Package: libhowardhinnant-date-dev
Version: 3.0.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Thanks for packaging howardhinnant-date!
(and a big honor to be the first to report a bug against this package ☺)

I have a local program I would like to compile against the headers
shipped in Debian rather than taking care of updating it myself once in
a while, but my code is using the `iso_week.h` header of this
project as well, which sadly is not included in this package so far.

Same for the other header-only "add ons" mentioned in the README for the
date library, so it would be nice if they could be included.

Not just for me, but perhaps also for packaged stuff:
I don't know if e.g. `r-cran-tzdb` does use these add ons¹, but it seems
to ship an embedded copy of the entire set of headers, so I presume
before this copy could be removed the others would need to be included
here.

(Sidenote: If you need a sponsor for the upload, I might be able to help)


Best regards

David Kalnischkies

¹ I just used `apt-file` to look if they are perhaps in another package,
  I don't know the package nor the embed reason and this bug is not
  about working on removing this copy and/or pointing fingers per se.
