Dear Debian maintainer, On Saturday, August 08, 2015, I notified you of the beginning of a review process concerning debconf templates for publicfile-installer. 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 publicfile-installer with these changes right now. The second phase of this process will begin on Saturday, September 05, 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 Saturday, September 26, 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 Sunday, September 27, 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. --

Description: installer package for the publicfile HTTP and FTP server
Publicfile is an HTTP and FTP server, written by Daniel J. Bernstein in
1999; it hasn't changed much since. Modern features are not supported.
However, if you're looking for a small, simple, and secure webserver,
which integrates with the runit and daemontools UNIX service managers,
publicfile will suit your needs.
.
While most of Bernstein's software is now public domain, publicfile
still lacks a license that would make it distributable in Debian.
This package provides a mechanism for downloading the publicfile
sourcecode from the upstream website, combining it with packaging
information from the package maintainer's website, then building and
installing a publicfile Debian package. The mechanism may be run
during the installation of this package or postponed and run manually.
