To be honest I'm not sure how the manual should be maintained after the branching. Maybe we should discuss our options; I'll give a start below. Comments very welcome. For the English original ======================== I feel that for the time being most changes in trunk could safely go to the Sarge branch: there are plenty of improvements possible that are relevant for Sarge, including the planned reorganization of Chapter 2 (which I plan to start this weekend). I would not like to discourage changes relevant for Sarge by focussing on post-Sarge too soon and IMHO maintaining two versions is way to complicated and too much work (which would discourage work on the manual even more). The only changes to the manual that should not go into the Sarge branch would be those relating to post-sarge development, like localechooser. I would suggest we postpone making these changes for the time being In some cases, we could even consider documenting both the old and new way d-i works by adding "notes". Translations that have been officially included (es, fr, ja, pt_BR, sp) =============================================== For these any changes made in the Sarge branch in the English docs should preferably be translated as well. If translations are out-of-date (like pt_BR currently), I guess it would be good update these in both branches. All other translations ====================== These are only shown on the d-i manual website. As these translations are build from trunk, I see no advantage in updating these translations in the Sarge branch, as there would be risks in including extra translations on the CD's in later builds. In fact, it would probably be safer to delete these languages in the Sarge branch. At some future time, when d-i really starts to diverge from it's Sarge version, this proposed policy should of course be reconsidered. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBrd8Vgm/Kwh6ICoQRAsmvAKDS9EthIFmJmlGGY2RIocv9x3h2/wCfYcIB dj9C3l/HIDBaeaq/RU1EARU= =p9gG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
