[Bug 1373987] Re: Cread/Read/Update/Delete API for alarms
I agree with Charles, especially that QtOrganizer is just not made for
such a functionality we are using it right now. A proper API which would
interact with indicator-datetime would be cleaner and - why not - faster
than the current EDS solution.

Title:
Cread/Read/Update/Delete API for alarms

Bug description:
As described in bug #1361702 we currently require "magic" tags in our
VTODO events in order to treat clock-app alarms differently from other
todo events imported from other calendar sources. This special
treatment has to exist in both indicator-datetime and ubuntu-calendar-
app.
In the #ubuntu-app-devel discussion on Sept 24, zsombi, mihir, nik90
and I agreed that it would make more sense to decouple the alarms from
EDS altogether.
Earlier this year there was an aborted attempt to get a public "clean
C" API for this into platform-API. That could be revived.
However, since that time the datetime alarm service has become the de-
facto location for alarms and provides a DBus API for setting alarm
duration, vibrate mode, default alarm sounds, and the like. The
general agreement in the #ubuntu-app-devel discussion was that this
API could be extended with an alarm create/read/update/delete API.
This latter option should be picked up post-RTM so that we can remove
the temporary workarounds implemented for bug #1361702.
