Looking for the Fedora 'calendar' package in CentOS

I use the calendar package in Debian and found the same in Fedora but not in CentOS. Is there an equivalent package (SAME functionality, but by another name/package)?

Note I’m not looking for a calendar; I call the calendar command from within a Python3 application I’ve written, so I’m looking for that (or very close to that).

CentOS has a limited set of packages. Fedora packages that are not included in that set can be added to the EPEL repository for use on CentOS.

Remind

is a powerful, terminal-based calendar and alarm utility for CentOS (x86_64) that supports complex, scriptable reminders, including repeating events, reminders, and advanced date logic. It is installed via sudo yum install remind and can be paired with Wyrd (ncurses frontend) or wxRemind (GUI) for better visualization.

Key Features and Usage of remind

  • Installation: sudo yum install remind (often found in Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux - EPEL).

@ledeni Thanks for the heads up; not quite what I was after. Might look at making a formal request (as above) to have the calendar package (whatever it is) brought in from Fedora repositories.
