Package: talkd
Severity: minor
Tags: patch l10n
X-Debbugs-CC: Mario Blättermann <[email protected]>
Dear talkd maintainer,
the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of
man pages both from a large variety of sources (including talkd) as
well for a large variety of target languages.
During their work translators notice different possible issues in the
original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward
typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a
convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the
original.
We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at
least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some
distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss
the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be
already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately
if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and
the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check
each and every issue.
Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format,
i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man,
groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where
possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into
your source format.
Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are
not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the
problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify
them.
I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports
should use another channel, please let me know. I initially used the
e-mail adress [email protected] as stated in the README file but
this address no longer works as the homepage
http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~dholland/computers/netkit.html
no longer works. So kindly forward this to upstream.
Man page: in.ntalkd.8.po
Issue: E<.Nm Talkd> → E<.Nm>
"E<.Nm Talkd> is the server that notifies a user that someone else wants to "
"initiate a conversation. It acts a repository of invitations, responding to "
"requests by clients wishing to rendezvous to hold a conversation. In normal "
"operation, a client, the caller, initiates a rendezvous by sending a E<.Tn "
"CTL_MSG> to the server of type E<.Tn LOOK_UP> (see E<.Aq Pa protocols/talkd."
"h>). This causes the server to search its invitation tables to check if an "
"invitation currently exists for the caller (to speak to the callee specified "
"in the message). If the lookup fails, the caller then sends an E<.Tn "
"ANNOUNCE> message causing the server to broadcast an announcement on the "
"callee's login ports requesting contact. When the callee responds, the "
"local server uses the recorded invitation to respond with the appropriate "
"rendezvous address and the caller and callee client programs establish a "
"stream connection through which the conversation takes place."
