[BTS#741107] templates://distributed-net/{distributed-net.templates} : Final update for English review



Dear Debian maintainer,

On Wednesday, March 12, 2014, I notified you of the beginning of a review process
concerning debconf templates for distributed-net.

The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates,
and the final proposed changes are attached to this update to the
original bug report.

Please review the suggested changes, and if you have any
objections, let me know in the next 3 days.

However, please try to avoid uploading distributed-net with these changes
right now.

The second phase of this process will begin on Friday, April 04, 2014, when I will
coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates.

The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will
receive an updated PO file for their language.

Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to
the debian-i18n mailing list.

Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as
individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug
reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with.

The call for translation updates and new translations will run until
about Friday, April 25, 2014. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed or changed
debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of
course, other changes are safe.

Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my
own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact
that I simultaneously work on many packages.

Around Saturday, April 26, 2014, I will contact you again and will send a final patch
summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates,
updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations).

Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation.

_Description: Run the distributed.net client configuration utility?
 The distributed.net client needs to be configured before it can be used.
 While most options have reasonable defaults, you need to specify the e-mail
 address to which you would like distributed.net to credit any work done by
 the client. If you are installing the distributed-net package for the first
 time, then you must configure the client, otherwise the distributed.net client
 will refuse to start.
 .
 When the distributed.net client is run as a daemon (via /etc/init.d/distributed-net),
 the output will be redirected to /var/log/distributed-net.log.  You do not
 need to set up a log file. Since the init script is controlling the
 distributed.net client, you should not enable "quiet mode" as that breaks the
 init script.

Description: client to donate unused CPU cycles to distributed.net
 Donate your extra CPU cycles to a worthy cause!
 .
 distributed.net started in 1997 as a project whose purpose was to win a
 series of contests sponsored by RSA Data Security Inc., to crack their RC5
 encryption by brute-force methods. These contests were meant to show
 governments of nations such as the United States, who limit exports or
 use of cryptography, that the standards allowed are too weak for general
 use.
 .
 Since this time, distributed.net's focus has changed from solely
 cracking RSA's RC5 and DES projects to working on more diverse
 distributed computing problems.
 .
 The ongoing projects are RC5-72 and Optimal Golomb Rulers (28-mark), the
 latter of which has practical applications in science. There are also a
 number of other projects which are either periodic or upcoming. You may
 choose which project you wish to participate in.
 .
 Installing this package will allow unused CPU cycles on your computer to
 contribute to cracking the code. There should be no noticeable slowdown of
 your system, since the client runs niced, and only uses CPU time when
 your computer would otherwise be idle.
