jnemeth c189d3256b - update all dates that varies (hopefully, they'll be correct for the
first year that NetBSD 5.0 is out)
- add release date of NetBSD 4.0

XXX  There are several UK "Bank Holidays" in calendar.holiday.  Could
     somebody update those and give an indication of when they are, please?

reed 2680c8169c 3 typos/mispellings.
A lot more to do in here as many spellings are wrong or inconsistent.
2007-08-24 14:35:17 +00:00
reed 85a0c6744d Edit the "Women get the vote" entry to say "get the right to vote".
(Since "get the vote" doesn't tell much here about how a legislator
made the last vote to put this in effect.)
And so this calendar entry mentions U.S. also mention the 19th
Amendment to US Constitution.

reed 4f402e3972 Add the year for:
08/15  Beatles replace drummer Pete Best with Richard Starkey, 1962
(While http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringo_Starr
says this happened on August 16 not the 15th.)
2007-08-14 13:15:06 +00:00
reed 3a6e61c6ab Remove "that" from a long calendar entry that wrapped over two lines.
While there remove a "that" from another entry too.

jwise 8399bed491 Without commenting on what musicians do or do not belong in this file (the
current selection shows it's early eighties NoCal roots), if we're going to
include the births and deaths of other members of the Grateful Dead, we
should presumably include Jerry Garcia as well.

Make it so.

jwise 0427d88cfc Eid-ul-Fitr is never in July, is celebrated in all Muslim lands (not just
Pakistan), and is a variable holiday.

Update to the date of its next occurrence (since calendar(1) does not
support the Muslim calendar), and fix its description accordingly.
2006-11-20 17:21:28 +00:00
jwise cb64006105 Update through a year from today. Barring support for the hebrew calendar
in calendar(1), this will have to do.  While there, tweak a few spellings,
and add a missing holiday.

Dates checked against http://www.hebcal.com/

jwise 500bebac90 It seems reasonable to include Christmas in calendar.christian. Per the
mishmash of anglican, catholic and other feast names included herein, use
both `Christmas' and `Feast of the Nativity' to denote this holiday.

This calendar could use serious updating, but it would be worth adding
better support for floating holidays first.

jwise c0b02c27ef Begin major reworking of calendar.history. Goals are:
* every day of the year should have at least one entry
  * all entries should have been fact-checked against reliable sources,
    particularly for dates
  * calendar should contain a fair balance of world history -- existing
    calendar, being based on that shipped in 4.2BSD, was very northern
    california-centric.

This commit meets these guidelines through March 13.  I will continue to
update this as time permits.

And used spaces (instead of tab) for one entry to be consistent with rest
