Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the vidalia source package. This review will last from Friday, April 16, 2010 to Monday, April 26, 2010. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

Still, I was slightly annoyed by the use of interrogative form with a Select template so I tried to find another way....Not perfect IMHO, though. @@ -13,8 +13,16 @@ Recommends: tor Suggests: iceweasel-torbutton Description: controller GUI for the Tor software - Vidalia allows you to start and stop Tor, view the status of Tor at a glance, - and monitor Tor's bandwidth usage.

I splitted the paragraph in two and tried to slightly "unpersonnalize" things by dropping some of the "you"s. Here again, this is a broder case as Tor being about privacy protection, it is more or less by definition protecting a "you". Anyway, one can also argue that the Tor server running on my home server is indeed proctecting my entire family's privacy. I also added a paragraph about "what is Tor". It is taken from the project's web site with minor modifications. Feel free to amend this..:) And now I should go and setup my own Tor server... --

Description: controller GUI for the Tor software
Vidalia offers a graphical user interface to start and stop Tor, view
its status at a glance, and monitor its bandwidth usage.
.
Vidalia also makes it easy to contribute to
the Tor network by helping you setup a Tor server.
.
Tor protects privacy communications around a distributed
network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents
somebody watching Internet connections from learning what sites
are visited, and it prevents the visited sites from learning your
physical location. Tor works with many of existing applications,
including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and
other applications based on the TCP protocol.
