[Angstrom-distro-users] _Another_ new file format for gpe-calendar?? What the?

[David L. Johnson]

One of my goals with Angstrom is to have basic PIM apps that work on my 
Zaurus and also work on my desktop, so I can copy my appointment 
calendar and contacts, etc., to all of my machines.

I was pleased as punch to see that both Angstrom and my desktop (debian 
sid) had gpe-*.  But, but.  The calendar on the desktop is not as recent 
a version as on Angstrom, so the data files are incompatible.  Well, OK, 
maybe debian will catch up soon enough.  But with the latest upgrade 
(7/5 I think) all of a sudden even my old calendar data cannot be read 
by the new calendar, because the format has changed again.

So, will this continue?  It would be nice if at least the new versions 
of gpe-calendar would read the old files, but that is a topic for 
elsewhere.

It seems that maybe gpe-calendar/contacts/todo is not the way to go. 
Alternatives?  Something also in debian, or compilable separately from 
the entier OE distribution, would be nice.

proven this not to be the case.
