Adduser devel - Apr 2012 - Exploring the possibility of an l10n upload of adduser to fix pending documentation l10n bugs

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Dear Debian maintainer,

(“oh no, not another one”…)

The adduser Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has
pending bug reports which include translation updates or fixes
for documentation handled by po4a, namely bug number 670579 (and
maybe other similar bugs).

Please note that I've asked to join your Alioth project in order to
commit directly those l10n stuff (in order to avoid getting them
discarded like in the last MU), and would be happy to continue handling
them in the future.

The i18n team is now hunting the very last bits of missing localization
and your package went on our radar. You may have uploaded recently but,
unfortunately for you, you then got *another* l10n bug report. We
really should prevent translators from translating...:-)

So, sorry for this, but the radar beeped at your package and here am I
with an NMU intent...:-)

In case you can't update your package, I hereby propose, as part of
a more general action of the Debian i18n Task Force to build and
possibly upload a non-maintainer upload for this package in order to
fix this as well as all pending translations for the documentation
and debconf templates.

Of course, an upload made by you would even be better...:-)

Such changes are always harmless, which explains why I safely consider
building NMU's for such issues even though they're obviously non
critical.

The schedule for the NMU (in case it happens, that is if you agree with
it or if I don't receive any answer in a week) is roughly the following:

 Thursday, April 26, 2012     :	send this notice
 Thursday, May 03, 2012       :	post an NMU announcement to debian-i18n
				with you (maintainer) CC'ed
 Sunday, May 13, 2012	      :	deadline for receiving translation
				updates
 Monday, May 14, 2012	      :	build the package and upload it to
			DELAYED/15-day, send the NMU patch to the BTS.
 Tuesday, May 29, 2012	      :	NMU reaches incoming

If you intent to upload yourself, please discuss with me. I propose
handling a translation update round and I can handle it myself for you.
That will just require a few days.

In case I upload an NMU, I will subscribe to the Package Tracking System
for this package and follow its life for 60 days after my NMU in order
to fix any issue potentially introduced by my upload.

Let me know, as soon as possible, if you have any kind of objection to
this process.

If you'd rather do the fix yourself, I will of course leave the package
alone. Same if you have reasons not to do the update now.

Regards

David

Dear maintainer of adduser and Debian translators,

Some days ago, I sent a notice to the maintainer of the adduser
Debian package, mentioning the status of at least one old
translation update in the BTS.

I announced the intent to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer
upload for this package in order to fix this long-time pending
localization bug as well as all other pending translations.

The package maintainer agreed for the NMU or did not respond in a week,
so I will proceed with the NMU.

The full planned schedule is available at the end of this mail.


The package (*runtime* messages) is currently translated to:
ca cs da de es eu fr hu it ja ko nb nl pl pt pt_BR ru sk sv uk vi zh_CN

Among these, the following translations are incomplete:

language        translated     fuzzy     untranslated
-----------------------------------------------------
  hu                44          57            13
  ko                13          56            45
  pl               113           1
  uk                98          10             6


The package *documentation* (po4a-based) is currently translated to:
de es fr it pl pt pt_BR ru sv

Among these, the following translation is incomplete:

language        translated     fuzzy     untranslated
-----------------------------------------------------
  pt_BR            166          39            18


Finally, the *po-debconf* templates are currently translated to:
ar be ca cs da de el es eu fi fr gl hy it ja ko lt nb nl pl pt pt_BR ro
ru sk sr sr at latin sv tr uk vi zh_CN

Among these, the following translation is incomplete:

language        translated     fuzzy     untranslated
-----------------------------------------------------
  el                 0           3
  hy                 0           3
  lt                 0           3
  tr                 0           3
  uk                 0           3


If you did any of the, currently incomplete, translations you will get
*another* mail with the translation to update.

Other translators also have the opportunity to create new translations
for this package. Once completed, please send them as a bug report
against the adduser package so I can incorporate them in the build.

The deadline for receiving updates and new translations is Sunday, May
13, 2012. If you are not in time you can always send your translation to
the BTS.

The respective POT files are available online:
http://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/pot#adduser
http://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po4a/pot#adduser
http://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po-debconf/pot#adduser

If the maintainer objects to this process I will immediately abort my
NMU and send him/her all updates I receive.

Otherwise the following will happen (or already has):

 Thursday, April 26, 2012     :	send the first intent to NMU notice to
				the package maintainer.
 Thursday, May 03, 2012       :	send this notice.
 Sunday, May 13, 2012	      :	deadline for receiving translation
				updates.
 Monday, May 14, 2012	      :	build the package and upload it to
			DELAYED/15-day, send the NMU patch to the BTS.
 Tuesday, May 29, 2012	      :	NMU reaches incoming.

Regards

David
