After my initial proposal about the D-I levels reorganization, here is the current version of the proposal.
The deadline for comments is June 20th. Then I will start to implement
this, along with Dennis Stampfer and Davide Viti who may have changes
to do to their respective parts in the D-I infrastructure.
level 1
-------
Old definition:
All packages maintained in the D-I SVN tree
New definition:
No change
Hence nothing changes here..:)
Maybe, someday, will we prioritize stuff here because translating
level2 or 3 or probably more important than translating some obscure
arch-specific packages. That would have a drawback: splitting the
master file in 2 or 3 parts...
level 2
-------
Old definition:
All packages that interact with users while a Debian base system is
installed, with the default level for the asked questions
(high priority installs in D-I jargon)
New definition:
No change
Some packages previously in level 2 do not fit this definition anymore.
Now
newt --> level 5
tasksel --> level 2
iso-codes --> level 2
console-data --> level 2
popularity-contest --> level 2
exim4 --> level 2
After reorganization
tasksel
iso-codes
console-data
popularity-contest
exim4
level 3
-------
Old definition:
All packages that interact with users during second stage optional
steps.
New definition:
All packages that display something translatable during default
priority installs of the desktop and laptop tasks
Rationale: there's no more "2nd stage" and we should actually ACK that
desktop systems installs are those which benefit the most of
translation work.
Now
aptitude --> level 5
xdebconfigurator --> removed
localization-config --> removed
console-common --> level 5
dictionaries-common --> level 5 (?)
After reorganization
menu
xorg
.../... (default desktop and laptop installs
need investigation)
level 4
-------
Old definition:
All internationalized packages that output messages to the screen
during first and second stage.
New definition:
All packages that display something translatable during default
priority installs of tasks except desktop and laptop.
Rationale:
Translating tasks components is important as they're likely to be
chosen by users. Les pirority than dekstop/laptop because less likely to
be chosen
Now
debconf (programs) --> level 5
dpkg --> level 5
apt --> level 5
After reorganization
samba
cupsys
.../... (needs investigation)
level 5
-------
Old definition:
All packages that prompt users during a default install of a Debian
desktop system.
New definition:
"Important" packages, kept in D-I levels for historical purposes
Rationale: We acknowledge that translating some "important" Debian
packages is worth it.
Now
menu --> level 3
xorg --> level 3
debconf (debconf) --> level 5
After reorganization
newt
aptitude
console-common
dictionaries-common
debconf (programs)
dpkg
apt
debconf (debconf)
