Package: remind
Version: 03.01.05-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi.
putting "INCLUDE ~/.somethingelse" into ~/.reminders yields
".reminders(1): Can't open file: ~/.somethingelse" when executing
remind -c .reminders.
this seems like a bug to me, since ~ is where a user probably wants to
put his reminders...
the attached patch simply replaces ^~ by $HOME just before fopen is
called. i hope it's not too much a hack...
regards
felix
