Description Georges Basile Stavracas Neto 2015-01-21 11:23:25 UTC 
We should use GDateTime family of functions instead. This won't be trivial, since Calendar heavily uses libical. We should:

1. Map libical <-> GDateTime functions, see if we can completely replace it
2. Write custom functions (at gcal-utils.c) for the non-mapped ical functions
3. Replace the ical usade throughout the code

That's all.
Comment 1 Georges Basile Stavracas Neto 2016-09-28 02:22:41 UTC 
Looking at the current state, the libical usage was reduced to the bare minimum. I'm closing this bug, as I don't think it's possible to reduce even more the usage of libical without touching outside GNOME Calendar.
