Salut, La deuxième DPN de l'année, dont la publication est prévue lundi, est à peu près finalisée en anglais, presque tout est à traduire : 1 -> Debian 6.0 <q>Squeeze</q> to be released this weekend 2 -> Join the DebConf team 3 -> Bits from the Security Team 4 -> Debunking Myths About Debian's Firmware (non-)Removal 7 -> Cross-distro Application Installer 8 -> On the maintainability of Ruby 12 -> Les brèves 16 -> Les nouveaux paquets Je vais me charger des trucs faciles (les annonces spécifiques sont déjà traduites ;-) : 5, 6 et 10, mais apprécierait sincèrement un coup de main sur tout ou partie du reste. Alors n'hésitez pas à signaler sur la liste dès maintenant votre intention de traduire un ou plusieurs des articles (pour éviter que quelqu'un d'autre ne travaille en même temps dessus), et le renvoyer à la liste pour que être intégré au fichier global. Je ferai un bilan ce soir tard au plus tard, si possible via un [RFR]. L'objectif étant de finir la traduction au plus tôt et de se donner le temps de la relire ce week-end avant la publication lundi (et les dernières remarques avant mercredi, date d'envoi du message). Amicalement David

<h2>Debian 6.0 <q>Squeeze</q> to be released this weekend</h2>
<p>Release Manager Neil McGovern <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/20110118193635.GC4061@halon.org.uk";>announced the release date of Debian 6.0
<q>Squeeze</q></a>: On the very next weekend, the weekend of the 5th and
6th February Debian 6.0 <q>Squeeze</q> will finally be realed as a stable
release! Final work towards has began, inlcuding preparation for <a
href="http://wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartySqueeze";>release parties</a> all
over the world!</p>
<p>For those of the community waiting impatiently for the release, <a
href="http://news.debian.net/2011/01/22/join-us-in-the-countdown-to-squeeze/";>news.debian.net</a>
provides a <a href="http://news.debian.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/squeeze_countdown.png";>countdown
banner</a>. As the release process takes quite some time, members of the
Debian Project while provide live comments and interesting facts via <a
href="http://identi.ca/debian";>Debian's official identi.ca account</a>.</p>
<p>One interesting number has already <a
href="http://blog.schmehl.info/Debian/bugs-closed-for-squeeze";>been noted
down</a>: In the two years of development of Debian 6.0 <q>Squeeze</q>
the Debian Project has closed 149,862 bugs. Thank you everyone for this
fantastic work!</p>

<h2>Join the DebConf team</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.debconf.org/";>DebConf</a> is a yearly conference for the Debian community. Like
everything else in Debian, DebConf is run completely by volunteers. Organizing
a conference is a lot of work as you might imagine, so it is no surprise that
the DebConf team is eager to have people help out. As Richard Darst <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/01/msg00004.html";>writes</a>:</p>
<q>DebConf is a huge process, and there are many things we could use help
on. People come and go, and are usually overworked after a year or
two — so we would love new people to get involved. If you have new
ideas, we'd love to hear about them and we can discuss if they'd work
and how to make them happen. And by the way, if you are looking for a
good way to get involved with Debian and don't know where to start,
this might be among the best options!</q></p>

<h2>Bits from the Security Team</h2>
<p>
Thijs Kinkhorst sent some <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/201101232332.11736.thijs@debian.org";>bits from
the Debian Security Team</a> reporting about the group's meeting at the <a href="http://www.linuxhotel.de/";>Linux
Hotel</a> in Essen, Germany. Among the things they discussed was various
improvements to the team workflow, particularly regarding therelease
process of Debian Security Advisories - redesigned from the ground up; a longer security support for Debian
stable - still a proposal - and backports security support. The report also
mentions various other interesting topics as <q>Beta testing</q> of security
updates, a README.test file to include into packages to explain how its
functionality can be tested, and the problem of some specific packages which
are difficult to handled because of they include a lot of source packages.
The mail ends with a call for volunteers. More details can be read on the
full <a
href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianSecurity/Meetings/2011-01-14";>minutes of
the meeting</a>.
</p>
<p>In related news, Simon Paillard from our mirrors team, gave some <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/20110126221211.GA8460@toshi";>news
for sponsors of Debian mirrors</a>. An interesting part of it was his
request for help to provide more official mirrors of the security archive.
He's especially interested in new official mirrors in South America, Asia
and Africa.</p>

