Hi,

what is the status of this? I was about to update translation, but when
checking the links, I noticed that the old one works and after your
changes links in English pages are broken. Is there something still
ongoing, or should the test changes be reverted?

Things may move since 1997, but Cool URIs don't change
(http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI).

Because this is a link internal to the Debian's website, the best
solution IMHO would be creating a redirect page
http://www.debian.org/doc/prospective-packages.html which would redirect
to http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/.

Bug#388141: Handling the copyright mess of the website

I believe that copyright transfers are wrong path. Neither other
contributions to Debian project require copyright assignments and also
there does not seem to be consensus that copyright could be even
transferred without paper as in dead trees involved. Also, discussions
during many years in #388141 seems to indicate that not even all Debian
developers would be willing to assign copyright.

IMHO, your strategy works just fine if the request is instead only for a
license change. It can be a generic statement from authors such as any
future license change by Debian project leader decision or just giving
list of licenses as options.

Anyway this work can be started with by writing this
wml::debian::copyright tag, and start filling pages with that
information about authors. After there is list of authors, it is also
easier to request permissions to either license change or copyright
assignment. AFAIK, currently there isn't full list of all authors to
website.

Together with author information per page, I think we should add e.g.
copyright.txt to CVS root directory which contains information per
author, which relicensing are fine, or possible copyright transfer to
SPI.

Hi,

I haven't been very active with web site development, just keeping up
old translations to Finnish occasionally.

Where should bugs in new web site reported? At the page
http://www.deb.at/distrib/ one phrase "Quick Links" is missing
translation in my language. (In addition there seems to be extra dots
after file names, is this intentional?) Was there some information
posted here how translators can make sure that new layout works best in
all languages?

BTW, this new layout looks good, happy to see the progress here

You should make _local_ modifications to Makefile. It has variable

Please read from here

http://www.debian.org/devel/website/using_cvs

You don't need CVS server on your machine, only CVS client, some disk
space (and bandwith for checkout and later updates).

Also you don't need any account, you can checkout those anonymously,
then send diffs to this mailing list. And also you can get your own
account only after people here making decision about giving accounts
(not me) see that your diffs are good quality, because anyone with
account can (even accidentally) break many things on the website, and we
don't want to see that happen.

Please really learn to use CVS, so you can send here diffs against CVS

I had made small changes to fix errors in your translations, but now
with this your new version those errors came back:

There was twice tag closing > duplicated, fixed like this (notice ">>"):

Can you clarify if these sizes mean size of the checkout or size of the

I've noticed with bzr (with other projects) that checkout (or branch or

checkout takes (with only most recent version saved in checkout).

Hi Oz (and any other Hebrew members of the list),

I committed today the change for CSS files and also modification to set
dir=RTL for Hebrew pages. Now the page looks mostly okay for me although
I understand only some words.

I also removed some extra '>' chars in your translation of about.wml,
and filled some tags in templates.he.po with the words and sentences
taken from the page at your URL in tabula0rasa.org.

My suggestion is that you now proof-read whole page to verify that
everything is correct.

At least one issue I'd like you to comment is the irc channel name
#debian in one of the questions. How people reading Hebrew text expect
English words to be? Now it renders as "debian#" because it's in middle
of Hebrew text. Should there be explicit dir=ltr tag around the channel
name so it would be rendered as #debian even being in the middle of
Hebrew text?

I think nobody has commented this issue with current CSS rules. So

After comparing for example http://www.debian.org/sitemap.ar.html and

It seems that Arabic pages have the navigation menu on left side (the
front page, at least on my computer). Can you specify what files have
you modified? Can you for example put your translations (especially css
files) to some web server for public review? If you don't have such
place to publish those, maybe I can try to integrate your diffs with the
build system. I'm only Finnish translation coordinator, but I've studied
Hebrew a bit.

No, it's not rude, but if you can take checkout (cvs commands are
directly on that page, full checkout takes about 350 MB of disk space),
you will get .wml files (which are almost like HTML files but without
extra cruft from templates). Translations can be committed only as .wml
files because that is the way how Debian's website works.

Also it is much easier to commit your changes if you can provide the
changes as diffs (patches) against current CVS repository.

