This is bsdmainutils, a collection of userland programs from the *BSD source
distributions. All of the program except for calendar(1) and lorder(1) come
from FreeBSD, while these two come from OpenBSD. The calendars themselves
mostly come from FreeBSD though, but not all.

These sources were originally pacakged by Austin Donnelly
<and1000@debian.org>, and were based heavily on bsdutils, which was
originally put together by Ian Murdock <imurdock@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.

After that, the package was maintained by Charles Briscoe-Smith
<cpbs@debian.org>. He gathered data for the 1999-2001 calendar files from
various sources on the Internet. Oliver Elphick, Julian Gilbey, Daniel
Martin and Jaldhar H. Vyas provided much useful data on the various religous
calendars.

After Charles, Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it> maintained the package for almost
two years, before Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@debian.org> took over followed by
Graham Wilson <bob@decoy.wox.org> and Daniel Baumann <daniel@debian.org>.
The package is now maintained by Giacomo Catenazzi <cate@debian.org> and
Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org>.

Graham Wilson replaced the FreeBSD calendar(1) with the calendar from
OpenBSD(1), thanks to a suggestion from Matt Zimmerman. Nicolas Évrard provided
calendar files for the EU and Belgium, and Martin Schulze provided a calendar
with Debian dates.

See /usr/share/doc/bsdmainutils/source.data.gz for more information on calendar
sources.
