Well, this is a case where I damned if I do and damned if I don't. In my queue of patches I address this problem. If I submit them all at once it's a problem for reviewing. If I piecemeal the changes then they don't make sense. Sometimes I wish that I could present the final result before submitting any patches. The year header is currently broken in other contexts as well; it is better to keep it in the month header as it is for all other output. Then I repurpose the top header to display the calendar system: Gregorian, Julian, Mixed. I think this is needed now that we have multiple options that control which calendar system is being displayed. You want to add more reform dates in the future which will make showing which calendar system is displayed all the more relevant. I'll post my next set and hopefully you will see where I'm going. Note: the next set is intended to apply on top of these two patches. > > Karel > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
