Right. > I would like to ask you whether there is some tool (program/script/internal > Debian machinery) to discover cruft packages or a public list of those. I think for your purposes, only translating the descriptions for the binary packages from the latest version of each source package would be the way to go. Probably the DDTSS tool should mark obsolete binary packages as having lower priority and mark packages in unstable/testing as lower priority than stable. I suggest you bring this topic up on the debian-i18n mailing list or wherever DDTSS is discussed. > I know my questions are not important at all, but a lot of time and > energies can be saved by having this list so that we (translators) > can concentrate on "actual" translations. On the contrary, I think it is definitely important to respect the time and energy of all Debian contributors, including translators. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
