 (though that's more of a theoretical concern than a practical one).

There are templates for doc writers, and it should not be too hard to work out
something for translators. I can't see a problem here.

Like I say, the problem is/was partly the one size fits all aspect of
the packaging templates - the packaging templates are so wide ranging
that you start to get into the same sort of issue asking people
packaging questions about things that are vastly outside their area.
From what Frans said it sounds like the templates are actually being
thinned down for individual applicants by at least some AMs which does
deal with this part of the issue.

dsa metting minutes

2009-07-21 Thread Peter Palfrader
(again, internal work notes)

dsa 20090720

- get rid of sarti hosted at rapidswitch (weasel talks to philh)
- mirror planet to a different machine so we can reboot things
  more easily (mirroradm/Ganneff)
- setup manpages.debian.net
  - maybe integrate into packages.d.o or maybe lintian.
Ganneff talks to djpig
- source.d.o on stabile (zobel+dsa - noel)
- data.d.o pending on new ftp-master.  zobel/luca/taggart/HP
- backup.d.o (bartok running out of warranty/disk space)
  possible hosters/people to talk to
  maybe use one of the nordicgaming dl360s
- cd-builder.d.o.  bzed - tk.  we think status is that
  cd folks basically just need to say when they want the
  machine and we can get one.  hosted at maswan
- security/synproxy.as - talk to Andrew Lee (zobel, sgran). done.
- bugs frontend MX - don+weasel will maybe look at that during
  debconf/camp
- alioth - to a blade @ luca
- move root auth keys into puppet
- rotate all passwords (weasel)
- setup host based firewalls.  move it into puppet/some centralized
  thing.  merge different hosts' config into one.  sgran+Ganneff.
- verdi: - shut down all remainging service processes, (sgran)
 - dd disks
 - powerdown
 - have andi pick up old hw
- experimental - it should move into d.o w-b and onto d.o buildds
  (that's something for wbadm to push)
- raff will go away for a couple of days whenever ftc moves to houston
  wb probably should move away from raff before that happens so it's
  available during that time.  kvm on dijkstra.  zobel-luk/philk
- we should have all buildds to debian.org.
  needs to be pushed by wbadm.  dsa can take over and help.  maybe
  some hosts need to be moved to more acceptable hosting
- kfreebsd porter host (weasel)
- get rid of spontini because it's slow.  zobel/sgran
- need a ud-ldap talk / discussion
- pergolesi is back, still no eric access
