   Could you plese fix this?

 I think this is up to debian-www, not debian-qa. It looks like it's
 simply that some architectures in the archive still have cxhextris
 maintained by you; fix that and the problem will disappear, but
 nevertheless people.pl should take the latest version available.

Ok, I see.

 Somebody should probably upload a version of cxhextris that says Debian
 QA Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than Debian QA
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that it matches all our other packages
 (except mpsql), although that's not particularly urgent.

Thanks.

  Shouldn't Makefile.reports depend on something?  Is it possible to use

Add *-report.wml for the local ones, should work, I guess.

  ... and also with $LANGDIR or what that is called if current language
 is != english.  Or doesn't that work?  That way we won't have to add a
 generation of the Makefile.reports into the cronjobs.  Ah, now it comes
 to my mind that this won't work unless there is at least one
 *-report.wml file...  Stupid thing.

Oh, small bug in the script:

if ($LANG ne 'en'  $#ARGV  -1) {

That way it distinguishes between english and !english.

  It does not yet scan for the defined report, but that can be added
  quite easily.
 
  Makefile must not scan for defined reports, must it?  And the event
 page must not depend on itself for it will be regenerated anyway when
 you edit it ,)

Hmm, of course not, stupid me.  Hmm, the index.*.html:... rule is
bogus since index.wml already depends on *.wml.  That simplifies
things a little bit.

  If you want to have it in the ul at the end, that's a little bit more
  tricky, but doable as well. :-)
 
  There's no need to do it, my intention was to have it in the list at
 the top anyway.

Great.

  If there is, modify the ul to write ul\nli... when the source
  file contains the string ul.  You'll just have to redefine ul
  and refer to ul* for the original.
 
  Ah, right, of course.  But that might interfere with other used ul
 that might happen to appear on the events pages.  Like in
 /events/2001/1115-hispalinux.wml  :)

Simply forbid them, or use something else, whatever. :)

So... are you going to commit your code and I should with mine and see
whether it works as expected?

In this case, tokugawa (Tokugawa, TOKUGAWA) is surname.  Therefore,
this is consistent with my usage.  And, the intension of the statistics
is just the order of surname-givenname or givenname-surname, *not*
UPPERCASE or Lowercase.

Moving from ftp://ftp.debian.org to http://ftp.debian.org

2003-01-18 Thread Davide Puricelli
Hi, first of all an apology: I'm writing this email to all the
translation coordinators, doing a Cc to debian-www mailing list, so,
probably, some of you will receive two copies .. sorry for this
inconvenience.
Now, the facts: today, as probably you noted because of my huge number
of commits, I changed all the references of ftp://ftp.debian.org to
http://ftp.debian.org in the English repository, but committing all the
other translations, if present.
Unfortunately I noted that into non-English repository we still have a
lot of reference to ftp://ftp.d.o, mainly because of International/
pages (that are maintained by translation teams) and because of a big
number of other pages that were updated, according to the Revision
number, without changing the reference, probably because it wasn't
considered an important thing.
Now, I'm asking you to do this little work and we will finally able to
sing our Victory song :)
Thanks in advance for your work!

PS: I didn't find the Korean coordinator email on
http://www.debian.org/devel/website/translation_coordinators, can
someone fix them too?

Bug#21620: www.debian.org: packages.d.o doesn't register a non-x86 arch selection from the search page of packages.d.o

Architecture: powerpc

when someone selects an arch other than i386, the resulting download
page doesn't register the selection from the search page. e.g., arch
powerpc selected on search page, choose a package, click 'go to download
page', the resulting URL doesn't *not* contain powerpc, but i386.

I'm afraid ftp.ca.debian.org is just an alias for ftp.debian.org (which
still exists for backwards compatibility), so there's no point in including
it in those lists.
