pal for Debian
==============

For more information about pal visit http://palcal.sourceforge.net/. Feedback
to palcal-devel@lists.sourceforge.net is also welcome and appreciated.


ical2pal and pal2ical
---------------------

NOTE: ical2pal and pal2ical are very new and likely contain bugs.

This version includes the source code of ical2pal and pal2ical, two utilities
to convert events between the ical format (described in RFC 2445 and others)
and the pal format.

However, these are a beta versions, and it neither compiled nor installed. The
source code and a Makefile can be found in /usr/share/doc/pal/examples/.
Please, compile them at your own risk, and only if you know what you're doing.

Also, notice that ical2pal and pal2ical depend on the libical library
(http://www.softwarestudio.org/libical/), currently not available as a debian
package. If you don't want to add trash to your system, remember to build
libical with "./configure --prefix=/usr/local".


Other calendars
---------------

System calendars can be found under /usr/share/pal/. In Debian systems you can
find more calendars under /usr/share/calendar/, provided by the package
bsdmainutils, however pal can't understand nor convert them.
