Last modified: 2009-11-30 04:16:27 UTC
Not too long ago Red Hat switched to using Zimbra for calendaring internally. One of the IS/IT guys filed this report (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=267541): After setup some meeting in evolution, the gnome calendar clock crashes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.8.0-33.0.1.el5 gnome-panel-2.16.1-6.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on clock applet to get the calendar 2. Bug-buddy pops up Actual results: ClockApplet crashes Expected results: ClockApplet shows me my meetings :) Later an F8 user reported a similar problem (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435355):
Created attachment 106476 [details] [review] Work around bug in Zimbra connector This is the patch I pushed for RHEL5
FYI, the Zimbra connector project is hosted here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/zimbraevo
*** Bug 453173 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hrm. I hate to have such a workaround. Has the crash been reported to the zimbra evo connector people?
Judging from the assigned to columms here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=993925&group_id=205508&func=browse Matt is one of the upstream people.
Matt /is/ upstream, and my quest for time to maintain that thing continues...
afaik, zimbra-connector is dead. Should this not be closed ?
Yes, it's dead. Unless Ray wants to push forward his defensive patch for similarly misbehaving backends, I think this can be closed.