I don't know if you know any Arabic, but I guess that CSS stuff can be
mostly copied from Arabic if it is only left-to-right versus
right-to-left issue.

Please note that some template stuff is translated with gettext (".po"
files). It seems that this gettext usage is one thing that is not

should be very easy to do this.

Hi,

currently there is no pages in Debian website translated to Hebrew. This
means starting new translation. Of course single page translations can
be added to the website, but more useful and better in long-term would
be having translation coordinator for Hebrew, who would make sure that
translations are kept up to date when originals (English) are updated.

All these processes are documented at http://www.debian.org/devel/website/

If you (or someone else) are willing to contribute more translations,
you can/should also apply for CVS account to check-in translations by
yourself. Until you have an account, your translation contributions can
be checked in by someone else (for example I can do it).

Please tell us publicly if you have any long-term intentions, and I can
also add your translations to CVS if you send those to me even if I
don't probably understand most of the words. :)

I think best is to keep things simple. The reason why I do prefer
Subversion to git is user interface and usability. Switching from CVS to
Subversion keeps work flow same, commands same etc. but to use Git I
need to understand much more and learn quite many new commands. If
someone needs distributed "advanced" version control system, then Bazaar
is way to go, because of the user interface is enough similar to CVS and
Subversion.

Also by switching to Subversion, people can make their own choice: there
is at least git-svn, bzr-svn, and hg-svn.

It seems that the bug applies to Dutch and Finnish. The common factor
seems to be that conf/apache.conf(.sed.in) contains AddCharset
ISO-8859-1 for those languages. Also if HTTP Content-Type header is
correct, then HTML meta tag is redundant, and may be removed.

select link "suomi" (Finnish) from the bottom, it loads URL with
"?lang=fi", and that page is correct, because HTTP header then contains
UTF-8 as charset.

Second thing I'd like to notify you is that there was in quite many
places old place of git repository, maybe even I could change this, but
didn't want yet to mess it up. :)

Third thing, how are the POT files updated? It seems that there has been
a convention that POT files are committed to repository. As those are
autogenerated, many other projects have convention that those are not in
repository and also .po files are only updated by translators, who
generate POT files on the fly. I think this kind of convention is
better, but only if there is not too much dependencies for generating
POT files.

Hi,

I noticed that Finnish translations (po files) are not updated for some
time. I think that also many other translators need very detailed
instructions on how to really make commits there, as git seems to
require a bit different commands etc. (I've used earlier CVS,
Subversion, and bzr, but still this git seems to follow somewhat
different logic especially w.r.t. branches.)

Thus can you give a quite detailed instructions on for example updating
po files in the git repository? Maybe this stuff should be documented
even on the website, as there is already info on using CVS
http://www.debian.org/devel/website/ >.

I think that we could write a short script similar to CD vendors
pages, where all data would be in one structured (e.g. XML) file, and
script would make copyright page per language. This would make it easy
to acknowledge copyrights of people who do not have commit access or
are not DDs. There is many of those people (I'm one, being coordinator
for Finnish translations, not being DD but having commit access to the
web site).

At least data should contain full name, copyright years, and which
languages are affected. Maybe we should record in data (but not
publish in web pages) about willingness to relicense data with
specific licenser or give permission for Debian project (or SPI Inc.)
to relicense in any DFSG compatible license.

This way there would be no copyright assignments, no paper work. Of
course relicensing would be done based on trust on email communication
about willingness of authors... (Also not all authors have PGP keys.)

This way we generate /license pages nicely and per translation.
Then for example Finnish license page would contain list of authors in
English and a list of Finnish translators (separately?).

Also a file in CVS would very convenient way to keep track of authors.

Here is a way to translators replace the value on the fly. Please all

Instead of writing , just write

<:= -  % 100 :>

and you will get 18700 instead of the current exact number, and when
the value changes, you will get the updated value rounded.

It just says that EEST equals to UTC +0300 which is true. In English

This is wrong. If you have correctly installed Debian GNU/Linux, it

Python 2.3.5 (#2, Oct 16 2006, 19:19:48)

UTF-8 versus ISO-8859 in English pages

2006-10-02 Thread Tommi Vainikainen
Hello,

I just noticed that vote/2006/vote_004.wml and
vote/2006/suppl_002_debate.wml both containt UTF-8 characters
(according to file(1) at least). There was just a moment ago same
problem with vote_003.wml. So maybe we should consider for using UTF-8
in English pages instead of ISO-8859-1, which is now used?

