Re: org-caldav: New version with proper two-way sync

[Detlef Steuer <detlef.steuer@gmx.de>]

Thank you a lot!

I ran into the issue that repeated syncs have putting and deleting 
wrong (it seems).


I use a script in crontab to sync different calendars:

-----
#!/bin/bash

### Es werden die Inhalte der Org-Mode Dateien in verschiedene Calender
### in der owncloud exportiert.

for calendar in Ferien Geburtstage Todo WAB;  do \
emacs --batch \
       --load ${HOME}/Working-Copies/Scripts/Org-Multicalendar/${calendar}.el ; \
done
##

${calendar}.el looking like


-----
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/steuer/GIT/org-mode/lisp/")
(require 'org)

(setq org-icalendar-include-todo t)
(setq org-icalendar-use-deadline '(todo-due))
(setq org-icalendar-use-scheduled '(event-if-not-todo))

(require 'url)
(require 'auth-source)
(setq auth-sources '((:source "~/.netrc" :host t :protocol t)))
(setq auth-source-debug t)

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/steuer/GIT/org-caldav/")
(setq org-caldav-url "http://steuer-geilke.de/owncloud/remote.php/caldav/calendars/detlef")
(setq org-caldav-calendar-id "ferien")
(setq org-caldav-files '("/home/steuer/.pim/ferien.org") )
(setq org-caldav-inbox "/home/steuer/.pim/caldav-inbox.org")
(require 'org-caldav)
(org-caldav-sync)

That worked for me, but now, after a first successful sync I get:

(2. and subsequent syncs!)

So it seems all events get deleted immediately after loading them up.
Indeed my calendars show up empty again in owncloud :-)

Any hints?

org from today, emacs 23.2, org-caldav from yesterday
