Update for vobject 0.9.3

[protist]

I'm installing khard (git version) in Arch Linux. However, a recent update prevents it from working, presumably because khard wants vobject 0.9.2, and the current version in Arch is 0.9.3.

pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (vobject 0.9.3 (/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages), Requirement.parse('vobject==0.9.2'), {'khard'})

FWIW I'm using the latest version of khard-git 0.11.3.r0.g95ef4cf-1.

The vobject version was pinned due to issue skarim/vobject#39. Khard
is confirmed to work with vobject version 0.9.2. If I hadn't pinned that version, other users would
run into the encoding errors. So please install khard within a virtual environment for now. When the
bug in the underlying library is fixed, I will make a new release and remove the version pinning.

[protist]

Thank you for that information. I'll just pin it locally too. Feel free to close this issue if you like. Cheers.

The vevent issue (https://github.com/eventable/vobject/issuses/39) has an update that suggests it's been fixed.

Err, skarim/vobject#39 rather

I've made some changes to the khard develop branch to support vobject 0.9.4.1. Seems to work fine. Could anyone with base64 encoded contact attributes confirm that?

[protist]

I upgraded both and they seem to work fine for me too. I'm not really sure how to tell if I have base64 encoded contact attributes, though?

[scheibler]

Find contacts with base64 encoded attributes like photos with: ``` grep -r "ENCODING=B" ~/contacts ``` If you find a contact then try to edit it with: ``` khard ed <your contact> ``` vobject version history: - 0.9.2: Parsing fails - 0.9.3: Parsing should work but editing fails - 0.9.4.1: Both should work

[protist]

That seemed to work fine. I edited the contact, and khard said Modification successful.

FWIW I had other contacts with photos that had ENCODING=b (lower case b).

[scheibler]

Thanks for testing. I'am glad, that this library issue seems to be fixed at last. I'll wait a few more days, just to be sure and then create a new khard release, based on the current develop branch.

Khard version 0.11.4 released.
