[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#872735: orage: VEVENT starting before 'DT...; VALUE=DATE:20000101' aren't shown
Package: orage
Version: 4.12.1-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
orage doesn't show birthdays, anniversaries etc. which are starting before
1970. And there are also no alarms. This seems to be an old bug which affects a
lot of calendar programms.
e.g.: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751821
I found a simple workaround by editing involved .ics files:
sed -i -r 's/VALUE=DATE:19[0-9][0-9]/VALUE=DATE:2000/g' <ics_file>
Missing dates are now shown as expected.
