(Fwd) Important: take a break from translating



Et encore un exemplaire de la serie "traduction hative de ce qui se 
passe sur debian-www"

C'est de jay, l'un des deux webmaster de debian, c'est destine aux 
traducteurs, alors je traduis pas trop... Logique, non?

En resume : IL FAUT ARRETER IMMEDIATEMENT TOUTE 
TRADUCTION POUR UN JOUR OU DEUX (pour cause de 
modification en cours des Makefiles).

Either people didn't read the last few posts I made about 
translations or
I didn't state things explicitly enough.

YOU SHOULD HOLD OFF ON TRANSLATING FROM THE 
ENGLISH PAGES FOR ANOTHER DAY
OR TWO.

There are many changes being made to the english directory. The 
content hasn't changed very much, but the Makefiles have been 
completely redone and more has been moved into the template 
files. If you update while we are still making changes you will 
simply be creating work for yourself.

The changes should make it much less likely that translators will 
make changes that will introduce bugs that cause the Makefiles to 
fail. Also, by moving more of the wml specifics out of the .wml files, 
translators will have fewer decisions to make. In particular, the
#!wml .... 
line at the start of files is no longer needed as the Makefiles 
explicitly state the output file when they call wml. If you remove the 
line before updating
the Makefiles, all wml output will go to stdout (the spanish pages 
have this problem currently with some files).

If you were having any problems before, make them known now so 
they can be fixed now. Update your version of the english pages 
and you can see what has been done.
