As most of you have noticed, Lenny is now frozen. It means that packages will not more enter testing unless explicitely "hinted" for this to happen. One of the accepted release exception are l10n updates. However, we first need package maintainers to *focus* on the missing l10n updates they need to do. I just sent a mail to -release about this and pointed them to http://i18n.debian.net/debian-l10n/l10n-nmu/nmu_bypackage.html Please do *not* add random stuff there by sending more and more and more l10n updates *unless explicitely requested* by a call for translations sent in debian-i18n. Rationale: we don't want maintainers think that "translators keep sending us l10n bug reports, implicitely requesting new uploads"....or release managers to be swamped out by freeze exceptions. It is no longer time for massive l10n updates which will *anyway* miss the Lenny deadline. I know this may interfere with mass actions from some teams (Swedish for instance) but please understand that we want maintainers to work *with* us...:-) On the other hand, please focus on the last calls for translations that will be sent to -i18n. Their deadlines are likely to be much shorter now and there won't be many of such calls (I first need to get back online, for instance). Expect a big bunch during Debconf (Aug 9th to Aug. 17th for me). --
