Bug#866794: gnome-calendar: No CalDAV support?
Package: gnome-calendar Version: 3.22.4-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I've just upgraded from jessie to stretch, and while I note the pleasing UI of the new calendar which replaces evolution, I cannot find a means of adding CalDAV calendars to it: there's a huge list of options, but nothing that seems to support CalDAV, which I used successfully on jessie. Currently if I try to add a calendar, it asks me to add an account, but the list of account types doesn't seem to include anything that would permit use of a CalDAV URL. I can't see any mention of DAV in the release notes either for this or for stretch itself. Any suggestions please?

Yep; my emails are in here in non-chronological order, took me a while to discover the evolution workaround. It's a bit counterintuitive to have to use what's ostensibly an email client to add calendars though. > I only use it to connect to my Google account, but there is an option > under Calendar Icon > Calendar Settings > Add > From Web. Does that > work for you? No: as I enter the URL, the border of the text box swirls green as if it's checking the URL as I type, but before I reach the end of the address the swirling stops, and when I do finish the URL, the "add" button is greyed out so I can't continue. The address is of the form: https://hostname:/some/path/calendarname/ .. and works fine when entered via the evolution workaround. C.
