MLDonkey: proof reading my english template
Hello,
I am the debian maintainer of mldonkey. One of my user has suggested
that i should send my debconf templates to you, in order to have a
better english style.
My english is pretty poor, and this user (German) has already corrected
some mistakes.
Could anyone read my template and confirm that it is enough
good for a release ?
Thanks in advance
Regard
Sylvain Le Gall
ps: please CC me, i am not subscribed to the list.
Template: mldonkey-server/config_exist_no_options
Type: note
_Description: Warning
A configuration for MLDonkey has been detected, but
the mldonkey_options executable cannot be found. Therefore,
the settings from the current MLDonkey configuration cannot
be fetched.
.
This is a typical error, if you have uninstalled the mldonkey-server
package and later reinstall it.
.
Ignore this message in case you think there is nothing to be
saved from your current configuration.
.
Your configuration will be saved to downloads.ini.dpkg.
Template: mldonkey-server/config_exist_no_dir
Type: note
_Description: Warning
A former installation of mldonkey-server has been detected, but
we cannot find the directory coming with it.
.
The installation will create a fresh directory with new .ini
configuration files.
.
Afterwards you can copy your old .ini configuration files to this new
directory and re-run "dpkg-reconfigure mldonkey-server" to update
the remaining debconf values stored in /etc/default/mldonkey-server.
Template: mldonkey-server/fasttrack_problem
Type: note
_Description: Bug #200500
Previous versions of mldonkey-server suffer from a serious DFSG policy
violation.
.
The plugin for the fasttrack protocol (e.g. used by kazaa) of
mldonkey-server was made with illegal coding practice. This version
fixes the problem by removing this plugin from the MLDonkey package.
Any fasttrack sources will be filtered out of your files.ini.
.
Your entire fasttrack upload will disappear with the next restart of the
mldonkey server.
.
See /usr/share/doc/mldonkey-server/README.Debian for more information.
Template: mldonkey-server/launch_at_startup
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Launch at startup?
Do you want to launch MLDonkey as a system service?
.
If you choose yes, each time your machine starts, the MLDonkey server will be
started.
.
If you choose no, you will need to launch MLDonkey yourself each time you want to
use it.
Template: mldonkey-server/run_as_user
Type: string
Default: mldonkey
_Description: MLDonkey user:
Define the user who will run the MLDonkey server process.
.
Please do not choose a real user. For security reasons it is
better if this user does not own any other data than the
MLDonkey share.
.
You will use this user account to share and get data from the
peer-to-peer networks.
.
This user will be a system user (if created). You won't be able
to login into your system with this user name.
Template: mldonkey-server/mldonkey_group
Type: string
Default: mldonkey
_Description: MLDonkey group:
Define the group which will run the MLDonkey server process.
.
Please do not choose a real group. For security reasons it is
better if this group does not own any other data than the MLDonkey share.
.
Users of this group can start and stop the MLDonkey server and
can also access the files fetched from the peer-to-peer networks.
Template: mldonkey-server/reown_file
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Move old files?
You have changed the MLDonkey user. You can change the ownership of
your files to the new user.
.
Proceed changes?
.
PS: the former user won't be deleted from /etc/passwd, you will
have to do it yourself later (e.g. with deluser(8)), or you keep it
along with the old configuration.
Template: mldonkey-server/mldonkey_dir
Type: string
Default: /var/lib/mldonkey
_Description: MLDonkey directory:
Define the directory to which the MLDonkey server will be chdired and chrooted.
.
The .ini configuration files, incoming and shared directories will be in this directory.
.
Chroot support is not complete. For now, chroot is not possible, but it
may be enabled in the near future.
Template: mldonkey-server/mldonkey_move
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Move the old configuration?
You have changed the mldonkey directory. You can move the old files
to this new directory.
.
If you choose no, the old directory won't be deleted. You will have to
do it yourself.
.
Proceed changes?
