Dear Debian maintainer,
The ax25-apps Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has
pending bug report(s) which include translation updates or fixes
for po-debconf, namely bug number 533876 (and maybe other similar
bugs).
The i18n team is now hunting the very last bits of missing
localization
and your package went on our radar. You may have uploaded recently
but,
unfortunately for you, you then got *another* l10n bug report.
So, sorry for this, but the radar beeped at your package and here am I
with an NMU intent...:-)
I have the intention, as part of a more general action of the Debian
i18n Task Force to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload
for ax25-apps in order to fix this as well as all pending translations
for the debconf templates.
Of course, an upload made by you would even be better...:-)
Such changes are always harmless, which explains why I safely consider
building NMU's for such issues even though they're obviously non
critical.
The schedule for the NMU (in case it happens, that is if you agree
with it
or if I don't receive any answer in 10 days) is roughly the following:
Saturday, April 17, 2010 : send this notice
Wednesday, April 21, 2010 : post a NMU announcement to debian-
i18n with you
(maintainer) CC'ed
this can happen earlier if the maintainer agrees
In such case, the deadlines below will also
happen earlier
Tuesday, April 27, 2010 : (midnight) deadline for receiving
translation updates
Wednesday, April 28, 2010 : build the package and upload it to
DELAYED/7-day
send the NMU patch to the BTS
Wednesday, May 05, 2010 : NMU reaches incoming
If you intent to upload yourself, please notify me so that I interrupt
the process on my side. Please also don't upload without a discussion
with me. Some translators might send a few new translations and I
can handle
a round of translation updates for you. Really, don't upload
silently...:-)
In case I upload an NMU, I will subscribe to the Package Tracking
System for
ax25-apps and follow its life for 60 days after my NMU in order to fix
any issue potentially introduced by my upload.
Let me know, as soon as possible, if you have any kind of objection
to this
process.
If you'd rather do the fix yourself, I will of course leave the
package
alone. Same if you have reasons not to do the update now.
