CalDAV sync: Created filename exceeds filesystems boundaries

[moritzheiber]

I'm using Linux on an ext4 filesystem. The filename length boundaries for it are 255 characters. Unfortunately, vdirsyncer is attempting to create .ics files with filenames longer than that when I try to sync my calendars:

Copying (uploading) item 80462778A326E04EBD831336D01F2A2F8CDA0FE60196F740BA7BD88203154998040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E00800000000305B620B76CACE01000000000000000010000000 to local/default

$ vdirsyncer --version
vdirsyncer, version 0.4.1

How would one go about fixing this?

Note: I removed some private information (mainly paths) from the output

The git version should fix this. Could you try with:

pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/untitaker/vdirsyncer.git

Also, I am wondering which program created the items with such long UIDs? The PRODID property inside the .ics files should tell.

[moritzheiber]

Which I can't give you since the file isn't being created ;)

Trying the git version now.

[untitaker]

Of course, but in case the git version works, you can :)

[moritzheiber]

It worked! And most of the entries seem to be coming from Thunderbird/"Mozilla Calendar".

We can close this issue though, using the git version fixes it.

0.4.2 is released.
