$ sudo apt install calendar -y

According to man the following files should come with it:
FILES
calendar File in current directory.
~/.calendar Directory in the user's home directory (which calendar changes into, if it
exists).
~/.calendar/calendar File to use if no calendar file exists in the current directory.
~/.calendar/nomail calendar will not send mail if this file exists.
calendar.all International and national calendar files.
calendar.birthday Births and deaths of famous (and not-so-famous) people.
calendar.canada Canadian holidays.
calendar.christian Christian holidays (should be updated yearly by the local system administra‐
tor so that roving holidays are set correctly for the current year).
calendar.computer Days of special significance to computer people.
calendar.croatian Croatian calendar.
calendar.discord Discordian calendar (all rites reversed).
calendar.fictional Fantasy and fiction dates (mostly LOTR).
calendar.french French calendar.
calendar.german German calendar.
calendar.history Miscellaneous history.
calendar.holiday Other holidays (including the not-well-known, obscure, and really obscure).
calendar.judaic Jewish holidays (should be updated yearly by the local system administrator
so that roving holidays are set correctly for the current year).
calendar.music Musical events, births, and deaths (strongly oriented toward rock 'n' roll).
calendar.nz New Zealand calendar.
calendar.openbsd OpenBSD related events.
calendar.pagan Pagan holidays, celebrations and festivals.
calendar.russian Russian calendar.
calendar.space Cosmic history.
calendar.uk UK calendar.
calendar.ushistory U.S. history.
calendar.usholiday U.S. holidays.
calendar.world World wide calendar.
Am so so excited that calendar.canada is included that way I can never miss any other of my royals' celebration.
For example by issuing calendar -t 0609 -A 21 -f /usr/share/calendar/calendar.canada I would be querying the CA events for a three-week period. The problem is that this file did not came with the calendar package:
$ ls /usr/share/calendar
calendar.all calendar.discordian calendar.judaic calendar.newzealand calendar.world
calendar.argentina calendar.dutch calendar.judaic.2020 calendar.pagan de_AT
calendar.australia calendar.eu calendar.judaic.2021 calendar.russian de_DE
calendar.belgium calendar.freebsd calendar.judaic.2022 calendar.southafrica fr_FR
calendar.birthday calendar.french calendar.judaic.2023 calendar.thai hr_HR
calendar.christian calendar.german calendar.judaic.2024 calendar.ubuntu hu_HU
calendar.computer calendar.history calendar.kazakhstan calendar.ukrainian pt_BR
calendar.croatian calendar.holiday calendar.lotr calendar.unitedkingdom ru_RU
calendar.debian calendar.hungarian calendar.music calendar.usholiday uk_UA
So my questions are:
- What's the easiest way to get this file installed and
- Why is UA listed in there but not CA and
- Can moving forward
/usr/share/calendar/calendar.canadabe included into UM versions?
Cheers!
