Motivation for this change

Google calendar support is currently broken in vdirsyncer (pimutils/vdirsyncer#765). There exists a PR at vdirsyncer for that (pimutils/vdirsyncer#788) but they are really slow to respond—thus this PR which adds the patch right away.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Why the down vote? I'm really interested in your opinion—did I make a mistake?

You didn't make a mistake. It's just that I'm not sure if we should force this patch down the throat of every NixOS user given that you admit not to be familiar with the code and given that the code seems to deal with certificate validation.
This patch seems rather easy to find and aplly using overrideAttrs for everyone with the problem.

PS: I admit I'm also not the biggest fan of patches to make proprietary services that aren't standards-compliant work.

OK, you're probably right there.

I agree with that. I hate to still have to use Google Calendar (but I cannot—yet—change that).
