I have a procedural question -- should I take responsibility for closing
this bug, #454572 (as well as all the others that will be submitted for
the updated translations) in the next cernlib changelog entry once the
changes and updated translations are all integrated? Or is that
something that you or others in the Smith Project intend to do?
I also have a request. Looking through the diff submitted against the
cernlib control file, there are a lot of lines in which the only thing
that has changed is whitespace (usually from 2 spaces to 1 space
following the end of a sentence) or the word wrapping. In addition to a
unified diff, could you also please send me the recommended changes to
debian/control in wdiff format so I can see the substantive differences
more easily?
On my first skim through the diff I have one minor change: the package
short descriptions were all changed to
"Cernlib data analysis tool - <something package specific>"
^^^^
That should be "tools" plural or maybe "suite", as you and others think
best.
I'll await a wdiff before making more remarks on the debian/control
changes (unless you inform me that no wdiff will be available for
whatever reason).
One final question -- will the Smith Project also be reviewing
debian/control files for source packages with no debconf templates?
Thanks and best regards,
