If so, you should work on translating the xdm templates. They *should* integrate the gdm package soonish. > Of course, gdm uses the same templates than xdm and, indeed, the way > such things are currently handled is not very appropriate (common > templates should go in specific "templates-only" packages).

And since it's already done (http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po-debconf/pot#xfree86), there is no need for that. Dupplicating the work for gdm won't help anyone. You are the one pesting about apache related packages dupplicating the templates over and over. The ?dm packages don't. I agree that copying templates from one (gettextized) package to another is not really kasher, and that we should work on a solution to ease the template sharing in debconf, but until we come out with a working solution, I'd prefer gdm to stay as is. Erm. Not exactly, indeed. Looking at the stats, xfree templates have the following stats: debian/po/pt_BR.po!pt_BR!158t0f0u!debian/po/xfree86_4.3.0.dfsg.1-11_pt_BR.po!André Luís Lopes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>!Debian-BR Project <[email protected]> debian/po/gl.po!gl!41t26f91u!debian/po/xfree86_4.3.0.dfsg.1-11_gl.po cs!158t0f0u es!137t7f14u fr!158t0f0u nl!158t0f0u pl!9t5f144u it!158t0f0u ca!151t0f7u da!158t0f0u tr!151t0f7u ru!140t5f13u sv!35t24f99u de!151t0f7u ja!158t0f0u el!145t2f11u And gdm have the following stats: de!1t0f2u tr!1t0f2u es!1t0f2u fr!1t0f2u el!1t0f2u ru!1t0f2u ja!1t0f2u nl!1t0f2u it!1t0f2u cs!1t0f2u ca!1t0f2u sv!1t0f2u da!1t0f2u pl!1t0f2u pt_BR!1t0f2u Oh well. Please Ryan, could you update those templates (ie, steal the modern translations of what you need from the xfree package)? A semi-automatic way of doing this update on xfree upload would solve Christian's issue, I guess. Thanks for your time, mt.
