@m040601: You have to rebuild kcgi, the kcaldav package itself doesn't need to be updated.

There is a problem with this PKGBUILD for "kcaldav" or its dependency "kcgi" It links to non existing files.

I think the problem lies in it dependency "kcgi"

A rebuild does not solve the issue. It still links to "not found" stuff,

I see, thanks for the update!

@fordprefect: I was waiting to add the post-install notice before updating .SRCINFO, which I just did a moment ago. Thanks!

Thanks for the PKGBUILD update. To reflect updates also in aurweb you'd need to update the .SRCINFO as well…

The PKGBUILD seems to miss installing the main compilation artefact, the cgi binary 'kcaldav', which has to be relocated by the user to match their webserver configuration. I'd propose moving it to /usr/share/kcaldav and notify the user via install message of the necessary configuration steps. Also, you could consider building from downloaded archives instead of pinning a specific commit.
