Package: bsdmainutils Version: 6.0.17 Severity: wishlist
The -3 switch for cal which gives the last/present/next month is a great thing to have. So it'd be even greater IMO if cal could default to the present year while accepting _ranges_ of months: i.e. 7-9 or 7,9,11 for the months July/August/September or July/September/November, for the current year, etc. Adding a year argument after that, of course, would mean that you were asking for those months in that year -- all this requiring, I suppose, the re-jigging of cal to not default to a one-argument list representing a year (though insisting on always including the year first is clearly not an obstacle). I don't see this as being an insurmountable challenge to implement; but perhaps accepted usage would nix this type of change. Hope this can be implemented. I think it would be very useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (998, 'testing'), (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.20 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages bsdmainutils depends on: ii bsdutils 1:2.12p-4 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand -- debconf information: bsdmainutils/calendar_lib_is_not_empty: bsdmainutils/calendar_config_moved: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
