Yes. I'm one of the silent readers of this list.

Of course.

I've read that Leonardo had a look at the Debian package. So just a few
notes.

The Pootle server runs with user/group set to pootle/pootle (but on a high
port)

The POs are in /var/lib/pootle (pootle:pootle) (should be
readable/writable by the Pootle server; readable by the Pootle group is
also interesting to allow some people to grab the POs without going
through the web interface)

The HTML and templates in /usr/share/pootle

The preference files in /etc/pootle (pootle:root) (be sure users.prefs is
writable by the Pootle server and not readable by everybody)

I provided a manpage, which is basically the same as PootleServer --help
with groff formatting.

The most interesting files are probably: debian/rules (it should not be
that far from an ebuild), debian/pootle.init (the init script) and
debian/README.Debian (documentation on what has to be done to enable the
Pootle server on a Debian installation).

I've not tried using .mo. If possible, I will prefer this way of
distributing the Pootle translations (to avoid having people translating
Pootle not on the main Pootle server).

Kind Regards,
