Dear Debian maintainer, The dash Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has pending bug report(s) which include translation updates or fixes for po-debconf, namely bug number 479361 (and maybe other similar bugs).
Even though this bug is quite recent, the release of Debian is not that
far and an opportunity should be taken to not only fix
that l10n bug, but also get more translations for your package.
I have the intention, as part of a more general action of the Debian
i18n Task Force to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload
for dash in order to fix this as well as all pending translations
for the debconf templates.
Of course, as you seem pretty active on that package, an upload by you
would also be OK...as long as it allows a round of translation
updates.
Such changes are always harmless, which explains why I safely consider
building NMU's for such issues even though they're obviously non critical.
The schedule for the NMU (in case it happens, that is if you agree with it
or if I don't receive any answer in 14 days) is roughly the following:
Monday, June 16, 2008 : send this notice
Monday, June 30, 2008 : post a NMU announcement to debian-i18n with you
(maintainer) CC'ed
Thursday, July 10, 2008 : deadline for receiving translation updates
Friday, July 11, 2008 : build the package and upload it to DELAYED/2-day
send the NMU patch to the BTS
Sunday, July 13, 2008 : NMU reaches incoming
If you intent to upload yourself, please discuss with me. I propose
handling a translation update round and I can handle it myself for you.
That will just require a few days.
In case I upload an NMU, I will subscribe to the Package Tracking System for
dash and follow its life for 60 days after my NMU in order to fix
any issue potentially introduced by my upload.
Let me know, as soon as possible, if you have any kind of objection to this
process.
If you'd rather do the fix yourself, I will of course leave the package
alone. Same if you have reasons not to do the update now.
