Package: tex-common Version: N/A Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Debian maintainer,
On Tuesday, October 09, 2007, I notified you of the beginning of a review process concerning debconf templates for tex-common. 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 are suggested, and if you have any objections, let me know in the next 3 days. Please try to avoid uploading tex-common with these changes right now. The second phase of this process will begin on Friday, October 26, 2007, 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 Friday, November 16, 2007. 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 <DAY25>, 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. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tetex-bin depends on: ii texlive 2007-12 TeX Live: A decent selection of th Versions of packages tetex-extra depends on: ii tetex-bin 2007-12 TeX Live: teTeX transitional packa ii texlive-bibtex-extra 2007-3 TeX Live: Extra BibTeX styles ii texlive-font-utils 2007-14 TeX Live: TeX font-related program ii texlive-fonts-extra 2007-3 TeX Live: Extra fonts ii texlive-lang-croatian 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Croatian ii texlive-lang-cyrillic 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Cyrillic ii texlive-lang-czechslovak 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Czech/Slovak ii texlive-lang-danish 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Danish ii texlive-lang-dutch 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Dutch ii texlive-lang-finnish 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Finnish ii texlive-lang-french 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: French ii texlive-lang-german 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: German ii texlive-lang-greek 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Greek typesetting ii texlive-lang-hungarian 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Hungarian ii texlive-lang-italian 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Italian ii texlive-lang-latin 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Latin ii texlive-lang-mongolian 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Mongolian ii texlive-lang-norwegian 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Norwegian ii texlive-lang-other 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Other hyphenation files ii texlive-lang-polish 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Polish ii texlive-lang-portuguese 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Portuguese ii texlive-lang-spanish 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Spanish ii texlive-lang-swedish 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Swedish ii texlive-lang-vietnamese 2007.dfsg.3-1 TeX Live: Vietnamese ii texlive-latex-extra 2007-3 TeX Live: LaTeX supplementary pack ii texlive-math-extra 2007-3 TeX Live: Advanced math typesettin ii texlive-pictures 2007-12 TeX Live: Packages for drawings gr ii texlive-pstricks 2007-3 TeX Live: PSTricks packages ii texlive-publishers 2007-3 TeX Live: Support for publishers Versions of packages texlive-base depends on: ii texlive-base-bin 2007-14 TeX Live: Essential binaries ii texlive-common 2007-12 TeX Live: Base component ii texlive-doc-base 2007-3 TeX Live: Base documentation
