The watchdog package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is the perfect moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: watchdog/run Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Start watchdog at boot time? Please specify whether watchdog should be started as part of the boot process. This can be changed later by editing /etc/default/watchdog. Template: watchdog/restart Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Restart watchdog on upgrades? If your kernel is configured with the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option, restarting watchdog will cause a spurious reboot (the kernel will think the watchdog daemon crashed). Template: watchdog/module Type: string Default: none _Description: Load watchdog module? Do you want the watchdog init script to preload a module for your watchdog driver before starting watchdog? The module "softdog" should work on all installations. If you don't want the script to load a module use "none".
