Everything depends on what happens with ftp-master and the ongoing plans for integration but I certainly aim to get it into wheezy which means getting uploads into unstable and migrated into testing before the freeze ready for a backport to squeeze, so that's an estimate. I'm hoping to have a likely date later this month. > > There is likely to be an upload but it is > > uncertain whether the bulk of the translated strings will make it into > > that upload. > > Could you please consider performing a call for translation before your > upload?

If no A complete translation is not the aim of the package - a working package is a higher priority, a useful package in stable. It's unlikely that the emdebian-grip-server package will be useful on stable, hence the consideration of dropping it before the freeze. The rest of the package is going to be useful and very few users will benefit from the server side scripts. However, various people need input into that decision first. TBH the scripts and manpages which will certainly be in stable are not going to change much. All this is about is that there would likely have been a lot less work to do once the upload was ready. What has been done is likely to survive but there is no point preparing a l10n upload which could then have to be reverted. > upload is planned before Wheezy, I would really appreciate an Âl10n one, > and would volunteer to wake up other translators in order to prepare an > 3.0.7.1 upload (and will of course provide an update PO file against the > current 3.0.7 version if needed). I will do a call for translations - that is my preference. However, I think you're too keen on fixing translations purely for the sake of some stats. There are a lot of other packages which have a much higher number of users to work on first before this quiet corner of Debian. > Please note that such an Âl10n upload, will it be 3.0.7.1 or 3.0.8.1 (or > more), can still be planned during the first stage of the freeze, thanks > to the Release team who allows fixing l10n bug at that moment. I want to get the upload done in time to get a backport of the package done too. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
