Well, as long as you're able to read a man page, that's not a big deal and should actually be enough.

This is a program translation, so it means being able to re-generate the POT file when Daniel makes upstream changes (but he's very helpful if needed). There's a call for updates running for it, so it's perfect time to learn. You have to request Daniel Burrows for commit access. Of course, I'll advocate you. SVN checkout: svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/aptitude/trunk svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/aptitude/branches/aptitude-0.3 The work now concentrates on the 0.3 branch (aptitude from experimental) which Daniel will upload as 0.4 one day or another. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
