Hello,

I'm currently not sure I will have Internet access in the next 2 weeks and
I'm not sure I will be able to work on the Pootle package remotely, so
here is the status of the current Debian package for Pootle 1.3 beta3.

The package installs fine and seems to be usable to subscribe and
translate.

There are some (packaging) issues:
 * The current projects are not converted. I did not even checked if there
   might be data losses, or if using the current version will block the
   conversion in later revision of the Debian package (i.e. I'm not sure
   the prefs files are kept). So you are warned;)
 * No administrator account are set up in the database.
   I need to check if this is really needed (at least the email may be
   used for sending the activation code, so current version may have its
   activation code mails denied (IIRC, webmas...@localhost is used as the
   sender)).
   This can be fixed with a debconf screen asking for the superuser
   (user: pootle) email.
   This can probably fixed manually by running:
   sudo -u pootle /usr/share/doc/pootle/examples/manage.py createsuperuser 
--noinput --username=pootle --email=...
   I also need to check what the superuser password is used for, and if it
   can be set non-interactively during the installation (the prompt for
   the password needs to be done using "debconf" on Debian, so I need to
   set the password non-interactively afterwards)
 * /usr/share/doc/pootle/examples/manage.py needs to be provided in a
   saner place. Maybe using django-admin --settings pootle.settings
   directly will be sufficient.
 * Some documentation for the package are outdated (e.g.
   /usr/share/doc/pootle/README.Debian)
 * Some cleanups of the /var/lib/pootle directory would be needed on
   removal of the pootle package.
 * Some cleanup of the /var/lib/pootle directory would be needed when
   updating from previous versions.

So you are warned, I do not consider the packaging as finished, but you
might want to try it. I did not upload it to the translate repository
because of the above issues and the possible unavailability to fix them,
but you can download the package from:

I would not recommend to use it on a production server.

If installation fails, you may have to purge the pootle package first
(dpkg -P pootle), remove /var/lib/pootle and install it again (this was my
current setup for testing, it might work as well on other setup, I just do
not know)


Best Regards, and thanks for this new version,
