donk0yote:
Try to extract the file to a Comma Separated Value one; after that you can use the Sqlite Tools you can find on http://www.sourceforge.net to import that file in the calendar Sqlite2 database.

Ok, i did the fixes and tried them all.
Now as the PdaXrom has trigger option like the Ipaq' s one, i tried to modify the libschedule Ipaq' s code.
What i saw is that, modifiying the alarm_file creation string, finally it works.
Still remains the deletion problem, as libschedule try to delete the wrong alarm_file.
And still remain the problem that only one alarm a time is possible.
These problems are related no more to the libschedule but to the libevent-db.
So i did the fix for a correct alarm_file generation for the PdaXrom ATD and i will make libschedule reset the at dir directly when you try to delete an event. So you can add a new one.
I began yesterday to put hand on gpe-calendar to fix the thing that generate the event even after the deletion; but i saw that there was a modification to the CVS tree 5 hours old, so i' m waiting for the CVS to be more stable.
The GPE-Calendar,libgpevtype and libeventdb are now in a constant week by week develop, so i have only to see when the GPE-Developers reach a finally fix.
Changing the code now, would result a useless work as they time by time are changing the all libevent and calendar views and behaviour.
We will see.
BYEZ!!

Right guys, new packages on CVS and new packages i compiled.
After new tries i saw that now, with my fix to libschedule, the PdaXrom atd trigger the right file and announce wakes up.
Now libschedule works like the Ipaq' s one without any Sqlite implementations and triggering the atd directly.
Studying more the PdaXrom atd i saw it was only a problem of alarm_file name, as you know i' m a beginner EHEHEH! :-)
New changements made from Neal on libeventdb CVS make libschedule works better, but some problems still remains.
New events Day,Weeks,Months views.
Check new packages and tell me what do you think.
New packages will be asap on my contrib:

gpe-calendar_cvs.240406_armv5tel.ipk
libeventdb_cvs.240406_armv5tel.ipk
libgpevtype_cvs.240406_armv5tel.ipk
libschedule_cvs.060406.fixed_armv5tel.ipk

I began to take contacts with the GPE authors and to enter in the PdaXrom and GPE chat.
BYEZ :-)

Hi Xromer

So what you are saying with the atd stuff is that it now ignores the /usr/bin/at shell script and does all this itself? Sounds like a good solution as it will not only work with the standard atd package, but also allow me to still use a more powerful script for other things

Good work anyway - will test the updated ipks ASAP.

Thanks

Well, it was my mistake.
I thought atd trigger function didn' t work, but was only because the file generated by libschedule had a bad name.
I changed the string of the alarm_file name and now all it works as it should.
That' s all.
BYEZ!!

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']ATTENTION!!!![/span]

This morning, starting gpe-contacts and today i saw they were broken by the new libevents.
This because the new libeventdb has Version libeventdb.so.1 instead of 0.
So i suddenly recompiled the gpe-contacts_cvs.240406_armv5tel.ipk.
I tried to do the same for gpe-today, but i saw that the new libevent makes today a need of code modification for the new structure.
So i think leaving the old libeventdb library toghether with the new one, could fix the problem.
Be sure every time to backup your DBS and remember that we are using CVS code. I will never stop to advice for that!!!!
Any deep tries of the Beta3? This evening i began to have a look at the new Builder.
And, if i' m able, i will recompile a new SDK and compile all the packages for that.
We will see, i' m looking forward to try the new Sigmarion III arriving from Japan, ehehehehehe!
BYEZ!  

P.S. To make the 2 versions of the libraries coexist, i' ll have to change names and dependencies.
This morning i don' t really have time to do this, i ' ll do it in the evening and make all the necessary changes.
Until then if you want to do that, you have to install the old libevent manually.

As i' m migrating to the beta3 for the glibc-iconv integration, you need be little more patient.
This because i have installed the latest builder and the PdaXrom iso environment.
And i have to compile the cross-compilation tool.
After compiled the cross-compilation tool, i will migrate all the packages to the new Beta and try to compile the packages that needed the glibc-iconv i.e. the CVS GpsDrive, the new PhoneGaim and probably a try for the Evolution package to see if it stucks running or it' s usable.
Now the PdaXrom environment it' s usable but it misses the make and gcc packages.
So i have to compile them before to begin.
Asap i will post all the things.
BYEZ!!

