Hello
I work on some task from the TODO list (see my mail
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg00189.html)
please read it, test the translations from the DDTP and write comments
to grisu@debian.org and debian-devel@lists.debian.org
> TODO
> ----
>
> - make a list sort by source package maintainer email address
look at the pages with a URL like this
http://ddtp.debian.org/debconf/maintainer/benj@debian.org.html
(by package maintainer) or like this
http://ddtp.debian.org/debconf/source/apt-build.html
(by source package)
some notes about the lines at this pages:
look at this line as example:
+ * apt-build/templates-de.po 0/10/10 17/17 translated
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
1 = if you see a '+' the ddtp know more translation in comparison
with the last binary package in sid.
2 = If you see a '*' all templates af this binary package are
translated.
If you see a combination of '+' and '*' the package maintainer
should upload a new package with this translations.
3 = a like to download a debconf po file with all translations
4 = found translated templates in the sid package
5 = translated templates in the ddtp database
6 = templates in the package
7 = translated po msgid's in the po file
8 = number of the msgid's in the po file
> - some nice (and fast) download-links (po files)
see '2' above
> - Fill bug reports after some time via a 'human operator' if the
> maintainer don't catch the translations
you can find a list of maintainers sort by the number of finished
translations with new translations from the ddtp on this page:
http://ddtp.debian.org/debconf/maintainer/ALL_finished.txt
I hope we can scale down this list in future.
> - document this all, make guides and howtos for the package
> maintainers
This task is still open.
But joeyh has write a little script, that download the translation
from the ddtp and include new translations in the package source.
Please check his mail:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2003/debian-i18n-200303/msg00014.html
Please: if you are the maintainer of packages with debconf templates
and if you use debconf po files, test joeyh script
If you have any problems mail this. Maybe we can include the
script in some normal debian package.
Know someone a 'Howto move from old debconf templates to the debconf
po format' guide?
btw: The server make the old templates files to. If the URL for the
debconf po file like this:
http://ddtp.debian.org/debconf/template_unstable/mzscheme/templates-de.po
you can find the old format at
http://ddtp.debian.org/debconf/template_unstable/mzscheme/templates-de
(only remove the '.po' at the end of the link)
You can download this file and use debconf-mergetemplate in the
normal way.
> - the ddts must support 'uploads befor package release'
I am working on this task.
Gruss
