No, updates to translations will update the existing TDeb, creating +t2.diff.gz and +t3.diff.gz etc. All supported languages go into the existing TDeb, organised by locale root. Unless a package needs more than one TDeb for the debconf+large_docs corner case, each source package should only expect to have one TDeb for all binary packages and all locales. Translation teams can work together to make uploads in a coordinated manner - similar to the current method of requesting deadlines for i18n bugs, a nominated person can collate the various translations prior to a deadline chosen by the teams themselves, according to the needs of that particular package. Updated TDebs use the +t1, +t2 version suffix etc. http://people.debian.org/~codehelp/tdeb/ch2.html > It seems to me fetching multiple .tdeb for perhaps every .deb to update > has the potential to slow down an update by a huge factor, not only in > size of the tdeb index but for the amount of roundtrips.

The real question is how to get apt to understand getting the +t1.diff.gz when asked for apt-get source and for dpkg to expect to unpack +t1.diff.gz etc. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
