Bug#1019385: swisswatch: add command-line parameter to display arbitrary time

2022-09-08 Thread Axel Stammler
Package: swisswatch
Version: 0.6-18+b1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: a...@users.sourceforge.net

Dear Maintainer,

it might be a good idea to make the frontend (i.e., the clockface and hands) 
available via
the command line so that the usual backend (i.e., the system clock) can be 
replaced by an
alternative time source, e.g. a manual setting like ”--time 11.35.55”
