The Musings of Chris Samuel

Introduction

This is the port of the 386bsd vacation program to Linux. Vacation is the automatic mail answering program found on many Unix systems. Currently it is just a source based release meaning you will need to download and compile it yourself. Its only external dependency at present is GDBM which your Linux distribution should provide (you may need to install the development package for it).

The maintainers for Vacation are Chris Samuel and Brian May.
