This *really* sounds like you've got an issue with your tools here. > Some other changes may be reformatting changes to PO files, > sometimes.

What this means is that if anyone decides to actually review the changes you've done they're going to have to wade through a bunch of in the end meaningless changes written in a language (and possibly even character set) they can't read. That's really not good. One of the major reasons for putting things in the changelog is to allow people to see what the changes are intended to do, meaning that they can see if the changes do those things. > All this is exactly the reason for a delayed NMU with a delay that is > as long as possible.

I've answered every mail except the very last one. Half the problem from my point of view is that the whole translation process creates very long delays, meaning that by the time you're actually ready for maintainers to do anything all sense of urgency that might have existed is lost. Anyway, like I say I've now cleaned up after the NMU. Hopefully I'll get time to restore the stuff I was working on later. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
