Hi user-groups@freebsd.org If you are a convenor or attender of FreeBSD or other user group or other periodic meetings, timed for eg 3rd Thursday in Month, or Last Tuesday, or First Monday etc: Be Warned: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE calendar is broken, (8.1 is not broken). With 8.2 you will no longer receive reminders for such meetings. Temporary work round: Leave ~/.calendar on a machine running 8.1 or older. To discuss code issues, eg whether code should be reverted or fixed etc, I have set header: Reply-to: hackers@freebsd.org Forwarded from: "Julian Stacey" <jhs@berklix.com> http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/ ------- Forwarded Message To: Jaakko Heinonen <jh@freebsd.org> cc: hackers@freebsd.org, Ivana Belgers <ivana@giga.giga.nl>, edwin@freebsd.org Subject: Re: regression error with calendar From: "Julian H.

Ah Yes, that's the same problem. Thanks ! Can FreeBSD please revert the broken code out of CVS, until/ if author / importer / whoever might want to fix it. The new code breaks basic common functionality, to add rare usage exotica. Broken calendar code failed to mail prompt me to call meetings in time. Probably caused lots of missed reminders.
