Dear Debian maintainer,
On Monday, October 08, 2007, I notified you of the beginning of a review process
concerning debconf templates for flex.
The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates,
and the proposed changes are attached to this bug report.
Please review the suggested changes are suggested, and if you have any
objections, let me know in the next 3 days.
Please try to avoid uploading flex with these changes right now.
The second phase of this process will begin on Monday, October 29, 2007, when I
will
coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates.
The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will
receive an updated PO file for their language.
Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to
the debian-i18n mailing list.
Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as
individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug
reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with.
The call for translation updates and new translations will run until
about Monday, November 19, 2007. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed or
changed
debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of
course, other changes are safe.
Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my
own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact
that I simultaneously work on many packages.
Around <DAY25>, I will contact you again and will send a final patch
summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates,
updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations).
Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation.

_Description: Are you sure you want to upgrade flex?
- This version of Flex is a major upgrade from previous
- versions. There have been extensive changes. Flex scanners
- are now reenterant, you may have multiple scanners in
- the same program with differing sets of defaults, and
- they play nicer with modern C and C++ compilers. The flip
- side is that Flex no longer conforms to the POSIX lex
- behaviour, and the scanners require conforming
- implementations when flex is used in ANSI C mode. The package
- flex-old provides the same behaviour as version 2.5.4a of Flex.

Please make sure you are prepared for these changes in Flex
before continuing with its upgrade.

Changes:
flex (2.5.34-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release. This version has incorporated every single
feature and bug fix carried around by Debian, and thus all feature
branches are now sealed and merged back. Closes: #462196
* Since the version from which flex asks the question about upgrades was
released in 2003, it is time to retire the debconf question. So, the
debconf question is now gone, which means that all the translations of
the debconf translations are not required. Closes: Bug#448106, Bug#445744
Also closes: #448579, #448580, #448660, #449183, #449266, #449446, #450958
