Control: tag -1 + confirmed pending Hi,
just to write down a related IRC discussion: --> beatrice (~beatrice^@151.16.182.232) has joined #debian-haskell <BTS> Opened #709814 in haskell-arrows by Beatrice Torracca <beatri...@libero.it> «Recent changes in libghc-* packages description is a major setback for DDTP translation work». http://bugs.debian.org/709814 <nomeata> beatrice: hi <nomeata> thx for the bug report <nomeata> we do not intend to merge the paragraphs <beatrice> yes, it is me. I came here in case anyone needed any clarification <nomeata> but this is a bug in dpkg (http://bugs.debian.org/659814) which is scheduled to be fixed with dpkg 1.17 <nomeata> so I suggest you simply ignore the Haskell packages until that is uploaded and the packages have been rebuild <nomeata> Note that then things should be easier for you, as then the common part of the packages is actually provideded by a substvar, so it is guaranteed to be the same all over the place <nomeata> (currently we have some variation, which we want to get rid of) <beatrice> that is good to know. we were very surprised by this 1 paragraph change. <beatrice> and yes, things are easier for us if one paragraph is exactly the same all over the place. Thanks for taking this issue into account <nomeata> I guess this will cause a noticable dent in your translation statistics for a while ;-] <beatrice> yes :) <nomeata> I used to do description translation stuff some 5 years ago, so I do remember its needs <beatrice> but we are more scared by having to redo all the translation over and over again than by the statistics. We will skip haskell packages for the moment then. <nomeata> If you look at http://anonscm.debian.org/darcs/pkg-haskell/haskell-transformers/control you can see that the common blurb, which was in all ~600 package, is not repeated in every package any more <beatrice> ahh :) a fellow translator then.
