Re: [Evolution-hackers] Recurrence woes

Hey Jules...thanks for responding.  It's not that...and I just learned something interesting.  I built evolution-data-server by hand, and then instrumented file backend...because it seems to work correctly.  I noticted that when there are recurrent exceptions, e-file-backend will return the entire calendar in get_object, instead of the single object that was being asked for.  In other words, this is what it returns:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me...maybe I just don't understand how it's supposed to work.  Harish or someone close to the project...can you explain this?

Thanks,

Scott

Maybe this is something trivial like your get_static_capabilities()
implementation not returning the right capabilities for your backend??

HTH,
