Raise a debug message rather than a warning when failing to parse bday field (1.01 KB, patch)

Description Guillaume Desmottes 2012-04-30 13:08:26 UTC 
I got a lot of those:

(gnome-contacts:1585): telepathy-WARNING **: tpf-persona.vala:878: Failed to parse new birthday string '24 avril 1988'


Strictly speaking, Folks is right assuming the bday field is in ISO 8601 as that's how it's defined in the vCard spec but in pratice loads of clients are doing it wrong and allow user to enter whatever shit they want.

I propose to decrease this warning to a debug as there is not much we can do about it.

There is no much we can't do if other clients didn't respect the vCard spec.

Merged to 0.6.
