Description Aljoscha Vollmerhaus 2010-02-03 09:44:04 UTC
While googling around for a solution to run a cron script only on non-holidays, i found the "wday" program, which seems to provide a very sleek way to tell whether it´s a holiday from a script.

Would be really nice to have it included in portage.

wday:  http://www.nongnu.org/wday/index.html

Should be relatively easy to maintain as it seems to be very small

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. eix for wday
2. ???
3. profit

The download link for this seems to be broken, and I can't find another. Do you know if wday is still available anywhere? If not, we may be forced to mark this CANTFIX.

There is a new project page at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/wday/ with the downloads at http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/wday/

However, the last release is from 2004. Not sure if there is any sense in including this.

Thanks! I'm just trying to figure out which of these old bugs is truly obsolete (dead upstream, no source available...). As long as the page is there, I'll leave it alone, but if you don't care any more you can always close it yourself.
