gnome-pim-conduits and appointment times

[Adam C Powell IV <hazelsct mit edu>]

Greetings,

Quite a while ago (eleven months and two days, to be exact), there was 
mention on this list of a patch to fix the bug where all appointments 
synched from gnomecal to the Palm appear as "all-day" appointments, with 
no time.

That patch still hasn't made it to release, making gnome-pim-conduits 
still unusable, at least for gnomecal syncing.

Any ideas on when this will get fixed?

<sob story> It's bad enough that evolution doesn't support upgrades from 
gnomecal -- breaking compatibility with the previous generation of GNOME 
PIM software is a really bad precedent to set.  But I had hoped to be 
able to use the gnome-pilot parts to transfer my years of gnomecal data 
indirectly into evolution via a Palm.  Alas, those hopes are fading, 
nobody at all seems to care about us old faithful but now obsolete 
gnomecal users actually keeping our data. :'-( </sob story>

(Re-posted for roughly the third time partly in reply to Emmanoil's 
assertion that all is hunky-dory with Debian woody, GNOME 1.4, gnomecal 
and gnome-pilot, all of which I'm using to no avail.)

I'd investigate a patch myself, but on something as complicated as 
gnome-pilot, it's likely to need to fix several disparate bits of source 
code, and since mention of such a patch was made so long ago...

Thanks,
