Please find, for review, the debconf templates for the screen source package. (I didn't work on package descriptions as, being close the the freeze and release, I prefer focusing on immediately i18n'ed material) This review will last from Wednesday, June 13, 2012 to Saturday, June 23, 2012. 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. Rationale: Before going into details, I'd like to mention that templates seem a bit lengthy to me (they certainly don't fit on a 80x25 screen and need to be scrolled down which is not always obvious with debconf). Shortening them would be nice, but I didn't find any good idea for that..:-) --- screen.old/debian/templates 2012-06-13 07:47:30.361159077 +0200 +++ screen/debian/templates 2012-06-13 19:04:59.619623352 +0200 @@ -1,10 +1,10 @@ Template: screen/410-upgrade Type: error -_Description: Previous screen binary has been copied to /tmp/screen-4.0.3 +_Description: Warning: upgrading screen with an active session OK, this is a little bit against my common habits but I think that using "Warning: blah" here is a good idea.

Description: terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
screen is a terminal multiplexor that runs several separate "screens" on a
single physical character-based terminal. Each virtual terminal emulates a
DEC VT100 plus several ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022 functions. Screen sessions
can be detached and resumed later on a different terminal.
.
Screen also supports a whole slew of other features. Some of these are:
configurable input and output translation, serial port support, configurable
logging, multi-user support, and utf8 charset support.