Simple find webwml/english -name \*.wml | xargs file | grep ISO-8859 |
wc -l tells that 392 files contain ISO-8859 characters, two files
(just mentioned) containt UTF-8 and a big majority are pure ASCII
files. Or should I just recode UTF-8 pages to ISO-8859-1 and wait for
the next time someone opposing character set racism commits UTF-8
data?-)

Shouldn't we remove obsolete translations if those are not updated? I
remember this has been done at least once, but is there nowadays some
kind of automatic removation for obsolete translations if translators
don't update the translations within given time?

Because we use automatic content negotiation, IMHO we should not
recommend using English versions, but rather try to ping correct
translator team if someone notifies us about the translated pages.

Everybody, please remember that there is a Perl script smart_change.pl
for e.g. changing URL's with regular expressions.

Bug#238245: Debian website's copyright and license suggestions?

2005-10-16 Thread Tommi Vainikainen
Hello members of debian-legal,

It isn't currently well known that Debian website's license is Open
Publication License, which has been judged to be non-free, and
therefore needs to be changed.

Currently web pages are "Copyright © 1997-2005 SPI" and license terms
linking to Open Publication license are available at
http://www.de.debian.org/license >. However SPI has not been
collecting any paper work to transfer copyrights like FSF does, and
probably many contributors do not even know about that their work is
automatically copyrighted by SPI.

So basically there is two questions:

Does missing paperwork create a problem?

And what would be good license for Debians web pages? (This is about
content, the scripts used in generation are GNU GPL or otherwise
freely licensed.)

Because copyright is currently claimed by SPI Inc, and SPI's board
meeting is coming rather soon, I brought this issue to SPI's
secretarys attention, but SPI board would appreciate some suggestion
what they should decide about license change.

I've Cc'ed the bug report about the issue, but Mail-followups does not
contain bug report. Add it if needed, please.

Did you build already some pages, e.g.

And then look some of the generated pages with your $BROWSER and also

I'm don't know exactly what it needs to be valid XHTML, but if you
look at the .wml files, there is header such as

#use wml::debian::

These files called templates you will find from
webwml/english/template/debian directory. You probably need to adjust
those files to use XHTML instead of what current HTML 4.01
Transitional, and then go trough every page and check with XHTML
validator that those are really valid XHTML.

At least GNU GPL is known to be free license.

Have you alread read

But anyway, because licenses and copyright are such issues that there
is nobody who can decide about license change alone. I really don't
know what needs to be done to get license changed, but currently our
license page claims that SPI has (total) copyright, so SPI board (or
general meeting) can any day change license as it fits to them...

Last time it was changed in 2000:
http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/english/license.wml.diff?r1=1.6
&r2=1.7&cvsroot=webwml>
That time OPL was though to be free (in DFSG sense) license, but no
more nowadays.

At least current situation is some what strange when Debian project is
removing some non-DFSG licensed FSF's manuals from the distribution
but itself distributes non-DFSG licensen web site...

There has been some effort (or thoughts) on this. Please note that

Feel free to send patches to this list, and someone usually applies

Hi,

Plural support in Gettext does support any number of cases including
the one mentioned here.

In Gettext there is that Plural-Forms in the header of po file. It
says how many different forms there are and C like expression to
select right form.

For example Slovenian uses this (example from Gettext info pages):

Plural-Forms: nplurals=4; \
plural=n%100==1 ? 0 : n%100==2 ? 1 : n%100==3 || n%100==4 ? 2 : 3;

This means that there are four different looking plural forms. First
one is selected when number is 1, 101, 201, etc., second is selected
when number is 2, 102, 202, etc., third one is selected when number is
3, 4, 103, 104, 203, 204, etc. and fourth one in all other cases.

So at least GNU Gettext supports this, I don't know about the website
build process, but it is possible (at least in theory) to support all
different plural forms.

I haven't before heard about such irc client even though there is
Debian package available, so can you give us small rationale how it so
popular, please? As it currently says, "Some of most popular", thus it
is not meant to be extensive list.

