A user asked for their Google Calendar to be synchronised with |
| 19 |
Korganizer/Kontact and ISTR I enabled USE="google" in kde-base/kdepim-runtime, |

A few months ago Google were using DAV for this purpose, but they decided to |
| 23 |
change their API. As a result older =< 4.4.11.1-r2 KDEPIM versions broke and |
| 24 |
one had to move to the current versions of KDEPIM in order to use Google |
| 25 |
Calendar integration. |
