How do you generate (German) holiday information?

[croesch]

The data on holidata.net is outdated. Can you update the data or give me a hint how to generate holiday data by myself?

I tried cloning the repo, and following the installation instructions. But it seems like the CPP code doesn't do the generation.

So I tried to run the python code, but it doesn't contain the classes for German holiday data. Can you provide those? Is that the correct way to build data that holidata.net hosts?

I also saw GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior#2173 and question if that's the correct way how to insert holiday information into taskwarrior? Is it? If yes, why wasn't the PR merged and if no, why does the outdated data remain in the doc/rc package?

I'd be glad if you could answer my question and help me save my problem, thx! Btw. I really enjoy using taskwarrior and timew - these tools are awesome.

This seems to be the correct way (as pointed out here) but as you said, the German holiday data is missing.

Another way could be to update the CSV file DE.csv manually by entering the required data.

The german locale has been updated for 2019 and 2020.
The new update process via holidata is still a bit cumbersome and needs documentation.
