Re: Intent to NMU openacs to fix pending po-debconf l10n bugs
Hi Christian,
I was in the middle of a package upload process, including a security
fix (discovered on friday) and the pending translations, when i received
your mail.
The packages (both openacs and dotlrn) have been updated on unstable
this morning, and are bug free now, so NMUs won't be necessary :)
Cheers, Héctor
