This is all highly confusing. I have not changed the debconf templates, but meanwhile people are sending me bugs asking me to please apply these translation updates. I want to do the right thing and get the translations in, play nice with everyone, and fix & close bugs! Developer X says please don't do foo, while developers A, B, C, and D say please do foo. Technically as the maintainer, I can fix the bugs now if I want to. But I don't want to make life hard for people. #462981 asked me to "place this file in debian/po/ as de.po for your next upload", not to wait for #462210. I am not a member if an l10n/i18n team and don't really know how to judge whose requests I should listen to, and in fact I don't know if honoring one request will inconvenience lots of other people. How do I know which requests to update translations should be done, which shouldn't, and should I apply all these that are pouring in now after some fixed event, or should I just close them out of hand? > So I think the best is to simply wait until #462210 is solved and then > check the status of the German translation. How will I check the status, and how will I know what is the Right Thing to do? Thanks for your help. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
