Translations for the debian web site maintained by Jérôme Marant
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.

+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-9910/msg01297.html";>almost</a>

+<b>The dpkg bug list is now smaller and more organized.</b>
+Dpkg has <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/dpkg";>less than 200 bugs</a> now.
+This amazing feat (dpkg used to have 500+ bugs) is the result of lots of

+proposal</a> to <b>make Debian use package pools starting as soon as potato is
+frozen</b>. He intends to call for a vote in two weeks. Package pools have been
+frequently discussed in the past, but no action has ever been taken to
+implement them; perhaps this will start the ball rolling, though it might be
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-project-9910/msg00070.html";>
+difficult</a> to implement everything in time. Anthony Towns posted a
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-project-9910/msg00060.html";>
+counterproposal</a> that has many of the nice features of package pools
+without requiring any major changes to the archive.

-This release is currently considered ``unstable''. That means that

+<p>Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (a.k.a. Potato) was released on 14 August,
+2000.
-<p>
+<p>For information on the major changes in this release, please refer
+to the <a href="#release-notes">Release Notes</a> and to the official
+<a href="$(HOME)/News/2000/20000815">press release</a>.
+
+<p>Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 is dedicated to the memory of Joel "Espy" Klecker, a
+Debian developer, unbeknownst to most of the Debian Project, was bedridden
+and fighting a disease known as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy during most of
+his involvement with Debian. Only now is the Debian Project realizing the
+extent of his dedication, and the friendship he bestowed upon us. So as a
+show of appreciation, and in memory of his inspirational life, this release
+of Debian GNU/Linux is dedicated to him.
+
+<p>Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 is available from the Internet or from CD
+vendors, please see the <a href="$(HOME)/distrib/">Distribution
+page</a> for more information on getting Debian.
-Debian has a strict policy of never announcing release dates;
-therefore, the release date for ``potato'' is not yet known.

+<p>Sometimes, in the case of critical problems or security updates, the

+releases.
+
+<p>Potato has no point releases yet. However, a Debian 2.2r1 is being
+planned with improvements in the installation system and other
+critical updates.
+
+<p>Fixes to the released stable distribution often go through an
+extended testing period before they are accepted into the archive.
+However, these fixes are available in the
+<a href="ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato-proposed-updates/";>
+dists/potato-proposed-updates</a> directory of any Debian archive
+mirror.
+
+<p>The <a href="$(HOME)/security/">security pages</a> should be
+consulted for information about any security issues identified.
+
+<p>If you use <tt>apt</tt> to update your packages, you can install
+the proposed updates by adding the following line to
+<tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>:
+
+<pre>
+ \# security updates
+ deb http://security.debian.org/ potato/updates main contrib non-free
+ \# proposed additions for a 2.2 point release
+ deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/
+</pre>
+
+After that, run <kbd>apt-get update</kbd> followed by <kbd>apt-get

+<h3>Alpha and SPARC CD Issues</h3>
+
+<p>CDs for Alpha and SPARC for 2.2 initially had some problems not
+being bootable. Be sure if you buy CDs that you request those
