Package: talkd Severity: minor Tags: patch l10n X-Debbugs-CC: Mario Blättermann <mario.blaetterm...@gmail.com>
Dear talkd maintainer, the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of man pages both from a large variety of sources (including talkd) as well for a large variety of target languages. During their work translators notice different possible issues in the original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the original. We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check each and every issue. Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format, i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man, groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into your source format. Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify them. I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports should use another channel, please let me know. I initially used the e-mail adress net...@ftp.uk.linux.org as stated in the README file but this address no longer works as the homepage http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~dholland/computers/netkit.html no longer works. So kindly forward this to upstream. Man page: in.ntalkd.8.po Issue: E<.Nm Talkd> → E<.Nm> "E<.Nm Talkd> is the server that notifies a user that someone else wants to " "initiate a conversation. It acts a repository of invitations, responding to " "requests by clients wishing to rendezvous to hold a conversation. In normal " "operation, a client, the caller, initiates a rendezvous by sending a E<.Tn " "CTL_MSG> to the server of type E<.Tn LOOK_UP> (see E<.Aq Pa protocols/talkd." "h>). This causes the server to search its invitation tables to check if an " "invitation currently exists for the caller (to speak to the callee specified " "in the message). If the lookup fails, the caller then sends an E<.Tn " "ANNOUNCE> message causing the server to broadcast an announcement on the " "callee's login ports requesting contact. When the callee responds, the " "local server uses the recorded invitation to respond with the appropriate " "rendezvous address and the caller and callee client programs establish a " "stream connection through which the conversation takes place." -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann deb...@helgefjell.de Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de/debian.php 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/
