Installation birthday

Fancy receiving congratulations on the anniversary of when you installed your system?

Installing the installation-birthday package on your Debian machines will celebrate each birthday of your system by automatically sending a message to the local system administrator.

The installation date is based on the system installation time, not the package itself.

installation-birthday is available in Debian 9 ("stretch") via the stretch-backports repository, as well as in the testing and unstable distributions:

$ apt install installation-birthday

Enjoy, and patches welcome. :)
