Quoting Wouter Verhelst (wouter@debian.org): > Hi, > > I'd been planning to do a partman-nbd for quite a while (hence the Comments about debconf templates: First, all of them should include a line with: # :sl4: Before the "_Description" line. That will put these templates in sublevel 4 which is, imho, the place they belong to (maybe "sublevel 3" once the feature is no longer experimental). Template: partman-nbd/text/configure_nbd Type: text _Description: Configure the Network Block Device Later, you talk about "a" Network Block Device, so for consistency, I'd suggest using an indefinite article there as well. A tricky question is about using capitals or "network block device". I'd go for the latter but I understand that capitals made things closer from "NBD". If a choice is made, it should be consistent all along the templates, of course. Again, I have a small preference for normal writing and no capitals. Maybe, at some key points, use "NBD" in parenthesis to introduce the acronym. Template: partman-nbd/mainmenu Type: select Choices-C: connect, disconnect, finish Choices: ${CHOICES} That means that "connect", "disconnect" and "finish" will never get translated. That's infortunate.... _Description: NBD configuration action: There are currently ${NBD_DEVICES} connected. What is suposed to go in the variable? Template: partman-nbd/server Type: string _Description: Network Block Device server: Please enter the name or the IP address of the system running nbd-server. s/name/host name, maybe Template: partman-nbd/port Type: string _Description: Network Block Device port: Please enter the port on which the nbd-server is running. Maybe "Please enter the port nbd-server is listening to on ${SERVER}." Template: partman-nbd/device Type: select Choices: ${CHOICES} _Description: Network Block Device device node: Please select the NBD device node that you wish to connect or disconnect. Template: partman-nbd/error/noserver Type: error _Description: Could not connect. Connecting to the nbd-server failed. Please ensure that the host and the port which you entered are correct, that the nbd-server process is running on the host and the port you indicated, and that your network is configured correctly, and try again. The short description should not end with a dot and preferrably not be a sentence. Proposal: _Description: Failed to connect to the NBD server Connecting to the nbd-server failed. Please ensure that the host and the port which you entered are correct, that the nbd-server process is running on that host, that the network is configured correctly, and retry. Template: partman-nbd/error/nodev Type: error _Description: No more Network Block Device nodes left There are no Network Block Device nodes left. This is either because you've used them all, or because something went wrong with the detection of the device nodes. Either way, you cannot currently configure any more network block devices before you first disconnect one. That one could be shortened, probably _Description: No more Network Block Device nodes left Either all available network block devices are in use or something went wrong with the detection of the device nodes. . No more network block devices can be configured until a configured one is disconnected. Template: partman-nbd/error/noconnected Type: error _Description: No Network Block Device nodes are connected There are currently no Network Block Device nodes connected to any server. As such, you can't disconnect any of them. To avoid a sentence as title, I suggest: _Description: No connected Network Block Device nodes No Network Block Devices are currently connected and therefore none can be disconnected. (that one, I'm not entirely sure of) Template: partman-nbd/menu/connect Type: text # Menu entry # Use infinite form _Description: Connect a Network Block Device Template: partman-nbd/menu/disconnect Type: text # Menu entry # Use infinite form _Description: Disconnect a Network Block Device Template: partman-nbd/finish Type: text # Menu entry # Use infinite form _Description: Finish and return to the partitioner
