Help wanted: GNOME Calendar blocker issues

[Allan Day]

Hi all,

We currently have three F37 release blocker issues against gnome-calendar:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130964
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130977
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130981

Right now there isn't any progress on fixing any of them, and we have
about a week to decide whether to stick with gnome-calendar for F37,
or remove the package from the install media (something that the
Workstation Working Group is keen to avoid).

If any developers can spare some time to investigate any of these
issues, it would be a big help!

Thanks,

Allan

Hi,
I had a look and made some proposals upstream. I guess these three bugs
can be ignored now (once someone backports the changes and so on).

Nonetheless, there is other issue, with handling of changes of the
recurring events, which I'm not going to dive in.
    Bye,
    Milan

I've backported your fixes. Thank you!

We still have two outstanding blockers for Calendar:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2132769
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2132772

Help from anyone to get these fixed would be a big help.

We're anticipating that the early target date will be missed, so we
have about a week to fix these issues or face the choice of whether to
pull Calendar from the install image.

There is also still an outstanding Contacts blocker:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2130661

and the ibus-typing-booster thing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2131837
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5930

I'll ping Mike to see if there's any further progress on that one.

I've asked about this upstream and we might be able to get some help
there. Anything we can do downstream would be good though.

Niels is looking into that.

I heard that Mike had a fix, but yes it would be good to follow up.

Since changing calendars back and forth "fixes" it, I did a quick
workaround that essentially does that under the hood:

I posted a fix for this one too, but it's a little icky. It's only
slightly improving
a chunk of code that already has HACK!!! in a comment above it. We'll see
what upstream says :-)
