Package: rocksndiamonds Severity: normal Tags: patch The debconf templates you introduced in your package do not closely follow the Developers Reference recommendations, nor use completely correct English (or typography).
The attached patch is, depite my incomplete knowledge of English, an attempt to rewrite them to better fit the current recommended way to write debconf templates. Please consider getting templates reviewed by the debian-l10n-english mailing list in such cases. After fixing this and before uploading a new package, please consider using the "podebconf-report-po" utility to call for templates translations. For this, after fixing your templates file: -run debconf-updatepo -run "podebconf-report-po --call" and leave translators a decent delay to send you new translations (somethign like 7-10 days) In the future, in case you fix or change the debconf templates, you'll be able to use that "podebconf-report-po" utility alone, to warn translators of the changes and give them a chance to update their translations. Please have a look at this utility's man page. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-2-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
