Subject: evolution: Global template does not get used for fetching free/busy
 information
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:40:21 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: evolution
Version: 2.22.3.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch


I am using a webdav resource to store free/busy information of many users.
Under Preferences|Calendar and Tasks|Free/Busy I have set the URI using the %u
placeholder. All contact's Free/Busy URL's are empty. When I want to schedule
a meeting using free/busy information, Evolution tells me on the command line
that the supplied URI was invalid.
I have set this severity to important because it is not efficient to set the
free/busy URL for every single contact - which works btw.

Fortunately, I could hunt down the bug - Evolution would always set the free/
busy URL to the one from the contact even if this one is empty.

The patch adds a check against "" for the user's free/busy URL at the time the
free/busy info is asked for. This opens the way for the global template to be
used which was impossible before.

Regards,
  Holger
