Any idea why libical has been removed from the archive? e.g. sunbird
uses/includes it too, so maybe it makes sense to have it back in the
archive.

At that time, libical was upstream-dead, had bugs and almost every project 
that neede it used a customized and modified version of it.

Maybe it comes back to live here:

What library to use for manipulation iCal data from C

2006-04-05 Thread Søren Boll Overgaard
Hello,

In summary: 
What library, if any in Debian, do I want to use if I want to work with iCal 
data in C?

The longer version:
I am currently working with the upstream of calcurse[1] on adding support for
the iCal calendaring data format to the program. I assumed that someone else
had already written a library which would simplify my task. This turned out to
be right:

http://www.aurore.net/projects/libical/

Unfortunately, it seems, a number of applications provide the functionality
exported by this library. Specifically, as far as I can tell, evolution and
some KDE module[2]. Additionally, libical is not currently in Debian, while it
appears to have been at some point. So, as mentioned previously, I am at a loss
as to what library to use for manipulating iCal data in C.

Pointers and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any reason to limit such a lib to iCal? After all, iCal is derived 
from vCal which has the same format like a whole family:
vCard 2.1 and 3.0
vCal 1.0
iCal
some IrMC files

and maybe others. Main difference seem to be line wrapping. 'v' stands for 
versit, so libversit would be a nice name ;)

However, this is off-topic, here.
