[Bug 1424924] [NEW] clock-app alarms' RRULE have unusual X-EVOLUTION-ENDDATE, causing alarms to not sound

 

Public bug reported:

I'm not sure yet what's causing this, but the symptom is for
~/.local/share/evolution/tasks/${foo}@ubuntu-phablet/tasks.ics to have
entries whose rrule looks like this:

> RRULE;X-EVOLUTION-ENDDATE=19700101T000000Z:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=32639;
>  BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR
> SUMMARY:Weekday wakeup

When is should look more like this:

> RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR

Alarms appear / trigger again after manually editing tasks.ics to remove
the invalid X-EVOLUTION-ENDDATE and COUNT values, then restarting
evolution-calendar-factory and indicator-datetime.

ENDDATE's clearly coming from a (time_t)0. Not sure about 32639, but
it's INT16_MAX - 128, so we've got that.