PS. I just removed ircII from the page because link didn't work any more.

If you look at the lines where errors come from, there is a comment

The lines from debian.css:

#leftcol, #navbar, #navbar a, #navbar3, #navbar3 a {
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
/* this goes to the end as the css validator does not like it

Committed files with wrong charset

2004-09-02 Thread Tommi Vainikainen
I accidentally committed two files, finnish/ports/index.wml and
finnish/ports/freebsd/index.wml, with charset problems. Latter one was
UTF-8 encoded, but should be ISO-8859-15. First one had some strange
Emacs chars.

My problem is that

...ports/freebsd$ cvs diff index.wml
...ports/freebsd$ recode utf8..latin9 index.wml
...ports/freebsd$ cvs diff index.wml

So, cvs doesn't detect any changes after recoding file to correct
charset. Therefore I cannnot commit correct version. What should I do?
Remove file and add again?

Problem with content negotiation at www.de.debian.org

Hi,

I couldn't remember where to find contact person for particular

I've set content negotiation to accept primary finnish and secondary
english. This works for other web sites (such as www.debian.org), but
at "de" mirror content negotiation doesn't work with directories, only
with files. For example getting http://www.de.debian.org/ gives me

This would be much easier to do if even anonymous pserver would work.
(Or is there anon cvs somewhere?  At least cvs.d.o says refuses my
connections.)  I really don't bother to download files _with web
browser_ to translate... :-(

I thought that maybe following (temporal) solution could be done if it
takes a lot of time until repository is officially accessible with
pserver.

Giving anonymous pserver account could be done by any DD with read
access to webwml CVS repository by just registering new project to
alioth and rsyncing webwml CVS repository in raw format to alioth CVS
with cron.  After that we translators could run cvs update from alioth
anonymously and especially run cvs diff to generate patches!  Any DD

Bug#225982: Three mirrors (dk, ru, br) not updated after compromise

2004-01-03 Thread Tommi Vainikainen
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: important

Some website mirrors are not updated after compromise.  Website
mirrors in Denmark (www.dk.d.o), Russia (www.ru.d.o) and Brazil
(www.br.d.o) are not updated after compromise.

Also from other mirrors, China (cn), Indonesia (id), Hong Kong (hk)
and South Africa (za) seems to have problems with content-negotiation.
Content negotiation should show me finnish as it does in other
mirrors, but these mirrors returned me english pages instead.

French mirror was temporarily down.  (Webserver returned short notice
about temporary problem.)  Italian mirror didn't work at all when I
tried.  So I couldn't check ("real") status of these two mirrors.

I tested this doctype patch locally and rendering changes quite a lot.

And if you want to test other browsers, test page (only in english,

But of course I think it is really good thing to go towards more
standards compliance, it would be still nice to apply.  Rendering
changes are not bad even there is some.  Maybe something could be made
to render tables better without "quirks mode"?

I would like to hear comments from other people working on website

BTW, I've tested cascading stylesheets a little with Debian's web

I won't do that again, at least for german.  Sorry for the

I just hope other translators are happy when they do not need to

I did that commit.  It tried to check those translations and these
were already using quotes different from those accent characters.  I
didn't bump portuguese which was using that wrong (accent chars) quote
style.

>  This is no change that affects only the english version at all.

IMHO I did count original change as english dependant style fix that
should not impact translations, because it is language dependant what
quote characters are used.  Of course because of some restrictions in
charsets, it is not always possible to use correct quote characters...

Pre-installed tag in the front page

2003-08-15 Thread Tommi Vainikainen
Some time ago the tag "Pre-installed" was added to Debian's front
page.  It seems that no-one else than finnish team has translated this
tag.

But even when translated, I don't see translation on the front
page.  The tag is in english and I don't like that. :-)

I've committed minor change to mainpage.wml to add trailing slash to
tag but it doesn't seem to fix the problem.

Any ideas? Does the fact that "pre-installed" is only tag with hyphen
has anything to do with the problem?  In my home computer I've tried
to build that page myself and it works fine, but I'm using wml from
unstable...

You can propose something on this list, it should be fine as this list
is for webmasters (and translators).

