KDE calendar widget holiday  Topic is solved

Thu Sep 16, 2010 5:54 pm
I am from South Korea. I love the holiday functionality in calendar widget. Since I couldn't find any calendar offering this function in Ubuntu Gnome. But I couldn't find Korea in the holiday option. I would like to offer Korean holiday information to the widget. Or I set up the holiday by myself if that is not an option. How can I solve this issue? Thank you.

I recommend contacting kde-devel@kde.org regarding this, they will be able to guide you in the creation of the appropriate Korean holiday file, and adding it to KDE Upstream.

Don't bother emailing them, these instructions were posted on the mailing list this morning for someone trying to get Armenian holidays:

Hi Vardan,

I'm the maintainer of the holiday files in KDE, and requesting support is a
simple 3 steps:

1) Open a wish in bugs.kde.org with Product = kdepimlibs and Component =
kholidays.
2) Provide some reliable weblinks to the rules for calculating the holidays,
not just a list of dates and names. Wikipedia and other English websites are
OK for me to understand, but I usually prefer having an official government
website for confirmation and listing as the official reference for future
updates (this can be in Armenian if not available in English).
3) Be available to help with translating names and rules, answering questions,
and testing the new file when I've written it.

You could have a try writing the file yourself, but the format is a bit
archaic and not well documented. You can find the current holiday files at
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdepiml ... ays/plan2/ and if
you understand lex/yacc grammers then the code rules are at
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdepiml ... iew=markup
and
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdepiml ... iew=markup.

Cheers!
