Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 9.0.12+nmu1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The -h option to cal(1) was removed with the rationale (given in
response to bug #867995:
> Yes, but this is by design as the docs say cal is supposed to be
> drop-in compatible to the original cal command.
That's well and good, but then cal should not highlight at all, because
a plain display without other control characters is the traditional
behavior of Unix cal. Because cal still adds highlighting, that
interferes with post-processing its output (which is the why the manpage
says it should be "bit for bit compatible").
Thanks,
Aaron
