I intend to file the following report. Any comments? Package: bsdmainutils Version: 8.0.11 Severity: normal Tags: patch
calendar.judaic was last updated in 2007. Due to the nature of the Jewish calendar, it renders the file unusable. To address the difficulties facing the maintaner, a python script is included. This script offers the maintainer a way to create the file as required. The script is not limited to a single year. Just enter the desired year as an argument in the command line. I suggest to keep this script in the Debian directory of the source package. $ cat calendarJudaic.py #! /usr/bin/python # Filename: calendarJudaic.py # # License: no warranty close + no license (public domain) # # Creates a calendar.judaic file, which is suitable for inclusion # in Debian's bsdmainutils package. Up to the introductory of # this script the calendar.judaic file was not updated regulary. # Probably because updating it is time consuming. This python # script let anyone create that file, for any year. Its output is # written to stdout. It requires the libhdate-python package. # A small part of the holidays might require manual editing # because the state of Israel modifies the actual date by a few # days due to various considerations. # References: # http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il/msg58169.html # http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il/msg58321.html # http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il/msg58451.html from string import Template import hdate, optparse, sys, time def main(): description = '''Description: Creates a calendar.judaic file, which is suitable for inclusion in Debian's bsdmainutils package.
