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.  :-)
