Lightning doesn't appear to be in the Debian repository. There is
actually a package, "lightning", with description: "library for
assembly code compilation at runtime".
FYIs on lightning:
*The data Lightning writes is not fully version-compatible. That is, if
files are being worked on with 0.9 (the current release), attempts to
use the calendar with 0.9 or a previous release will produce errors that
you may be corrupting the calendar.
*If you use Lightning with ssl (are storing a calendar with CalDav and
provide an https:// address) and are also using TLS to secure email
communications, users may experience a prolonged "hang", lasting a few
minutes, on startup of the program. Why this is goes beyond my level of
ability, but I suspect there's an issue with trying to establish two
encrypted connections from the same program simultaneously. I say that
because if you disable TLS, the problem goes away. This is for an IMAP
connection.
Both of these apply under both windows and linux.
