Description Mike Pogue 2008-04-30 14:43:19 UTC
I just switched from Solaris to OpenSolaris as my working OS, and OpenSolaris
does not seem to come with dtcm or a good dtcm equivalent.  

The calendar in Thunderbird seems to be local-only -- we couldn't figure out
how to get it to talk to Sun's remote calendar server.  Evolution mail/calendar
seems to want to setup email accounts, before it lets us see what it can do in
the way of calendar.

To install /usr/dt/bin/dtcm requires a non-obvious set of steps, something like
this:

   cd /net/netinstall/export/nv/x/86/Solaris-11/Product
   su root
   pkgadd -d `pwd` SUNWmfrun SUNWdtbas SUNWdtcor SUNWdtdst SUNWtltk SUNWctpls

and, we all know that dtcm is a crappy solution anyway.  

So, as we start moving internally to OpenSolaris/Indiana, we need to solve the
calendar problem....

Perhaps Mozilla's SunBird project might be worth looking into?

As I know, dtcm connects to dtcalendar only which has been deperated.
The new calendar server is our edge calendar server. Both Evolution and
Thunderbird's lightning plugin could connect to it.

For Evolution setup, please see 
http://www.go-evolution.org/Evolution_JESCS
The connector is in Indiana. The pacage name is SUNWevolution-jescs.

Lightning is in Indiana, too. The package name is SUNWthunderbird-calendar.

Mark as fixed.
