Bug#553451: kde4libs: [debconf_rewrite] Debconf templates and debian/control review
Package: kde4libs
Version: N/A
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Debian maintainer,
On Monday, October 12, 2009, I notified you of the beginning of a review process
concerning debconf templates for kde4libs.
The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates,
and the proposed changes are attached to this bug report.
Please review the suggested changes, and if you have any
objections, let me know in the next 3 days.
However, please try to avoid uploading kde4libs with these changes
right now.
The second phase of this process will begin on Tuesday, November 03, 2009, when I will
coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates.
The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will
receive an updated PO file for their language.
Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to
the debian-i18n mailing list.
Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as
individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug
reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with.
The call for translation updates and new translations will run until
about Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed or changed
debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of
course, other changes are safe.
Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my
own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact
that I simultaneously work on many packages.
Around Wednesday, November 25, 2009, I will contact you again and will send a final patch
summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates,
updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations).
Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation.

-_Description: Stop possible unsafe upgrade of KDE4 with running sessions?
- You are about to upgrade to the new version of the kdelibs5 package which
- introduces a major configuration change. Newly started KDE 4 applications
- will use ~/.kde directory to store user settings and data (also known as
- KDEHOME) by default while currently running KDE 4 applications use ~/.kde4.
- KDE 3 applications have always used (and will continue to use) ~/.kde. It
- seems that there are a few KDE 4 applications running on your system at the
- moment. To avoid potential setting/data loss, you should:
- .
- 1) Answer "Yes", terminate all KDE applications and KDE sessions and try
- upgrading again.
- .
- or 2) Answer "No" to continue upgrading. You should make sure that no new
- KDE 4 applications are started before you migrate your KDE 4 settings and
- data. Beware, that clean termination of the old KDE 4 session might not be
- safe..
