Bug#554561: bsdmainutils: potential calendar fixes?
Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 6.1.10
Severity: wishlist
Hi. I've been saving calendar oddities (IMO) in a separate file, and
include it as you suggested before.
I won't argue with you about them. These are just stuff I question. Do
what you will with them. Easiest is to point a browser at it.
I apologise for the need to go into "stream of conciousness" mode to grok
what I mean in some cases. I'll be happy to try to explain anything
that appears nonsensical.
Just trying to help. Have fun. :-)
