Dear Debian maintainer, On Monday, May 14, 2007, I sent you a notification about the beginning of a review action on debconf templates for davfs2.
Then, I sent you a bug report with rewritten templates and annoucing 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-nopo file contains a patch for the templates and control file(s). Please note that this patch applies to the templates and control file(s) of your package as of Monday, May 14, 2007. 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: mount a WebDAV resource as a regular file system
- DAVFS2 is a Linux file system driver that allows you to mount a WebDAV
- resource as a regular file system. It allows files in a remote Web resource
- to be edited using standard applications that interact with the file system
- (e.g. text editors). It uses coda for file system operations and the neon
- library for WebDAV access. It supports SSL and proxy servers. The code is
- based on uservfs (uservfs.sf.net).
