Exactly, perkamon and perkamon-fr use a workflow that follow the git tree, then finaly sync (using po4a) against the release. (This workflow can manage other languages if you are interested). http://perkamon.alioth.debian.org/ http://perkamon.alioth.debian.org/contact.php Than debian french team (almost the same people as perkamon-fr) update the debian specific part in po files (we use po4a). > As I understand things, manpages(-dev) are upstream > for the German translations.

I was reluctant to upload a version that outdates translations. -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
