current rules for template changes (was Re: d-i: Plans for beta 1?)
Hi Christian PERRIER bubu...@debian.org writes: Quoting Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org): Christian PERRIER bubu...@debian.org (11/06/2012): It's likely that a mass upload is needed for l10n purposes. Also, I think that a beta is the moment where I should decide about which languages I drop (http://www.perrier.eu.org/weblog/2012/06/09#di-deactivation-status-8) I think you're done now? Except running after last minute changes like netcfg last evening, yes..:-). Sorry if this upload was wrong according to the rules. I was acting under the premise that only strings in sublevels 1 and 2 were frozen. So I thought it is OK to add strings on sublevel 5. IMHO it's absolutely no problem if those are not translated as they are only shown if you preseeded an invalid value or if you are running in expert mode. The changes to all other strings were only trailing whitespace corrections and I took extra care to verify that the don't change the templates.pot file in any way. I removed one change because a string became fuzzy. But as the Google summer of code of Sorina progresses we will have more templates changes coming up. The new ESSID list (instead of the simple text input we currently have) and other improvments are only possible by adding or changing templates. What are the current rules for template changes? Is there a way to get these changes into netcfg and uploaded without disturbing translators too much? I know that now with the freeze being just about 1 week away it might be difficult to get the results of the GSOC project into wheezy. The timing is quite unfortunate for us. But if possible it would be really nice if at least some changes could make it into the release. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.

Please remember that these changes have to be documented in the release notes, too I would anyway suggest to make these templates untranslatable as of now. Otherwise, I'll again run after them...and, even if I like running, I prefer doing so in the outside..:-) I willturn them to translatable when I think it's safe to launch a new call for translations (immediately after beta1 release, I guess). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I have a patch for the installation guide ready documenting the changes of my last upload. Will commit it on Monday (away from that computer atm).
