Bug#964566: ncal: please handle /usr/bin/cal + manpage via alternatives

Show all headers | View raw

Package: ncal
Version: 12.1.3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I’ve packaged (some time ago already) cal(1) from OpenBSD, because
it/its documentation guarantees a flag to get German calendar weeks
(KWs) as “kwal” (specifically for that).

While I’ve not (yet) uploaded this to Debian itself, kwal could
also provide cal(1) as ncal is available separately and these two
packages could handle this using alternatives.

Both their command line options and feature set differs. Check
http://www.mirbsd.org/~tg/Debs/dists/sid/wtf/Pkgs/kwal/ if you’re
interested.
