Hi lamby!

A great addition to installation-birthday would be to notify the logged in user
via notify-send about the event. Newer desktop installations usually come
without a configured MTA, and sometimes even without cron.

Oh, a good idea. I don't have an MTA anymore, so now even I, the

Not sure how it might work without cron — a question perhaps for
another bug entirely. But assuming that cron is at least installed,
would you think a notify-send notification with no expiry * would work?

That would at least mean that if it triggered at 3am or something
unholy, you might have a chance of seeing it in the morning.

 * Or perhaps an expiry of 24 hours.
