Re: working on Debian FAQ for shipping with lenny: new package "debian-faq" (was: Re: doc-debian [...] ready for upload? [...])



Hi Javier,

Do you have time to upload a doc-debian package without the FAQ content
within a couple of weeks?  Or would you rather have me prepare such a
thing?

Is it OK if I add myself to the debian-faq Uploaders, or would you
rather do a FAQ upload yourself?

This package is next to ready for upload; within 10 days for sure.  (I
plan to upload it regardless wether there will be translation updates;
once an update occurs, it's cheap to do another upload.)

Yes, Recommends sounds good.

The new debian-faq sourcepackage, as in SVN now, builds the new binary
packages:

 debian-faq_3.1.6_all.deb
 debian-faq-de_3.1.6_all.deb
 debian-faq-fr_3.1.6_all.deb
 debian-faq-it_3.1.6_all.deb
 debian-faq-zh_3.1.6_all.deb

These hold the translations which were not hopelessly out of date.  If
someone updates another translation, it's easy to convince the source
package to build another binary package.

(I assume the packages

 doc-debian-uk
 doc-debian-es

will keep shipping their FAQ translations for the time being.)

debian-doc-ers: Thanks for all feedback!

Bye,

Joost
