French Republican Calendar

Here are known applications which support the French Republican calendar:

Perl DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary

On Gentoo, install the perl dependencies:

emerge --ask dev-perl/Params-Validate
emerge --ask dev-perl/DateTime

Or install the perl modules manually:

# cpan
cpan[4]> install "Params::Validate"

# cpan  /frenchrevolutionary/

Then you can print the current date:

perl -MDateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary -le 'print DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary->now->strftime("%c")'

Or using a Unix timestamp:

$ date +%s
1455184597
$ perl -MDateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary -le 'print DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary->from_epoch(epoch => 1455184597)->strftime("%c")'
Tri 23 Plu 0224 4:14:32
$ t=`date +%s` ; perl -MDateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary -le "print DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary->from_epoch(epoch => $t)->strftime('%c')"
Tri 23 Plu 0224 4:20:89

gcal

gcal support for the French Republican calendar is sketchy at best.

Apparently, the only supported option is to show a list of upcoming holidays and beginning of months:

$ gcal --holiday-list=long --french-revolutionary-months
