Package: birthday
Version: 1.6.2-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Hi,
I'd like an option to ouput the date at the end of each line of list
view - sometimes e.g. "2 weeks and 2 days time" isn't that
user-friendly.
A patch is attached that adds the -L switch to do this. Example
output:
mv3@deskpro108655:$ birthday -L
test is 9 years old today.
testy is 8 years old in 2 days' time (22 April).
zesty is 0 years old in 3 days' time (23 April).
Thanks,
Matthew
