No. There will be no further upload of emdebian-grip for Wheezy. I will do a backport once the release is made. The backport will involve massive changes to the package. Most users of the package actually pull in the package from unstable, backports or directly from SVN. The fact that no upload was made means that the work is still ongoing and is now too late for Wheezy. I now have other priorities. > Since the package is now unlikely to change in the upcoming stable > release, we (a collective “we”, including the people doing the > translation work, and the non-native English users for who we are all > actually working) would now aim for complete translated documentation. Wrong. The package is likely to need substantial changes via a backport. Too many changes to get a freeze exception. There is no point working on the translations - all changes after this point *will* be thrown away.

There are no plans for uploads of any of those. I'm concentrating on release-critical issues. NMU's are hereby explicitly declined. This isn't about debconf translations which are expected to be NMU'd. There is a chance that these packages will drop translation support entirely after Wheezy. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