Template: mldonkey-server/mldonkey_umask
Type: string
Default: 0022
_Description: Umask of MLDonkey:
Since MLDonkey will run as a system user, it is not easy to move/delete
files from the incoming dir. By setting a umask, you can provide access to these
files for MLDonkey's group or all users.
.
Examples: 0002 will give rw access to MLDonkey's group, 0000 will give
access to all users.
Template: mldonkey-server/mldonkey_niceness
Type: string
_Description: Niceness of MLDonkey:
MLDonkey uses heavy calculation from time to time (like hashing very big
files). It should be a good idea to set a very kind level of niceness,
depending on what ressources you want to give to MLDonkey.
.
You can set values from -20 to 20. The bigger the niceness, the lower the priority
of MLDonkey processes.
Template: mldonkey-server/shared_directories
Type: string
Default: share
_Description: Shared directories:
List of directories you want to share. By default, the incoming directory will
always be shared.
.
The syntax of this list is a list of strings separated by ";". For example:
share ; mp3
.
Since MLDonkey will be chrooted, you need to specify shared dirs with
regards to the new root directory of MLDonkey (e.g. if you want to share
/var/lib/mldonkey/share and MLDonkey user's home is /var/lib/mldonkey,
you need to write "share" or "/share").
.
Chroot support is not complete. For now, chroot is not possible, but it may be enabled
in the near future.
Template: mldonkey-server/client_name
Type: string
_Description: MLDonkey client name:
The name of your server. This is the name that will be presented to other
users of the peer-to-peer networks.
.
You could use the name of your website. Example: http://me.my.home/
.
Don't use " or any other special characters.
Template: mldonkey-server/plugin
Type: multiselect
Choices: Directconnect, Opennap, Overnet, Soulseek, Bittorent, Gnutella
Default: Directconnect, Opennap, Overnet, Soulseek, Bittorent, Gnutella
Description: MLDonkey Plugins:
MLDonkey can use several different filesharing networks. Choose the networks
you want to use with your server.
.
The EDonkey network is always enabled. Take a look at the different port settings,
you will need to make, if you use a firewall.
Template: mldonkey-server/max_hard_download_rate
Type: string
Default: 0
_Description: Maximal download speed (kB/s):
Set the maximal download rate. It can be useful to limit this rate, in
order to always have a minimal bandwidth for other internet applications.
.
It has also been noticed that a full use of the bandwidth could cause
problems with DSL connection handling. This is not a rule, it is just
based on a few experiments.
.
0 means no limit.
Template: mldonkey-server/max_hard_upload_rate
Type: string
Default: 0
_Description: Maximal upload speed (kB/s):
Set the maximal upload rate. You must keep in mind that a peer-to-peer
network is based on sharing. Do not use a very low rate.
.
Some networks calculate the download credit by the upload rate. More
upload speed means more download speed.
.
As for the download speed, you should limit this rate so that you
can still use the internet even when MLDonkey is running.
.
0 means no limit.
Template: mldonkey-server/max_alive
Type: string
Default: 48
_Description: Maximal time to live for the server:
MLDonkey needs to be restarted from time to time. This is safer for memory
consumption and all. You need to set the time between automatic restarts
(in hours).
.
The only problem with this is that you will loose some upload credits. You
can set this variable to a very high value in order to be sure to have a
sufficient time to gather a lot of credits.
.
For example: 24 for one day, 168 for one week.
Template: mldonkey-server/password
Type: password
_Description: Password of admin user:
As of version 2.04rc1, a new user management appears. The password is
encrypted and stored in downloads.ini.
.
If you want to add a new user for MLDonkeys user management or
want to change the password, refer to /usr/share/doc/mldonkey-server/README.Debian.
Template: mldonkey-server/repassword
Type: password
_Description: Retype password of the admin user:
Please confirm your admin's password.
Template: mldonkey-server/false_password
Type: note
_Description: Passwords do not match
The two password you enter must be the same.
.
You will be asked until you can provide the same password twice.