<h2>Debunking Myths About Debian's Firmware (non-)Removal</h2>
<p>After noticing, that Debian's recent announcement to <a
href="http://www.debian.org/News/2010/20101215";>release Debian 6.0
<q>Squeeze</q> with a completly free Linux kernel</a> seems to have been
often missunderstood, Debian Developer Alexander Reichle-Schmehl <a
href="http://blog.schmehl.info/Debian/myths-and-facts-about-firmware";>debunked
some myth about the non-Removal of Firmwares</a>, including <q>Debian
removed all firmware files from its kernels</q> (short answer: No);
<q>Debian will be uninstallable for many users</q> (short answer: There
are <a
href="http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/";>netinstall</a>
images and <a
href="http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/";>tarballs</a>
for other installation media available): <q>Ah, those Debian freedom
zealots again...</q> (short answer: It's not only Debian).</p>
<p>He also explained some of the reasons for the fuss about non-free
firmware files, and recommended all people, who find it difficult to find
the non-free images, to just remember two things: wiki and Firmware,
as everything one would need can be found on the <a
href="http://wiki.debian.org/Firmware";>Firmware page of Debian's
wiki</a>.</p>
<a name="5"></a>
<h2>Updated Debian GNU/Linux: 5.0.8 released</h2>
<p>
A new <a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2011/20110122";>update for Debian
GNU/Linux 5.0 <q>Lenny</q></a> has been released. This update mainly adds
corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few
adjustment to serious problems.
</p>
<a name="6"></a>
<h2>Debian Installer 6.0 RC2 released</h2>
<p>
The second release candidate of the installer for Debian Squeeze was <a
href="http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2011/20110122";>released
on January 22nd</a>. Some fixes, e.g. keyboard configuration for the
graphical installer fixed for several languages, have been included in this
releases of the installer.
<br />
The <a href="http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata";>errata</a>
collects some details and a full list of known issues. You are encouraged to
test the installer and report bugs; media and further information are
available on the <a
href="http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/";>Debian Installer
page</a>.
</p>
<p>In related news, Matthew Palmer announced test images of the <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/20110121035943.GK3846@hezmatt.org";>debian-installer
supporting IPv6 </a>(suitable for IPv6-only networks) and <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/20110124104234.GH20367@hezmatt.org";>test
images supporting Wi-Fi Protected Access</a> (WPA). He calls for testers
for both images.</p>
<a name="7"></a>
<h2>Cross-distro Application Installer</h2>
<p>
Enrico Zini has published on his blog a <a
href="http://www.enricozini.org/2011/debian/appinstaller2011/";>report</a>of
his participation at the <a
href="http://distributions.freedesktop.org/wiki/Meetings/AppInstaller2011";>Cross-distro
Meeting on Application Installer</a>.
The meeting, organised by <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/20110127021338.GA18879@upsilon.cc";>Vincent
Untz</a>, was focused on metadata (both from
packages and users) and how to share them between distributions or, at
least,
how to define some standards for these metadata. Enrico has presented <a
href="http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/";>Debtags</a> and <a
href="http://www.enricozini.org/sw/apt-xapian-index/";>apt-xapian-index</a>,
two of the most powerful tools for handle package metadata in Debian. As
a result of the meeting, there's now the intent of match package names
across distributions.
</p>
<p>It's also nice to see, how Debian's services and projects like <a
href="http://screenshots.debian.net";>screenshot.debian.net</a> (providing
screenshots of applications to users and package management frontends), <a
href="http://ddtp.debian.net";>Debian Description Translation Project</a>
(DDTP for short; translating Debian package description into other
languages), or <a href="http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/";>debtags</a>
(tagging debian packages for easier search) where a very welcome help and
much marveled by other representatives.</p>
<a name="8"></a>
<h2>On the maintainability of Ruby</h2>
<p>The maintainability of Ruby became <a
href="$(HOME)/News/project/2010/12/">again</a> topic of discussion, after
two of the long term package maintainers, decided to <a
href="http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=617";>give up on ruby</a> <a
href="http://paul.luon.net/journal/debian/AlsoGivingUpOnRubyPackaging.html";>and
related packaging</a>. He explains some of the problems he sees, which
make it difficult for distributions to package Ruby and its libraries;
often problems seem to arrise due to different needs of developers and
administrators / distributors. The topic was also discussed in an article
on <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/423732/";>Linux Weekly News</a>. How
the situation will continue is not yet clear, even so some progress has
been reported. Both maintainers also said, that they will be open to hand
over package maintainance of their Ruby related packages, to new
volunteers.</p>
<a name="9"></a>
<h2>Bits from Debian GIS</h2>
<p>The mailing list for general discussion of GIS issues in Debian
was moved from Alioth to <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/";>lists.debian.org</a>.
As usual at <tt>lists.debian.org</tt> is open also for non-subscribers, has
a more generic name and hopefully can attract more GIS users and
developers in Debian to discuss relevant issues.</p>
<p>The Debian GIS Blend has defined a new task <q>SAR and earth
observation</q>
at their <a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/gis/tasks";>tasks page</a>
which contains a list of not yet official packages which are potential
targets for inclusion into Debian. Feel free to discuss this task or
other ideas you might have about the GIS relevant packages on the
mailing list mentioned above.</p>
<p>Please note that Debian GIS also maintains OpenStreetMap-related
packages, together with the Debian OpenStreetMap Team
(<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-osm/";>pkg-osm on
Alioth</a>).
Feel free to join us!</p>

N'hésitez pas à discuter de cette tâche ou d'autres idées que vous pourriez avoir à propos des paquets GIS correspondants sur la liste de diffusion précédemment évoquée. </p> <p> Veuillez remarquer que Debian GIS maintient également les paquets relatifs à OpenStreetMap, en coordination avec l'équipe OpenStreetMap de Debian (<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-osm/";>pkg-osm sur Alioth</a>).
