Package: calendarserver Version: 2.4.dfsg-6 Severity: wishlist Hi,
The package documents well that the filesystem holding /var/spool/caldavd (or any other configured DocumentRoot) needs to be mounted with support for extended attributes. It's easy to forget that they need to be preserved when migrating to a different machine or doing a backup of all calendar data, since GNU tar ignores them. Unfortunately, it's not obvious that one forgot them after a migration/restore, since the problem may only show up by clients complaining that it's not really CalDAV they are seeing. (This just happened to me with Iceowl/Sunbird, taking hours to debug.) Thus, please provide some additional hint (e.g. in README.Debian) about this issue. I used bsdtar (from the bsdtar package) which also archives extended attributes by default. As a side note, in case anyone is doing that on Lenny, the bsdtar version there does not restore the extended attributes when unpacking with -x. However, it puts them into the archive when archiving with -c and the Squeeze version also does correctly restore them.
