  • import upstream version 7.2.0
  • Fix Lintian errors and warnings

  • Review and forward patches against libical (and libvmime, see above) on upstream. For now it seems we can run with the versions of the revitalized package.

  • WebApp tarball ships jQuery, extjs (3.4) and TinyMCE 4.0. (TinyMCE does not seem to be in the debian repositories)

    • Lintian is complaining about jquery-1.6.2.min.js, player.swf, moxieplayer.swf, ext-{base,all}.js, prettify.js
