It says from where statistics are collected (if I understand correctly).
It gets newt from unstable distribution and other packages from CVS or
SVN (not sure about shadow).

Ah, thankyou. I couldn't see those places, so I didn't understand what was there.

From unstable:
newt (0.51.6-29) unstable; urgency=low
shadow (1:4.0.3-40) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

From CVS/SVN:
shadow/debian
base-config
tasksel
iso-codes
console-data
exim4
_________

and I take this to mean: these files need updating. I couldn't update
them before, because they weren't the stable branch (?). I don't
really know.

No, you can update those files. See http://www.nl.debian.org/releases/
for meaning of "unstable".

Thankyou.

Anyway, I looked on this page of SVN/CVS checkout commands (very
useful, thanks to the people who put the time and effort in for this):

http://people.debian.org/~seppy/d-i/checkouts.html

and newt, shadow, and shadow/debian, at least, are not listed. How do
we get and update those files?

There is no SVN/CVS repository for newt. Do not know about shadow.

So how do we update the unstable or development files? Or is there only one version of those files?

I had already checked out the tasksel dir, to update tasksel/tasks,
but when I opened the tasksel po file, it did not need updating. Am I
looking in the wrong place?

Hmm...
tasksel/tasks/po$ LANG=C msgfmt -o /dev/null --check --statistics vi.po
131 translated messages, 1 fuzzy translation.

Did you look for wrong file?

Sorry, I didn't explain properly. I'd checked out the whole tasksel directory, because I needed to update tasksel/tasks. I've checked it in, so I hope your msgfmt result isn't talking about it: it was clear before I checked it in.

On that status page, it said that tasksel itself, not tasksel/tasks, also needed updating, but when I opened that file, also checked out in the tasksel dir., it didn't need updating. That's why I was confused. Most likely I'm not interpreting the status page properly. I've always wanted to be able to update the files listed in that type of page, but didn't know where to get them. Now I can get files by SVN or CVS, I thought I could get them, but maybe not... :S

I know iso-codes is up-to-date, because I updated it recently.

Yes, and http://people.debian.org/~seppy/d-i/level2/vi.txt says so.

But the status page I quoted above lists iso-codes. is it just saying where it finds the files, not which files need updating?
