             Bug #: 7532
           Summary: opac-ics depends on Date::ICal which is largely
                    unmaintained
    Classification: Unclassified
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: OPAC

Date::ICal is no longer really maintained, and is being dropped by
Debian at least:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=653301

We should probably consider replacing it with DateTime::Format::ICal.

Date::ICal is only used in one place: opac/opac-ics.pl:

$ grep -ri 'Date::ical' *
C4/Installer/PerlDependencies.pm:    'Date::ICal' => {
INSTALL.fedora7:Date::ICal
opac/opac-ics.pl:use Date::ICal;
opac/opac-ics.pl:    my $datestart = Date::ICal->new( 
opac/opac-ics.pl:    my $dateend = Date::ICal->new( 

It's likely to make it hard to deploy the packages on a Debian testing system,
and also upsets my build process which uses a testing chroot.
