Readme for ical-0.0.1
[back to package description]ical
iCalendar parser.
Also usable as a command-line tool called ical-org to generate
org-mode agenda files.
Usage
$ ical-org
ical-org: expected <input.ics> <output.org> [--base=YYYY-MM-DD (default: 1970-01-01)]
Install
$ stack install ical
Dev
$ git clone https://github.com/chrisdone/ical.git
$ cd ical
$ stack build
$ stack exec -- ical-org input.ics output.org
Typical use
I've setup on my server a crontab that will run this command every 5 minutes.
Here is my crontab entry:
*/5 * * * * sh /home/chris/gc-update
Here is my gc-update script:
mkdir -p /tmp/ical
cd /tmp/ical
wget https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/chrisdone%40gmail.com/private-<my code here>/basic.ics
/home/chris/.local/bin/ical-org basic.ics basic.org --base=2015-06-01
cp basic.org /home/chris/Dropbox/Org/gc.org
rm -r /tmp/ical
My org-mode files are stored in Dropbox, so this update is replicated to my Dropbox which then my desktop computer will download only if there is any change.
Open the file e.g. gc.org into an Emacs buffer and enable M-x auto-revert-mode.

Known issues
I can't be bothered to resolve time zones yet. There is some work involved in reading them in, involving daylight savings time. For now everything is assumed to be UTC, but given that the main use-case, outputting org-mode files, only outputs dates, this is not a huge problem.
