Description

I want to sync with a remote read-only calendar over CalDAV and when the data changed, combine all calendar objects into one and render the objects int HTML. To my undestanding storage type singlefile is slow, in particular it is slower than doing cat of all files.

Please make “vdirsyncer sync” return different exit code, depending on whether some dara was updated. I want to concatenade the calendar object files, only when this operation has added value.

Research direction

Start at the vdirsyncer sync command and trace how synchronization reports whether data changed. Define the expected statuses for updated and unchanged data, then verify that the unchanged case can skip concatenating and rendering calendar objects.
