We will probably need to change the message, so that translators (and users) get a chance, to know what the question is talking about :-) Will see... > Speaking of translations, do you happen to know why this bot keeps > switching back from systemd-boot to grub?

The 'bot' is just doing its job :-)) The debian-installer is different compared to other packages, when it comes to translations. There is a script ("l10n-sync", you call it "the bot") running daily and managing all the translations files (po files) for all packages belonging to the installer (systemd-boot-installer is also a part of this group). The translator people are not working on the packages directly (for example, they don't work on po files in/from systemd-boot-installer), but on the so-called D-I PO MASTER FILES. You can find them here: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/-/tree/master/packages/po?ref_type=heads The messages from systemd-boot-installer can be found in the po files within sublevel3. That's the files, where translators (or package maintainers as you :-) ) can insert changes. Those changes are then injected into the packages during the following night. In other words: the only "user" who is allowed to change the po files in your package, is "the bot" (named l10n-sync, running on dillon)! BTW: every po file in your package has a big fat warning at the top of the file saying # THIS FILE IS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY FROM THE D-I PO MASTER FILES # The master files can be found under packages/po/ # # DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE DIRECTLY: SUCH CHANGES WILL BE LOST So, the bot is correct :-p Regards Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwans...@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
