Bug#298972: Announce of an upcoming l10n update for the mkvmlinuz package

I announced the intent to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload for this package in order to fix this long-time pending localization bug as well as all other pending translations. The package maintainer, Sven Luther (and the kernel team) suggested that I work in the package SVN and notify him when the package is ready for upload. Which is what I'll do [...] Other translators also have the opportunity to create new translations for this package. Once completed, please send them directly to me so I can incorporate them into the package being built. The deadline for receiving updates and new translations is 07 nov 2006. If you are not in time you can always send your translation to the BTS. Hi Christian and Sven, I'm sending the message to both of you, as I'm unsure about who was finishing the l10n pieces. Attached you will find the Brazilian Portuguese translation for mkvmlinuz package, gzipped, UTF-8 encoded, tested with msgfmt (2t) and podebconf-display-po.

debian.README.gz wrong Linus Torvalds mail address
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, This is probably of little urgency and priority but should be a good idea to have it right. :-) I don't know if debian-kernel is the right list to point this out, maybe if you want I can report a bug against kernel package. Checking /usr/share/doc/linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 for more information about SCSI emulation, I opened debian.README.gz and found out: This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the Linux kernel binary image and modules. Linux was written by Linus Torvalds [EMAIL PROTECTED] and others. It should be [EMAIL PROTECTED] right? Kind regards, hope it helps. - -- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw) Debian. Freedom to code.

Who knows what other newer things newer kernels might require. OTOH, old kernel are buggy and out of date wrt modern hardware, and we lack the manpower to backport for years fixes and new features RHEL-style. Do you have a better solution? Why don't we use RHEL's kernel, or collaborate with them to maintain a stable kernel tree, or something? Why doesn't debian really collaborate with ubuntu on the kernels, which would be more natural. Debian use mostly the mainline upstream kernels, which is where everything goes back in anyway, so ... Just my two cents... :) Sometime ago, Adrian Bunk [1]raise the question about a kernel stable tree in LKML, after a lot of discussion (and AFAIK no good resolution), a lot of ideas travel on the list (also in the midle of flamewar), ideas like try to not break the entire userland and let the distro take care of having a stable kernel. 1. http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/3/55 Perhaps the idea of maintain a kernel with other distros is not bad, if Ubuntu shows up as a candidate, I would like to add Progeny, Linspire, Xandros, DCC Alliance Fan Club and also other Debian Derivatives. I really don't know if it is possible to mix RH, Debian, SuSE, Slackware and other distros to maintain the same kernel, but certainly should be possible to get all Debian (and Debian based/derivative) playing together. :-) If you give it a quick look (and a quick try), we will have more users testing the same kernel, which means more feedback, we will have more developers working to get it stable and working to get it secure. Probably even upstream get benefits from this model and sounds like a very good way to work together, even to try to integrate outside patches and backporting things. =) Kind regards, - -- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw) Debian.

And another idea, dilinger could upload the packages to people.d.o, it can avoid the problem of uncertain about his Debian membership.
