F. A. Q.

How do I sync my Calendar?

Use your favourite "Cloud" service, git-annex, Seafile, Owncloud, BTSync, syncthing etc. You could also just use good old git.

How do I view my calendar if ockcal is not available?

Just open the file with a text editor!

wow
    such plain text
 many editor
   very simple
 amaze!

Why is the calendar file gets copied to a new location before writing?

This is because of Haskell's lazy IO. Haskell reads chunks of a file in on demand. This consumes less memory and spreads reading and calculating more or less homogenous across runtime.

This is actually also a feature: If a runtime error occurs whilst calculating the data to write, we still have a safe copy which in that case also would not be deleted.

Why has it this stupid name?

Because of Ockham's razor.
