Package: canna
Version: N/A
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Debian maintainer,

On Monday, March 30, 2009, I notified you of the beginning of a review process
concerning debconf templates for canna.

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, and if you have any
objections, let me know in the next 3 days.

However, please try to avoid uploading canna with these changes
right now.

The second phase of this process will begin on Friday, April 17, 2009, 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, May 08, 2009. 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 Saturday, May 09, 2009, 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.

- UNIX domain socket and require the `-inet' option, even if they run on
- the same host.
+_Description: Should the Canna server run in network mode?         
+ By default the Canna server will run without support for network
+ connections, and will only accept connections on UNIX domain sockets,
+ from clients running on the same host.
  .
- If you want to connect to this Canna server from remote hosts, or
- if you want to use INET-domain-only software, you should run
- the server with the `-inet' option.
+ If you choose this option, network support will be activated, and the
+ Canna server will accept connections on TCP sockets from clients that
+ may be on remote hosts. Some clients (such as egg and yc-el) require
+ this mode even if they run on the local host.

+ Canna server.

+ file's contents manually.
