Dear Debian maintainer, On Tuesday, May 26, 2015, I notified you of the beginning of a review process concerning debconf templates for neurodebian. The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates, and the final proposed changes are attached to this update to the original bug report. Please review the suggested changes, and if you have any objections, let me know in the next 3 days. However, please try to avoid uploading neurodebian with these changes right now. The second phase of this process will begin on Sunday, June 21, 2015, when I will coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates. The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will receive an updated PO file for their language. Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to the debian-i18n mailing list. Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with. The call for translation updates and new translations will run until about Sunday, July 12, 2015. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed or changed debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of course, other changes are safe. Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact that I simultaneously work on many packages. Around Monday, July 13, 2015, I will contact you again and will send a final patch summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates, updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations). Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation. --
# These templates have been reviewed by the debian-l10n-english
# team
#
# If modifications/additions/rewording are needed, please ask
# debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org for advice.
#
# Even minor modifications require translation updates and such
# changes should be coordinated with translators and reviewers.

_Description: NeuroDebian APT repository installer
Template: neurodebian/enable
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Enable the NeuroDebian package repository?
The NeuroDebian project provides a separate APT repository with
software that is not available in Debian, including datasets and
backported new releases.
.
If you choose this option, these packages will be available for
installation and upgrades.
.
Even though these packages are closely maintained
by the NeuroDebian team, enabling this additional archive
may compromise the integrity of the system.
Template: neurodebian/release
Type: select
__Choices: automatic, ${releases}
Choices-C: auto, ${releases}
Default: auto
_Description: Release name of the base system:
Please specify the appropriate Debian or Ubuntu release codename
(for instance "stretch" or "trusty").
.
If this is set to "automatic"', the release name is chosen according
to the output of "apt-cache policy". If the release name for this
system is not "${release}", you should choose the specific one which
matches best.
Template: neurodebian/mirror
Type: select
Choices: origin, best, custom, ${mirrors}
Default: best
_Description: NeuroDebian mirror to use:
The NeuroDebian project has a number of community-maintained mirrors
around the globe.
.
If you do not know which mirror URL to choose, select one of:
.
* origin: the original NeuroDebian repository;
* best: will try to use netselect to select the "closest" mirror.
This may fail depending on the current mirror setup and the
configuration of the firewall. If netselect is not available, the
default mirror will be used.
Template: neurodebian/flavor
Type: select
Choices: auto, libre, full
Default: auto
_Description: NeuroDebian flavor to use:
The NeuroDebian project adheres to the Debian Free Software Guidelines,
and offers three packages areas, classified by license, for all
suites/releases:
.
libre
DFSG-compliant material only
full
all three areas (main, contrib, non-free)
auto
picked from the output of "apt-cache policy"
(for this machine: "${flavor}").
Template: neurodebian/components
Type: multiselect
Choices: software, data, devel
Default: software, data
_Description: NeuroDebian repository components to enable:
NeuroDebian repository provides three different sets of packages:
.
software
Packages containing software, often backports of stable software
releases for previous Debian/Ubuntu releases;
devel
Additional "bleeding edge" software packages (like those in Debian
experimental), which it may not be safe to enable by default.
data
Packages containing data (such as atlases or sample datasets), often
required by other packages. This should usually be enabled.
Template: neurodebian/overwrite
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Overwrite the existing NeuroDebian APT file?
If an APT sources.list file already exists for NeuroDebian, this
package will fail to configure unless given permission to overwrite it.
Template: neurodebian/suffix
Type: string
Default:
_Description: Additional suffix for the NeuroDebian APT file name:
Adding a suffix makes it possible to enable an additional repository
(such as NeuroDebian devel) or release, without interfering with the
main NeuroDebian sources list.
.
It should usually be left empty.
Template: neurodebian/run-update-note
Type: note
_Description: APT update required
For the installation (or removal) of a NeuroDebian sources.list file
to take effect, APT's packages list needs to be updated. Please
manually run "apt-get update" after the neurodebian package has been
installed or reconfigured.
Template: neurodebian/netselect-not-found
Type: error
_Description: Missing netselect tool
The "netselect" utility was not found. You probably need to
install the netselect package.
.
Alternatively, you can manually select the mirror to use.
Template: neurodebian/netselect-cannot-be-used
Type: error
_Description: Missing netselect tool
The "netselect" utility was not found. You probably need to
install the netselect package.
.
Unless this package is installed, the NeuroDebian mirror to use has
to be chosen manually. To be prompted with the relevant question, you
can run "dpg-reconfigure -plow neurodebian".

Description: neuroscience-oriented distribution - popcon integration
The NeuroDebian project integrates and maintains a variety of software
projects within Debian that are useful for neuroscience (such as AFNI,
FSL, PsychoPy, etc.) or generic computation (such as HTCondor,
pandas, etc.).
.
This package is a complement to the generic popularity-contest
package to enable anonymous submission of usage statistics to
NeuroDebian in addition to the popcon submissions to the underlying
distribution (either Debian or Ubuntu) popcon server.
.
Participating in popcon is important for the following reasons:
* Popular packages receive more attention from developers; bugs are
fixed faster and updates are provided quicker.
* It ensures that support is not dropped for a previous release of
Debian or Ubuntu while there are active users.
* User statistics may be useful for upstream research software
developers seeking funding for continued development.
.
This requires that popcon is activated for the underlying distribution
(Debian or Ubuntu), which can be achieved by running
"dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest" as root.
