The following reply was made to PR bin/34497; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Michael A. Dickerson" <mikey@singingtree.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, wilko@freebsd.org Cc: sheldonh@starjuice.net Subject: Re: bin/34497: calendar(1) does not understand calendars Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2002 02:01:05 -0800 (PST) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- (disclaimer: I haven't used gnats or contributed code before, so if I've gone about this all wrong, please accept my apologies.) I also encountered the calendar(1) problem where it doesn't understand recurring events such as 'the first Thursday of every month.' I fetched the OpenBSD calendar source and applied some minor hacks to get it to compile happily on FreeBSD. So, now I've got a calendar(1) that seems to understand recurring events correctly. I was also able to reproduce the 'Jan 33' problem from the original PR and verified that it is fixed in the new calendar. I've also created a patch and verified that it works against the /usr/src/usr.bin/calendar directory in my 4.5-STABLE source tree. However, this patch is rather large (at 60k, larger than the total size of the calendar sources). This is partly because I favored OpenBSD changes in a lot of unnecessary instances, since Sheldon Hearn suggested that it would be best to minimize differences with the OpenBSD version. Would someone please tell me the appropriate way to submit the patch? Is it acceptable to post text attachments of that size here?
