Yes, simpler is better, I agree we should make it simpler! > apt-get source doudoulinux-l10n > apt-get build-dep doudoulinux-l10n > cd doudoulinux-l10n* > debian/rules pull-transifex # custom rule (is it allowed?) > debian/rules binary I like this one :). I think we are free to create any rule in Makefiles, especially if this rule is independent from all the other ones, which seems to be the case. I don't know much of Makefiles but understood that it is designed to be very flexible. What would be logical, would be to host doudoulinux-l10n in "lang/" in the end, so that we don't need a copy of PO/TS files in "packages/" anymore. As it now weights around 1GB, this is an important change to consider! To say the truth, the tree "docs/" that is used to build the PDF documentation from our website, has its own Debian package code. Concerning the schedule, version 2.2 is planned for March/April to provide better translations, mainly. I'm currently working on 2.5 that will *not* provide the ability for our contributors to work on translations (2.5 will be based on Wheezy, not Squeeze, but will look like the 2.x branch). I'd like to publish version 2.5 for the spring. Version 3.0, based on Wheezy, is not expected before the end of 2014. It should bring a major change of the look and feel as well as new applications, plus better translations. Ideally, intermediary versions between 2.5 and 3.0 would be published as development versions, to allow people test and start working on translations. I think we can start to change "lang/" and doudoulinux-l10n for 2.5, in the SVN trunk. I've already started to push changes in the trunk for 2.5 indeed. And our Debian repository has already been populated with several Wheezy packages. So now the most important question: do you feel the motivation to perform all these changes by yourself?
