Ok, I realise that dev packages, even with doc packages, are pretty useless without examples... So I took a little time today and packaged up the tests and examples, libmokoui2 (with documentation) and openmoko-dates, and added them to my repository. So if you liked Dates before, perhaps you want to try out openmoko-dates, or check out the new back-end library. I'd like to think that libjana is the calendaring/time equivalent to libempathy; please don't make me cry that I'm wrong :)
Also, a friend pointed out that I got the source lines wrong yesterday (after I asked him to test it..), so here are the proper ones:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cwiiis/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/cwiiis/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
Feedback would really be appreciated!

any chances/ETAs that libjana gets used in Evolution or the clock-applet?
Chris Lord says:
@mike: There's no chance of it ever being in Evolution, which is fair enough - there's a lot of stuff that libjana doesn't provide interfaces for that eds and its accompanying libraries do (which is what makes them so hard to use, imo) - clock-applet though? Who knows... Again, I doubt it, but anything can happen :) If someone codes a nice clock-applet replacement that uses libjana, it could happen...
mike says:
He, I had the "pimlico suite" some time ago, and I liked it very much, even though it was not a useful replacement for evolution, but much faster and so on.
Only thing missing: Mails... I O-Hand could get a "Mails"-application on track one could easily hack together and Evo "replacement"/better Evolution....
Of course Evo can't use libjana because it is too simple to use ;) I should have thought of that^^

I downloaded Dates 0.4.4 on Debian to try it just now. (How much different is that from this?)
It's impressively small and fast, and I like the zoom-in/out better than the radiobuttons that most apps use. I'm not sure why it has both 5-day and 7-day weeks, and most-of-my-day and all-of-my-day views. I guess I'd have to get used to clicking twice.
Sadly, if you click any checkbox in the Calendars window, it crashes. :-(
Chris Lord says:
@ken: This is a complete re-write, so Dates is very different to this :) If you can get a stack trace with symbols for your crash in Dates though, I can take a look at that - Dates shouldn't crash...
ken says:
Sorry -- I'd lost your blog for a bit!
I built from source, and it still crashes. Unfortunately, the stack trace is full of "no debugging symbols". What debug libraries should I look at getting? I really don't want to download a gigabyte of -dbg packages.
Any comments?
