I think this would be nice, but not in bsdmainutils. This should be in a package by itself. [Technical musings: I would imagine that it would depend upon bsdmainutils and use calendar. But would have its own crontab file which would use the -f option to reach your specific calendar file. This would allow this to be rather independent of other packages.] > I have also created a calendar file exclusively for Debian, so it > could be included in the Debian distribution if users and maintainers > wish to do so. > 1. http://www.infodrom.org/projects/calendar/ http://cvs.infodrom.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/calendar/calendar.infodrom.debian?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=infodrom I looked at the dates for several Debian events such as Project Leader and failed to see a complete list. Here is a reference. Could you bring the calendar list up to date? http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/ch-leaders.html Under the "Debian releases" area I believe the text of the Infomagic message is too harsh. Debian should not be vindictive. I think that should eliminated. It was not a real Debian release. At the very least it should be softened to be factual only. Perhaps the prose from this reference could be a guide. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/ch-detailed.html Bob