Use CVS web interface and take current file as a base what to modify.

http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/english/doc/index.wml?rev=1.37
&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup&cvsroot=webwml>

It would help much if you can provide something ready, such as full
chapters of text.  Then people can just format it as wml and commit.
(Of course best is wml as it is not so much more than plain text but
as fully ready for going to CVS.)

English files out of date but not really

2001-09-19 Thread Tommi Vainikainen
When http://www.de.debian.org/devel/website/stats/en.html> you
look at page listing status of english "translation", you'll notice
that some english files are out of date, most(4/6) of them are just
really translations of stuff under /international so it doesn't
matter.  But what's wrong is those two files,
News/weekly/2001/21/index and ports/powerpc/index.  Those files have
korean version too, but korean version doesn't have translation-check
header, so I think this might be the bug.  Maybe that script
calculating percentages should assume "translators are stupid" and not
let them(or us) mess things?

It just so simple that you cannot assume people can read manuals and
follow those.  But as a quick fix, I'm going to add those headers
files specified and also remove german/News/1998/19981124, because
original for that file no longer exists.

As this page is only translation of why_debian.en.html, which points
to mysql.com I've changed this link now, so that all translations
should now link to mysql.com instead of .org.

Hmm, I just checked my calendar, I was living like next week already. :-)
So there is nothing wrong with that build log, but still those
advisories aren't there.  (Usually those are there after I've slept

Thank you for your info.

I've updated url in CVS now, it takes some hours until website is
rebuilt and some more hours to get changes to mirrors.

I ("finnish") changed this.  This is just normal template files,
webwml/english/template/debian/translation-check.wml.

Better long term solution is to update those outdated webpages. :-)

Yes those are quite different, for example name of link on the
intro/about is "Open Hardware Specification" and I didn't found any
specification from that open-hardware.  Maybe it would be better to
remove whole link.  Anyway I fixed the link for all translations,
sounds better temporary solution than having links to porn sites?

Hmm, maybe start with reverting that logo change, old penguin (or

Feel free to reuse things (license is at

available via CVS, you can read instructions at
http://www.debian.org/devel/website/>.  Instructions are, of
course, designed for Debian developers, who are building Debian's web

Just install wml (apt-get) and run "make install" in webwml/
directory.  It creates debian.org/ in same directory where webwml is
and puts all all built files there in proper subdirectories of course.

> What should I do, commit and see if it breaks? Instructions of how

Also you should translate some pages to catalan, such as front page
(also take a look at translation-check, see examples from some other
translations).  Documentations to how to do this is at
http://www.debian.org/devel/website/translating> in chapter
"Starting a new translation", try those and do some test builds.
After it seems good, you can commit it or send diff here.

But in short: you can't properly test your translation stuff unless
you translate also some .wml-files and do test builds with those.

Also I noticed in your diff that you had modified some other
translations too.  It is of course good to help other teams when you
can, but one commit should include only one logical change if
possible.  So it is better to commit those separated from catalan
stuff.  Also my comments from your diffs, I don't believe those can
break anything, but of course it is better to watch out.

And one thing about slices, please put catalan in alphabetical
(english is exception) place when others are in alphabetical order
too.  In some of tags slices are not in alphabetical order, but mostly
should be, and in the future propably all of them should be.

Because you send this email to debian-www, I'm assuming you want to
translate web pages.  Another option is to translate installation
instructions or programs itself, if that's what you want, send email (and join) 
to
debian-boot list or for programs itself you usually should contact
upstream maintainers directly.

First you should learn to use CVS and read carefully pages about
translating web pages. (That is http://www.debian.org/>.)  Instructions
for translating web pages is at
http://www.debian.org/devel/website/>.

After reading those, and if you are then ready to commit yourself for
long term project, contact James Treacy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and ask
for CVS account.

Order is random in finnish pages too.  If I do local build, order is
correct at least in finnish, swedish and english version.  I didn't

Slink's release notes in finnish

2001-06-10 Thread Tommi Vainikainen
I don't know how those are built, so I don't know if this is matter of
debian-boot-list or this.  Anyway if you go to
http://www.debian.org/releases/2.1/i386/release-notes/> with
prefering (content negotiation) finnish over english, you will get
page saying "Translation not yet available".  Can some one remove
those kind of "translations", so that server will send me english
ones or is there something evil happening so it won't be easy?
