Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 8.0.13
"cal -m" output on Lenny (bsdmainutils-6.1.10):
November 2011
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su
1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30
The first day of the week is set to Monday, and each week is displayed as
a row.
The meaning of "-m" changed in Squeeze. In its place, "-M" was added; see
bug 561403, pkgver 8.0.6, and "debian/patches/ncal_mfdow.diff". However,
"-M" only works if "flag_backward" is set to zero, which is equivalent to
invoking "cal" under a different name, like "ncal". But "ncal -M" produces
the following output:
November 2011
Mo 7 14 21 28
Tu 1 8 15 22 29
We 2 9 16 23 30
Th 3 10 17 24
Fr 4 11 18 25
Sa 5 12 19 26
Su 6 13 20 27
Each week is displayed as a column, not a row. It's inconvenient.
Summary: "-M" only works with "ncal", and "ncal" forces column-major
output. There's no way to combine "-M" with row-major output, which is
what I got accustomed to in previous Debian releases.
Thank you very much,
Laszlo

Just use "ncal -M -b".