Hi Xromer

If you could let us know when the contrib feed is populated with a set of packages that work happily together with your latest changes, that would be great. I know I'm not up to date, but not 100% sure what's missing, so I'd like to just install all the latest.

Version numbers aren't always reliable indicators that something has changed (you had to put '.fixed' on some!) - does anyone know if it's possible to get the last modified date on files in the feeds? This would make it easier to keep up...

Karlito, i know i' m doing something confusing with my feed. But this dues to the big work Sash, GPE-Guys and other contributors are doing about CVS and Beta releases.
Without thinking about the work i' m doing to compile all the packages for the Beta3 and passing to it.
Now, compiling on the CVS, is not the easiest way for cross-compilation.
As not all the packages are changed at time, but one and the ones related to it.
It may happens that a library changed for a utility breaks others.
This was the case of the gpe-calendar and gpe-today.
Now, we have to choose toghether the best politic for packaging.
Keeping all the packages from CVS would result in a waste of space, because as Sash and GPE update things, i have to seek them too.
And the old packages could confuse people.
So this is the things i' ll do, suggest me if i'm wrong.
1) I will post packages naming them with the exact version of the files taken from the CVS tag + the CVS day.
2) Insert the DEPS descriptions updated to that version.
3) Post only packages with functional dependencies and wait for the broken utilities to be fixed before posting them.
I.E. GPE-Today now it' s broken with the new libeventdb.so.1, i will leave the old libeventdb.so.0 on the Contrib change the related DEPS and wait until all the packages functions with the new libeventdb before deleting the old and leaving only the new.
This is the max i can do before having the right knowledge to code with the GTK+
BYEZ!!!!
P.S. We have to wait very big changements from all these people, think only that libschedule and gpe-calendar are being completely redesigning and PdaXrom Betas are seeking one by one with a vary fast developing.
THANKS TO ALL FOR THIS!!!!

Anything with the date on it would be great - this sounds fine.

Ok i tried the builder, spoke with Sash for some issues and now i' m ready to use it for next release.
Now, as Sash told me it 's coming out with the Beta4, i' ll wait directly for it before doing any compilation.
As installing now the Beta3 and recompiling all the ipks, could be useless, if these days surely Beta4 will be online.
In the meanwhile my studies for the GTK+ APIS go on.
Asap the Beta4 and BUILDER4 will be out, i' ll begin to recompile all my stuff.
BYEZ!

i just went through this thread & all I can say is WOW!! That's a whole lot of work & testing that's been put into this. My hats off to you all, especially to Xromer.

I just have one or two comments & one problem. I was able to get almost eveything working after installing all the gpe-* packages & then manually installing libgpevtype, sqlite (the one specifically form xromer's feed), libmimedir & atd. I'd suggest adding these to the dependancies so they install automatically.

I'd also suggest making a separate desktop folder (PIM) & sticking all of the apps together. IMHO of course .

So now gpe-contacts, gpe-announce, gpe-today & gpe-todo all run A-OK. BUT gpe-calendar just gives me a seg fault & dies. I tried copying over my calendar file from my OZ install, hoping that it was just because of the missing file. no joy. Any suggestions anyone can make? thks

P.S this is on my 860 under beta2

Thanks for your appreciations. But the real work is done by GPE guys and SashZ, i' m only trying to understand and seek them.
Now, i got finally a functional PdaXrom86 environment, chrooting into it, i began working on the builder. Compiled SDK and compiling all the root stuff to begin adding GPE stuff directly in the builder. So i can seek directly Sash, with the new betas release.
For the dependencies you are right, i miss them because i didn' t know how to manage them with the CVS tree.
Now that i know, after speaking with Karlito, i can begin to add them.
I saw many changements to the CVS so now, i will begin to pass to the new utilities and libs.
 
BYEZ!!

So if I understand, my problem can only be fixed by rebuilding the packages? If so, fine. I'll just have to be patient. Thanks for the help.

I don't think that's necessary, but there are quite a few dependencies - just keep installing until it works!

I'm pretty sure everything you need is in Xromer's feed - I have heard of problems with some installs but when everything is reinstalled it all goes...
