Dear Debian maintainer, On Monday, November 14, 2011, I notified you of the beginning of a review process concerning debconf templates for ngircd.
The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates, and the final proposed changes are attached to this update to the original bug report. Please review the suggested changes, and if you have any objections, let me know in the next 3 days. However, please try to avoid uploading ngircd with these changes right now. The second phase of this process will begin on Saturday, December 10, 2011, when I will coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates. The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will receive an updated PO file for their language. Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to the debian-i18n mailing list. Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with. The call for translation updates and new translations will run until about Saturday, December 31, 2011. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed or changed debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of course, other changes are safe. Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact that I simultaneously work on many packages. Around Sunday, January 01, 2012, I will contact you again and will send a final patch summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates, updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations). Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation. --

Description: lightweight Internet Relay Chat server
This package provides ngIRCd, a lightweight Internet Relay Chat
server for small or private networks. It is simple to configure, can
cope with dynamic IP addresses, and supports IPv6 as well as SSL. It
is written from scratch, not based on the original IRCd and quite
portable.
