"GCALDaemon is an OS-independent Java program that offers two-way synchronization between Google Calendar and various iCalendar compatible calendar applications. GCALDaemon is primarily designed as a calendar synchronizer but it can also be used as a Gmail notifier, Address Book importer, Gmail terminal and RSS feed converter."

Created attachment 165150 [details] gcaldaemon-1.0_beta16.ebuild A slightly corrected version of the ebuild.
Hi, this is a nice program. Maybe you can take a more active stance and make init-scripts that start this daemon. Per user would be best. You could look at app-emacs/emacs-daemon for inspiration.

Created attachment 220651 [details] updated ebuild Based on Jan's ebuild i tried to improve it somewhat. It will use java-pkg-2 to install the jar files and it has a gcaldaemon wrapper script that canbe used to start/stop/configure the daemon and that replaces the shipped scripts. Config, log and work directory will be kept in every users $HOME/.gcaldaemon directory if using my wrapper script (next attachement) I tried to get rid of some included .jar files by defining some DEPEND's but this ends up in 38 packages that have to be installed.. so I reverted that for now.
Created attachment 220653 [details] /usr/bin/gcaldaemon this is the gcaldaemon wrapper script. Put it into the files/ directory before emerging the ebuild.
Created attachment 227591 [details] Minor change JAVA="java -Xmx256m" to JAVA="java -Xmx512m" to avoid out-of-memory errors

Project seems to have remained at 1.0_beta16 ever since 2008 - is this still a thing?
