Hello! Considering changelogs: according to the current documentation, it is necessary for the translator to update the package's changelog, being aware of releases and that other error-endangered tasks. I, for my side, have definitely forgotten to update the changelog somewhere :) So my question is, wouldn't it be possible to make these changes automagically, at the release of the package? I imagine it this way:
Each translation has a "PO-Revision-Date:"-Field. Each changelog file has a "Release"-line with a release date in it. Can't we have a small script (I guess, even I could write one), which parses these two dates (for each tranlation), compares them and using a hash of available languages pipes the changes into "dch -a" before the release. I guess this would work good enough and would be just one additional command for the maintainer, while it would require the translators to have 'devscripts' installed on the system. The good thing is: PO-Revision-Date doesn't get updated by msgmerge, so templates' updates wouldn't matter! -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
