[Pkg-owncloud-maintainers] Bug#780313: sabredav: add support for Icedove's "Mailing List"

[Paul Muster]

Package: php-sabre-dav
Version: 1.8.10-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

could you please add support for Idedove's feature "Mailing List"?

Icedove calls "Mailing List" a set of addressbook entries. One can e.g.
write an e-mail to members of this list at once.

When synchronizing an addressbook (including such a "Mailing List") with SoGo Connector
24.0.5 or 31.0.1 between Icedove 31.4.0 and Owncloud an error is shown in Icedove's error console:

---
Upload failure uploading list:
https://<URL>/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/<user>/default/<ID>.vlf.
HTTP Status Code:415
  * card properties:
  0 prop: [xpconnect wrapped nsIProperty];  name: DisplayName; value: TEstlist
  1 prop: [xpconnect wrapped nsIProperty];  name: RecordKey; value: 57
  2 prop: [xpconnect wrapped nsIProperty];  name: PreferMailFormat; value: 0
  3 prop: [xpconnect wrapped nsIProperty];  name: DbRowID; value: 1
  4 prop: [xpconnect wrapped nsIProperty];  name: PopularityIndex; value: 0
  5 prop: [xpconnect wrapped nsIProperty];  name: LastName; value: TEstlist
  6 prop: [xpconnect wrapped nsIProperty];  name: LastModifiedDate; value: 0
  * done

On server side the following is logged:

---
ownCloud[6315]: {carddav} Sabre\DAV\Exception\UnsupportedMediaType: This collection can only support vcard objects.

If you need more information please tell me about!


Thanks & greetings,

Paul
