPN unexpected disconnect and such).

for evolution-data-server;

I finally got to this and even I thought this will be significantly harder, then it turned out that the CalDAV backend didn't respect the "Copy calendar contents locally for offline operation" option, and always acted as it would be off. Having it on makes the calendar open in read-only mode while in offline, being able to read current offline cache from the disk.
