[SOLVED] Patch to restore Google calendars to KOrganizer

Google changed the API interface for their contacts, which breaks KOrganizer implementation of Google Calendars. This has been reported as a bug, here:

KOrganizer Bug 449024

There is a patch attached to that report that several people have reported as working.  It has been a long time since I compiled from source, and even longer since I compiled something contained in the main Arch repos (Victim of Arch's success and stability).  I have never applied a patch.

Normally I would be patient and wait for the fix to go mainstream, but this is a production machine, and I use Google Calendars for all my appointment keeping for work and personal needs.

I downloaded the source file for KOrganizer from the Arch repo, but there is no PKGBUILD file to add the patch file into.

Could someone help me patch this software until a new working version is released?

Thank you!

Correction - the patch is actually for KDE-PIM

In case anyone else comes across this.  I am compiling now, hopefully with the patch applied.

Edit: It compiled, patched, installed and appears to work again!

Thanks Slithery!
