A calendar as a file tree, and tools that only know the tree:
events/date/yyyy/mm/dd/hhmm-summary as lived
events/uuid/<uid>/ as stored
ctl query alarm changed
lib/cal owns all of that. A backend supplies events and, where its
protocol allows, takes changes back -- six methods. cmd/icalfs is the
first: it reads .ics files from a directory and nothing else, because
fetching is rc/fetch's job and hget already exists. That keeps
net/http out of the binary and makes a subscribed calendar and a local
one the same thing.
The tools are rc on purpose. If the tree needs a compiled program to be
useful, the tree is the wrong shape. Three things were added to the
tree because the rc port needed them: a path from an occurrence to its
event, epoch seconds beside RFC3339, and a numeric slot for all-day
events so test(1) can compare it.
ctl reports caps, so a tool can say "read only" instead of trying and
failing. A published .ics is read only: nowhere to PUT, and no
METHOD:REQUEST to reply to. CalDAV would be read write rsvp schedule,
and that is the next backend.
