 Uhm, I don't see the contradiction here?  If I would really hunt for
the top in the website translation why I would direct freshmeat to some
other translation place?  I don't get it where you see the funny point
here.  Maybe it's just because it's monday morning

 Have fun,

Missing dependency from ports/*/*.wml to ports/menu.defs ?

[Martin Quinson]

Hello,

I updated the file ports/menu.defs to translate the entry "Porting" a few
day ago. Still, this translation did not propagate to the ports/sparc
directory.

Looking in the makefiles, I noticed that the dependency given in the subject
seems to be lacking. Can I add this, or am I deadly wrong ?

Please cc me if needed, I'm not on this list right now.

Bye, Mt.

README for webwml/english/MailingLists/desc

[Gerfried Fuchs]

Hi!

 I started to translate the descriptions for the MailingLists and
stumbled upon this part of the README:

-> Caution: Since the lists description can be used in a text file, too, it
-> should not be wider than 52 characters. (In case anyone wants to make
-> mailing-lists.??.txt...)

 Uhm, is 52 really correct?  What is the rule for the *.heading files?
For they seem to have other rules, none of those are below 52
characters.

 I found some descriptions that are wider than 52 (e.g. 53) -
should that be changed?  *ducks*

 'till then,
Alfie

Hej  
Jeg kommer fra en clan der hedder 
Diuex.
Vi er ikke kendt i nu da vi ikke har 
spillet. Men jeg er ved at indsamle folk til en Top clan. Vi begynder at træne i 
næste uge. Da jeg er begyndt at finde de spiller vi skal have. Men for at holde 
humøret højt skal man jo bruge nogen ting. Og jeg tænkte på om det var noget for 
jer at sponsere en ny clan der regner med at komme i TOP 5 Af Danmarks bedste 
Hold. Det tager noget tid at komme der op. Det er jeg ret klar over. Men med 
tiden er jeg sikker på med nogen af de skillz spiller vi har. At vi sagtens Kan 
komme i Toppen og måske med tiden spille op med de top udenlandske hold. 

 
Det jeg håber i kan give os en kamp 
server. Det er til mand. Og den bliver ikke brugt så 
meget.
Det andet jeg håber i kan give os er 
en web-hotel så vi kan smide vores hjemme side som er ved at blive lavet. 

 
På forhånd tak
 
Manager

This message was in Danish.  The sender asks whether we'd like to sponsor
his "Dieux clan" with a game server or a web site.  I replied directly to
him that Debian isn't about games, but is an operating system, and that 
the equipment and bandwidth is made available by our sponsors for use by
Debian, not online gamers.

Yes. Look at the format of the mailing-lists.txt file:

  debian-announce@lists.debian.org

  Description : Major news and very important changes in the project
are announced here.
  Moderated   : yes
  Subscription: open



Observe the length of the underlined space.

For them, the limit is standard ~ 76, which is implied.

Once again, look at the file.

> should that be changed?  *ducks*

52 was an approximate number, to leave a bit of space on the right margin.

I forgot to mention Bugs/otherpages.inc which is needed by Bugs/*.wml files,
build fails when this file is not present.
