-We have created RPM packages of DAViCal and libawl-php from the .deb packages -using "alien". These are reported to work fine, so use them and then proceed to the -Pre-requisites section below. If you would like to work with us to create native -RPM packages please get in touch!
+In many cases, you will need to download the latest versions of
+the DAViCal and awl packages from

+GitLab. More details on this are on

On SuSE Linux you may need to look in /var/lib/pgsql/data/ for the pg_hba.conf file.
- -Davical and the awl library ebuilds are available on the sunrise overlay. -You'll have to add this overlay to your system:
--emerge layman -layman -f -a sunrise -echo "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf -- -
From there, you can keep the overlay in sync with the command:
-layman -s sunrise- -
Davical can now be installed with a normal:
-emerge davical- -
You will need to download the latest versions of the DAViCal and awl packages
-from the sourceforge download page for DAViCal.
You will need to untar these. Preferably you will untar them from within the "/usr/share" directory and everything
-will be in it's expected location (well, except the docs, but it will at least be tidy and everything will be in one place).

Since the CalDAV store takes over a significant amount of path -hierarchy, it can be easier in it's own virtual +hierarchy, it can be easier in its own virtual host. If you want it to operate within the web root of some other application there are instructions on the Wiki about doing this, as well as other fancy tricks such as configuring URL rewriting in
