I have also found some really messed up translations (of the few there are, many are broken and don't use diacritics). I don't see any good reason why the descriptions' translations shouldn't be updated, even if we're talking about lenny. Does anyone know if this is a technical limitation or is simply an inertial move which copies the Debian stable policy? Do we need to get the SRMs' approval to do this? -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
