Hi all, I plan to upload to testing-proposed-updates a dictionaries-common package containing sarge fixes for some bugs. I am explaining each one in a more detailed way than will be in the changelog:
#263402 no default for, "german" or "german -tex" at high priority This is a nasty bug, the automatic selection mechanism for ispell and wordlists defaults after debian installer settings does not cover all the debian-installer/language possibilities but only the simplest one. This means that in practice the mechanism is mostly broken and after the installation process most users will end up with the english selection instead of their selection if different. #261920 New Albanian(sq) translation of dictionaries-common #265505 dictionaries-common-dev (optional): Allow Architecture: all for ispell dictionaries if hash made by postinst Fixed ispell dict packages architecture in the policy document. When ispell hash files are built from dictionary postinst it should be 'all', but the policy document states 'any'. If before even seeing the diffs you find some or all of the fixes not appropriate to pass to sarge, please let me know. A fixed package (except for #263402) has already been uploaded to unstable. I am waiting for alioth to be ready (some services like www and ssh and may be cvs seem to be down now) to commit the changes and build a new package for unstable for the final testings. I plan to do the sarge upload around Monday, depending on the time slices I can get, since I am still in vacation. Cheers, -- Agustin
