If you want to have a daily reminder, use this code into a script, and add it your cronjobs:
# days remaining for release:
days_release_remaining="$( lynx -dump "https://release.debian.org" | grep -i "debian 12 .*release.*planned for" | sed -e 's|^.*planned for ||g' -e 's|\.$||g' )"
if [[ -n "$days_release_remaining" ]] ; then
days_left="$( echo "( $( date -d "$days_release_remaining" +"%s") - $( date -d "$(date +%F)" +"%s" ) ) / 86400" | bc -l | sed -e 's|\..*$||g' )"
el_notify normal logo-elive "Debian release" "$days_left days left for the Debian Bookworm release."
fi
cronjob example:
# remind debian 12 bookworm release announced
1 11 * * * elive-cron-gui-run /home/thana/bin/check-debian-release.sh
