Dear Debian maintainer, On Saturday, August 08, 2015, I sent you a notification about the beginning of a review action on debconf templates for publicfile-installer.
Then, I sent you a bug report with rewritten templates and announcing the beginning of the second phase of this action: call for translation updates. Translators have been working hard and here is now the result of their efforts. Please consider using it EVEN if you committed files to your development tree as long as they were reported. The attached tarball contains: - debian/changelog with the list of changes - debian/control with rewrites of packages' descriptions - debian/<templates> with all the rewritten templates file(s) - debian/po/*.po with all PO files (existing ones and new ones) As said, please use *at least* the PO files as provided here, preferrably over those sent by translators in their bug reports. All of them have been checked and reformatted. In some cases, formatting errors have been corrected. The patch.rfr file contains a patch for the templates and control file(s) alone. Please note that this patch applies to the templates and control file(s) of your package as of Saturday, August 08, 2015. If your package was updated in the meantime, I may have updated my reference copy....but I also may have missed that. This is indeed why I suggested you do not modified such files while the review process was running, remember..:-) It is now safe to upload a new package version with these changes. Please notify me of your intents with regards to this. There is of course no hurry to update your package but feel free to contact me in case you would need sponsoring or any other action to fix this. --

-_Description: Do you want to get and build publicfile now?
- Choose wether publicfile should be downloaded and build now.
- If you choose not to do this now, you can perform the actions manually later,
- by running the 'get-publicfile' command (as a normal user, not root) and
- following the instructions.
+_Description: Download and build publicfile now?
+ Please choose whether publicfile should be downloaded and built now.

- If you choose to get and build now, both these actions will be performed
- as root. For security-aware sites, this might be not appropriate.
- Once the software has been build, run the 'install-publicfile' command
+ Alternatively you can do it manually later by running the command
+ "get-publicfile" and following the instructions. This has the
+ advantage that it can be run as an unprivileged user, avoiding the
+ security risks of performing the build as root.

(as root) to install the package.

- webserver, which integrates with the runit and daemontools UNIX service

- This installer package downloads the publicfile .tar.gz file from
- the upstream website, combines it with Debian packaging information
- from the package maintainer's website; then builds a publicfile Debian
- package, and installs that. When installing this installer package,
- one is given the option to postpone downloading and installing
- publicfile.
+ While most of Bernstein's software is now public domain, publicfile
+ still lacks a license that would make it distributable in Debian.
+ This package provides a mechanism for downloading the publicfile
+ sourcecode from the upstream website, combining it with packaging
+ information from the package maintainer's website, then building and
+ installing a publicfile Debian package. The mechanism may be run
+ during the installation of this package or postponed and run manually.
