date column right in komacv

Question

I'm using komacv (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/komacv) for my resume and want to move the dates column to the right side, similar to that: How to move date column in moderncv? (this only works for moderncv, not for komacv). Any ideas?

Btw. I cannot put the tag "komacv", because of lack of reputation.

Here is a simple example (derived from the example shipped with komacv):

\documentclass[%
]{komacv}

\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\clearscrheadfoot
\ifoot{CV~\firstname~\familyname}
\ofoot{\pagemark/\totalpagemark}

Answer 1

The solution depends on the version of komacv. Below you find patches for the versions 2014/08/10 v1.0.1 and 2017/04/17 v1.1.1.
