Translations for the debian web site unmaintained
Hello,
This is a automatically generated mail sent to you
because you are the official translator of some pages
in french of the Debian web site.
I send you the diff between the version you translated and
the current version to allow you to update your work.
For more informations, contact your team coordinator, or
the Debian web-masters (debian-www@lists.debian.org).
Thanks, and sorry for the annoyance.

+Last week Debian Weekly News dropped the ball when we didn't mention a

+is a Qt program. Since it was linked to the GPLed libapt, there was a

+call rather than dynamic linking is an irrelevant technical detail.</i>" Ian
+isn't about to change dpkg's license, and he is presumably talking with Corel
+about this in private. Meanwhile, this spawned a long, murky thread on
+debian-legal, since the law is very unclear on this and many people,

+<b>Beware Debian's vast corporate might.</b> This
+<a href="http://www.macdiscussion.com/article_show.php3?article_id_var=190";>
+article</a> talks about how ports of major distributions to the PowerPC may
+affect existing distributions there: "<i>Linux PPC and Yellow Dog Linux are
+relatively new upstart companies when it comes to the Linux world, and they
+just do not have the corporate power and user base that both Debian and SuSE
+boast.</i> Despite that small gaffe, it does raise some interesting questions.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<b>Does the policy process need to be reformed?</b> It certainly can have
+problems, as in the case of the /usr/share/doc issue last year, when things
+are added to policy without enough forethought. Ian Jackson believes that
+the policy process needs to be
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy-0003/msg00151.html";>changed
+back</a> to something like what it was 2 years ago, with a few people having
+absolute control over policy. Others
+<a href="mail#1">disagree</a>, and think that while adding a
+chairman to the process may be a good idea, the process should remain in the
+hands of the people on the debian-policy mailing list. This will be discussed
+further <a href="mail#2">on IRC</a> on the 29th.

+
+<p>
+<b>A thread about default colors of programs</b> like mutt, ls, and so on has
+raised some interesting issues. Anyone who is not a "<i>bug-eyed alien</i>"
+with <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0003/msg01096.html";>
+ultraviolet vision</a> has probably struggled to read dark blue text on a
+black background, or bright yellow text on a white background, before giving
+up and changing a program's colors to something more usable. Two things are
+keeping Debian from changing the colors by default: First, there's a lot of
+variation in
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0003/msg01243.html";>personal
+preferences and setups</a>; some use a black background, and some a white.
+It's difficult to come up with default colors that work well on both
+backgrounds. Second, large changes from upstream defaults are likely to annoy
+just as many people as they please. So while we can fix extremely bad default
+color choices, the rest will still have to be up to the individual user.

+For a <a href="../../1999/24/#signdebs">long time</a> everyone has been aware
+of a <b>basic security problem in Debian</b>: packages can be changed on
+Debian mirrors and users have no way to verify that the package they download
+is the same package a developer uploaded. Two ideas have come up again and
+again as ways to make this more secure. The first idea is to allow for
+signatures inside the .deb files themselves, which lets one verify that a
+given developer built a package. The second is to allow for signed Packages.gz
+files, which lets one verify that the package went through the normal
+upload process. Neither of these signatures will provide perfect security.
+There are many holes left; for example, a developer's computer may be
+cracked and if they do not manage their keys wisely, their key may be
+compromised. In the past, in typical Debian fashion, we have held off doing
+anything since there was no known perfect solution.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This issue has
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0003/msg01283.html";>
+resurfaced</a> this week, and there is a growing inclination to implement
+both types of signatures, though both are imperfect, to allow the
+security bar to at least be raised a bit higher. After some
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0004/msg00013.html";>long
+discussions</a> on the
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0004/msg00188.html";>mailing
+lists</a> and on
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0004/msg00245.html";>irc</a>,
+more and more <b>people are reaching consensus on this</b>. Now, who will
+implement it?
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<b>5 new mailing lists</b> have been
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0003/msg01812.html";>
+created</a>, for purposes ranging from porting to the PA-RISC and S/390 to
+Dutch internationalisation.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<b>Direct access</a> to the Incoming directory</b> is now available at
+<a href="http://incoming.debian.org/";>http://incoming.debian.org/</a>. The
+old Incoming mirror network is being
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-project-0004/msg00000.html";>shut
+down</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The IBM Global Services "Linux Support Line" in conjunction with Alcôve
+will now offer <b>phone support for Debian in several countries</b>.
+Interestingly, their <a href="http://linuxpr.com/releases/1596.html";>press
+release</a> claims that Debian is <i>the current market leader (27%)</i>.
