Updating calendar.judaic

I recently posted about accessing the calendars in your /usr/share/calendar directory. Jewish readers may have noted that the default calendar.judaic file is sadly out of date. The Jewish year does not line up exactly with the standard Christian calendar.

Josef Grosch maintains an up-to-date version of calendar.judaic that you can download at his ftp site. Download a copy, uncompress it (we recommend using the Unarchiver) and replace the standard 2002 version with the latest 2007 (11 Tevet 5767 - 22 Tevet 5768) release to bring your calendar file up to date. April 16 2007 will go from being the 19th day of the Omer (using the 2002 dates) to the 13th (with the 2007 dates).
