Quoting Gerfried Fuchs (rhonda@deb.at):Though: Clytie's point is still there: Are the translations lost in between, is there so many changes that it makes the translation drop completely? From looking at the changelog of mysql 5.0 it is in fact based on the mysql 4.1 packages which were based on the mysql 4.0 packages ...Something that I already mentioned to maintainers each time they were breaking templates for these packages (which happened a *lot*)... But, indeed, that part of the work can only be done by maintainers. We, translators, have few possible actions (except using a compendium on our side, of course).
I usually don't run a compendium over shorter files, but I probably should, in these cases where the files are evidently based on previous files with a similar name. (Then again, how would I know that? :S)
Mostly, debconf templates are brief, and some are updated so infrequently, they really need a complete review each time, since technical vocabulary is always developing.
