[Debian-hebrew-package] hdate for ubuntu unity

[kobi zamir]

hello dovev

thank you for your mail,

I did not try unity :-( and do not know what it can and can't do ...

the script linked below is a notification icon for hdate applet:
http://hdateapplet.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hdateapplet/trunk/hdate-applet/scripts/hdate_systray.py?revision=39&view=markup

it requiers python-libhdate to work.
it is part of the hdate-applet code and will be installed by default,
if you install from source code.

the debian package does not pack this notification icon script.

maybe you can ask the debian hebrew packagers to create a package for
this script.

p.s.
i have tried this script with gnome-shell, and in gnome shell the
notification area is hidden on the bottom of the screen and not a good
place to show the date.
in gnome-shell we will need a gnome-shell panel applet. in kde4 the
notification icon looks ok.
