[Popcon-developers] Bug#414865: popularity-contest: A script to filter requested/recommended/suggested packages

[carsten@debian.org (Carsten Hey)]

Christian, orphaner has been forked, see #414865.  I CC'd you because I'm
interested in your views regarding forks and l10n issues, since you are very
experienced in the latter.

Translators will probably need to do double work since most strings are
currently the same.  The textdomain changed, but I think this could be adapted
if required.  I could add the strings needed by the fork to orphaner to
minimize the required translation work or give Christophe write access to the
repository, so that he is able to add these strings himself.  The fork could
merge the po files from time to time from the public svn repository.  What do
you (both) think?

Christophe, this should be deborphan, not deborhpan:

$ grep orhpan popcon-retirement.sh
	{ deborhpan -a $@ || echo "ERROR"; } \

I noticed, that you changed some variable names and comments.  Merging code
from one tool to another is easier when such things are not done.  I think that
it would be sufficient to add a note that orphaned actually means retired, but
to minimize the code differences these non-functional things are not changed.
It is your code, so you are free to do whatever you want, as long as you
respect the license.  Think of my comments as suggestions you do not need to
follow.

P.S.: Bill, if you don't want to be CC'd drop me a mail, I have no idea
what your role in this package/bug is.
