Re: [Evolution] Evolution Calendar: migration issue with re-occuring events ( Recurrence )

[Kia L Huffman <kialh yahoo com>]

On my "old system" CentOS 7, where I create the .tar.gz backup file I have:
evolution-3.12.11-15.el7.x86_64
evolution-data-server-3.12.11-24.el7.x86_64

On my new system Fedora Core24, where I try to restore from the tar.gz backup file, I have:
evolution-3.20.4-1.fc24.x86_64
evolution-data-server-3.20.4-1.fc24.x86_64

Here is the bugzilla ticket:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769483

Thanks

Kia

    Hi,
I suppose your events are stored in one of the On This Computer
calendars. Could you find one of the "shifted" events in the backup
.tar.gz file, located under .local/share/evolution/calendar/ of that
backup tarball, and post it here, or even better fill a new bug report
in the GNOME bugzilla, please? The relevant part, if you'd search by
summary, is between BEGIN:VEVENT and END:VEVENT lines in the
corresponding calendar.ics file. The most interesting lines are with
DTSTART and DTEND from the VEVENT definition. I guess the times there
are stored without the timezone reference, or it cannot be found, or
something like that.

You also wrote that you've Evolution 3.20.4, I suppose the evolution-
data-server is also 3.20.4. I'd guess you face some sort of variant of:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634294
but this is fixed in those versions.
    Thanks and bye,
    Milan
